We research road safety and the wider public health implications of transport systems. 

The IEPRG research portfolio includes observational epidemiological studies, including evaluations of natural experiments on:

• Pedestrian safety in relation to electric and hybrid-electric cars
• The effect of SUVs on injury severity for pedestrians and cyclists
• The effect of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods on road injuries in London
• The effect of reduced street lighting on road injuries and crime
• The effect of 20 mph traffic speed zones on road injuries in London
• Construction site injuries in Delhi, India

The research portfolio also includes studies with a wider focus, for instance the impacts of active travel interventions on travel behaviour and health.

• Pedestrian safety on the road to net zero
• The effect of SUVs on injury severity for pedestrians and cyclists
• The effect of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods on road injuries in London
• The effect of reduced street lighting on road casualties and crime
• Impacts of active travel interventions on travel behaviour and health

We welcome applications from prospective students wishing to study for the PhD or DrPH research degrees at LSHTM.
