Niels van Oort works as an associate professor Public Transport at Delft University of Technology and is co-director of the Smart Public Transport Lab. He has been involved in public transport projects and research for over 15 years. His main fields of expertise are public transport planning and (data-driven) design, looking at the passenger perspective and societal impacts, related to for instance inclusiveness, land-use and sustainability. His application inspired work also involves shared mobility and first/last mile solutions. In addition to teaching, Niels is a frequently invited speaker and he published numerous articles in (international) journals and general media.
Niels studied traffic and transport at Delft University of Technology and finished his Master on Public Transport in 2003. He started to work as a researcher at HTM, the public transport company of The Hague. During this job, he started a parttime PhD research in Delft on service reliability, including joint work with Professor Wilson at MIT. In 2010 he changed jobs to work as a public transport consultant at Goudappel Coffeng mobility consultants. He finished his PhD in 2011 and started to work at Delft university of Technology in 2012 as a parttime assistant professor. Since 2018, after founding the Smart Public Transport Lab, he is fulltime employed. Since 2020, he has been involved in small projects via his company Van Oort Mobility Consultancy.
