Expertise
TØI has extensive research expertise in pedestrian and cyclist safety, winter maintenance, travel behaviour and accessibility. Its studies examine how snow, ice, surface conditions and maintenance practices affect walking and cycling, including the safety and mobility of older adults and people with disabilities. Through empirical research, transport surveys and evaluations of infrastructure and maintenance measures, TØI provides evidence for improving year-round active mobility and assessing the wider benefits of safer walking and cycling environments.
The Institute of Transport Economics (TØI) is an independent Norwegian transport research institute based in Oslo. Its research covers sustainable mobility, transport safety, travel behaviour and infrastructure planning. TØI investigates walking and cycling conditions in Nordic climates, including winter maintenance, accessibility and seasonal travel patterns, providing evidence to support safer and more inclusive year-round active mobility.
