LTU has conducted original research on winter mobility barriers, winter city urban design and pedestrian connectivity, including studies published in 2017 and 2019. Since 2016, its Active School Transport programme has developed and evaluated methods to increase children's walking and cycling to school, including during winter. Its current Planning for Walking programme investigates pedestrian safety, winter maintenance, falls and mobility data, while related research examines older adults' winter accessibility and year-round Arctic public spaces.
