Topics for master's and bachelor's theses


  1. How to achieve increased active mobility? 
  2. How to motivate people to use car sharing/pooling - what effects could this have for the city? 
  3. Some ways to solve parking problems in cities using technology. 
  4. How to increase the proportion of environmentally friendly travel and what measures must we take when the city or the surrounding areas grow? 
  5. Which technology solutions can contribute to better transport and mobility in cities? 
  6. How to make public transport more accessible for disabled people? 
  7. "Bike washing machine" that precisely washes the bike, and oils what needs it. Including solution for handling the water (which contains oil, salt and dirt). 
  8. "VR container" for bicycles. Such as Way traffic school has for cars, but for bicycles. This can be sent around to e.g. secondary schools and primary schools for bicycle training. It will be a digital version of the cycle yard we have at Berg, as well as the town centres. 
  9. How can an electric boat replace a bridge in a city. Simple and fast transport over a river where you don't want more bridges, or over the canal (where there is already a test ferry). What should such vessels look like, adaptation so that it is easy to bring a bicycle, pram, and wheelchair - even if tides mean that there are different heights between the quay and the boat. For example, they have long had "city ferries" in Fredrikstad. 
  10. Which stretches in the city centre should the autonomous boat go, where should the calls be? 
  11. What is the most optimal redistribution (logistics) of city bikes to ensure bikes where people leave and free spaces where people go to? Type creates an algorithm for the logistics.
  12. Identify/optimize parking spaces for electric scooters in Stjørdal.

  13. How to use data from ducky/telia in the work with mobility planning in Stjørdal municipality.

                    1. Attractive mobility in Nyhavna: There are plans for a mobility center on Transittkaia. Furthermore, it is planned with very low parking coverage compared to traditional housing developments. Bicycle parking is planned loosely per housing estate. Given these premises: how do you create an attractive offer for future residents, so that they want to buy a home in Nyhavna even if there is a distance to car parking and low parking coverage compared to a traditional parking basement under a block of flats being developed elsewhere. What drives home buyers, and which mobility measures should we think about to win home buyers' hearts?

                    2. Temporarily in Nyhavna: Urban structure in Nyhavna must facilitate a car-free district and the road network must ensure an urban environment rich in experiences so that it is attractive to walk and cycle. There are already many businesses and tasks in Nyhavna today, such as BrukOm, Open Kindergarten, Industrial companies and pure office activities. How can temporary solutions change the habits of today's users of Nyhavna, while at the same time we develop Nyhavna into an attractive place to live and work in the future for even more residents, employees and companies. An investigation can be carried out for Nyhavna as a whole, or based on a specific area of ​​use (e.g. office, BrukOm or open nursery school)

                    3. Mobility and vocabulary: How do we talk in Trondheim and Nyhavna about mobility, car use, cycling, walking and delivery of goods? How does public debate about mobility and technical technical language affect planned solutions and vice versa?

                    4. Collective axis: how to ensure an experience-rich urban environment that is attractive for walking and cycling, while public transport must fulfill its function of transporting people to, from and past Nyhavna through the planned metrobus route

                    5. Winter operation of mobility solutions: how to ensure space for snow, safe pedestrian and cycle paths, while at the same time facilitating progress for goods delivery, waste management, fire and ambulance services? How can road design and space sharing contribute to safe and attractive solutions for all players, while keeping maintenance costs to a minimum
