New podcast series explores people and mobility

The series was recorded by the Metropoolregio Rotterdam Den Haag (MRDH) and consists of four short episodes about people and mobility, presented by Louis Hueber. Danique joins fellow traffic engineering professionals Jan Willem Immerzeel and Claudia de Koning to discuss what draws them to the field. For some, traffic engineering is a degree. For others, it is a passion.

All four episodes are now available online:

Episode 1: “Waarom mobiliteit je grijpt” (“Why mobility grips you”)
The guests explain why they chose traffic engineering and offer advice on how to get started in the profession.

Episode 2: “Verkeerskunde toen en nu” (“Traffic engineering then and now”)
The three speak candidly about the dilemmas and ambitions of traffic engineers past and present. As they put it, one person’s solution is another person’s problem.

Episode 3: “Woekeren met beperkte ruimte maar behoud van de leefbare omgeving” (“Making the most of limited space while preserving a liveable environment”)
Guiding traffic safely and smoothly is a puzzle that needs solving. The guests discuss how to make the most of scarce space without compromising quality of life.

Episode 4: “De verkeerskundige van 2040” (“The traffic engineer of 2040”)
By 2040, traffic engineers will be more like social scientists than ever before. Knowing how to design a roundabout will no longer be enough, as the user will take centre stage. The speakers share their vision of how the profession is developing.

Please note the podcast is in Dutch
