Additionally, three studies are currently in the final stages of peer review, further strengthening the group鈥檚 academic footprint.

The Smart Mobility Research Group is at the forefront of advancing solutions for Africa鈥檚 mobility challenges, positioning itself as a key contributor to the global discourse on sustainable and smart transport systems.

Overview
The Smart Mobility Research Group explores the dynamic intersection of advanced technologies, public transport modal integration, and sustainability to deliver socio-technical solutions for transport systems in emerging cities. Its research also addresses critical themes in smart logistics and sustainability in Africa, making it a vital hub for innovative and impactful scholarship in the region.

Group Composition
The group adopts a multidisciplinary approach, drawing expertise from diverse fields within the College of Business and Economics (CBE). Key members include:

• Prof Joash Mageto 鈥� Group Leader
• Prof Rose Luke (Transport and Supply Chain Management)
• Prof Hossana Twinomurinzi (Vice Dean of Research and Applied Data Science)
• Dr Siyabonga Mhlongo (Applied Information Technology)
• Dr Tebogo Bokaba (Applied Information Technology)

The group is also committed to nurturing future researchers, currently supervising three postgraduate

Overview

Established in 2022, the Urban Mobility in Emerging Markets Research Group comprises staffff, postgraduate students, and postdoctoral research fellows. The group focuses on urban transport and travel behaviour and their links to urban planning, environmental research, applied psychology, public health, and related fields. It addresses the evidence gap for the Global South, where rapid urbanisation, sprawl, infrastructure deficits, and user needs are under-represented in the literature relative to high-income contexts. The group strengthened its postdoctoral cohort in 2025 with the appointments of Dr Evance Moyo, Dr Gideon Tutuka, and Dr Eunice Kagure as PDRFs as well as the recruitment of a new PhD student Martha Polla. To date, the group has recruited and supervised Master鈥檚 and PhD candidates and postdoctoral research fellow and has published on related topics. Hilma Nuuyandja (PhD) and Takudzwa Mutekwe (Master鈥檚) have submitted their theses/dissertation for examination.
