Claudia Hille

Claudia Hille serves as Professor and Managing Director of the Transport and Spatial Planning Institute (IVR) at the University of Applied Sciences Erfurt's School of Business, Logistics and Transport since January 2019, leading research in sustainable mobility systems.

Education:

• Sociology studies at University of Leipzig and Collegium Civitas, Warsaw
• PhD in Mobility and Multilocality from Goethe University Frankfurt (2021)

Research Focus: Dr. Hille employs qualitative social research methods to investigate sustainable mobility design, everyday mobility behavior, and multilocal living patterns. Her work bridges transport sociology and spatial planning, with particular attention to social inclusion dimensions in rural and urban contexts. Current projects examine low-carbon mobility services and electromobility adoption barriers.

Publication Trends: Recent works (2020-2022) analyze pandemic mobility shifts, 9-Euro-Ticket social impacts, and cargo bike potential in urban logistics. Her research demonstrates strong interdisciplinary connections between transport policy, social equity, and rural development.

Research Leadership: As IVR Managing Director, she oversees projects including MALA (remote work in rural areas), ALADIN (cargo bike parking), and PriMaaS (low-carbon mobility services), securing funding for practical mobility solutions across Thuringia and EU regions.
