The Chair of Mobility and Sustainable Transport of Murcia studies the usual movements before confinement, how the health emergency of COVID-19 has interfered with them and what are the perceptions of security of citizens with respect to modes of transport. In order to predict the new patterns of movement of users in the Region after the coronavirus pandemic, the Chair of Mobility and Sustainable Transport in the Murcia metropolitan area of ??the Catholic University of Murcia, led by Roberto J.

Liñán, has started a study that will analyze how the health crisis has interfered with travel. In this sense, any citizen of the Region can collaborate in this work through the form that can be found on the web https://forms.gle/w5oewLQrmtY56pXAA about the habitual behavior in this field of the population before confinement, created by the researchers from the UCAM Transport and Mobility Group and the public transport concessionaires of Tranvía de Murcia and Transportes de Murcia. In this way, it is also contemplated to know the security perceptions of citizens with respect to modes of transport during the state of alarm, taking into account that the reduction of mobility has modified the places of transit and the way of carrying out movements.

. Complementary to other mobility studies This study comes in addition to others carried out by this UCAM Chair such as the one related to mobility in the historic center of Murcia and, the last, on traffic in the environment of San Nicolás, whose data will allow us to better understand the results of the new analysis through a Big Data tool.
