ABSTRACT This paper considers the contribution made to transport geography research at the University of Aberdeen over the last century. In section one, the earliest work in transport geography emphasised the physical connectivity provided by transport through infrastructure networks. Section 2 discusses the contribution made at Aberdeen to debates around accessibility and connectivity. This work had a strong rural dimension and evidenced a growing recognition of the importance of technology in transport. It provided the springboard for research on digital connectivity with important contributions to the wider domain of transport studies in the fields of flexible transport, rural connectivity, transport and energy and social media and big data as reported in Section 3. Section 4 brings the story of transport research at Aberdeen up to the present. It frames research under the banner of intelligent mobility (IM), which links technology and mobility to the wider societal objective of enabling the smarter, greener and more efficient movement of people and goods. Contributions are reported to the fields of shared mobility, smart rural mobility, transport security and privacy and accessibility. Finally, a return to the theme of infrastructure networks and connectivity is highlighted in work on global production networks in aviation.

从基础设施到数字网络：阿伯丁交通地理学研究的可访问性和连通性

摘要 本文考虑了阿伯丁大学在上个世纪对交通地理学研究所做的贡献。在第一节中，交通地理学的最早工作强调了交通通过基础设施网络提供的物理连通性。第 2 节讨论了在 Aberdeen 对有关可访问性和连通性的辩论所做的贡献。这项工作具有很强的农村层面，证明了人们越来越认识到技术在运输中的重要性。它为数字连通性研究提供了跳板，对灵活交通、农村连通性、交通和能源以及社交媒体和大数据领域的更广泛的交通研究领域做出了重要贡献，如第 3 节所述。第 4 节讲述了阿伯丁迄今为止的交通研究。它在智能移动 (IM) 的旗帜下构建研究，将技术和移动与更广泛的社会目标联系起来，实现更智能、更环保和更高效的人员和货物移动。据报告，共享出行、智能农村出行、交通安全以及隐私和可访问性等领域的贡献。最后，关于全球航空生产网络的工作强调了对基础设施网络和连通性主题的回归。
