Overview
Join the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s Design & Planning Lab (DPLab) and contribute to Singapore’s next generation of transport planning tools. As a Transport Modelling Intern, you’ll work alongside data scientists and planners to turn real mobility data into insights that support smarter city design.
What You'll Get Out of This Internship
- Hands-on exposure to real transport datasets and modelling workflows used in national planning.
- Experience building simulation models that help evaluate road performance and future travel patterns.
- Strong technical growth in Python, data processing, and visual communication.
- Opportunities to collaborate with planners and engineers across agencies.
- A chance to contribute to tools that influence long-term transport decisions.
Key Responsibilities
- Prepare and clean large mobility datasets to support modelling and analytics.
- Explore traffic patterns to identify trends in vehicle flow and road usage.
- Assist in developing simulation models used to predict traffic conditions and assess junction efficiency.
- Create visual outputs—from charts to dashboards—to help teams interpret findings easily.
- Support documentation and presentation materials for cross-agency discussions.
- Contribute ideas toward improving data pipelines or modelling approaches.
Requirements
- Pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Traffic Engineering, or a related field.
- Comfortable using Python for data manipulation and analysis.
- Curious about transport systems, modelling, and urban planning.
- Detail-oriented and able to work through large datasets logically.
- Able to commit full-time for ~6 months between Jan and Aug 2025.
Who This Internship Is Ideal For
Perfect for students who enjoy solving real-world mobility challenges and want to see how data science directly shapes future transport infrastructure.
