Canzler's research topics include the continuity and change in technical models in modern societies. His central investigations deal with the technological historical and technological sociological significance of the automobile . The focus is on the relationship between the private car and the environmental network, with special consideration given to alternative forms of use such as bicycle rental or car sharing . For this purpose, Canzler appears regularly as a guest author and interview guest in the media. In recent years he has devoted himself more and more to electromobility , which he understands as an integral part of a networked and versatile transport system beyond the drive. In this regard, the electric drive is only one of many measures that Canzler is proposing for a more sustainable transport system. This includes user participation in external costs , the promotion of non-motorized transport and the creation of intermodal offers in passenger transport. According to Canzler, digital platforms are suitable for a reformed regulatory policy to combine different mobility offers. The energy and transport revolution considered Canzler continuous based on the user type of the prosumer . In order to allow changed user attitudes to take effect, Canzler advocates decentralization and testing in " real experiments ".

Another research topic is the future of local public transport in rural areas under the influence of demographic change and regional structural change .

Along with Stephan Rammler and Oliver Schwedes, Canzler is co-editor of the series “Mobility and Society” at Lit Verlag .
