Research areas:

The research of the Transportation Laboratory is addressed to the planning and management of transportation systems.
Our main research lines are the following:

  • Traffic flow analysis and simulation
  • Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
  • Transportation system modelling and simulation
  • Methods and models for evaluating transportation systems sustainability
  • Traffic safety
  • Analysis of factors affecting transportation system resilience against disruptive events
  • Logistics and freight transportation systems
  • Transportation Information Systems


Among the tools used in research activities, the Transportation Laboratory has two driving simulators.
