Transportation systems and infrastructures

Structural and functional design of transportation infrastructures and their planning and management in the territory.

In the field of materials and technologies for transportation infrastructures, the Pavement Engineering Group focuses on innovative solutions that exploit recycled and low environmental impact materials in a circular economy perspective.

The Safety, railways and airports group operates in the fields of safety in urban areas for sustainable transport modes and the analysis of the driver-road-environment interaction by means of the mobile eye-tracker.

The Transport group develops methods and models for analysing transport systems with a holistic approach in the perspective of sustainability. Among the research activities: mobility and its effects, including network vulnerability and resilience; cyclist/pedestrian choice behaviours; transit systems and shared mobility; simulation of airport processes and impacts; road accident reconstruction.
