Traffic Engineering
The main objective of the Traffic Engineering Research Group is to carry out cutting-edge research in the area of traffic flow theory and operations. Our ultimate goal is to improve transportation systems and move them towards a sustainable state. To achieve this, researchers and students in this group work together conducting both empirical and theoretical studies. We apply scientific knowledge to develop state-of-the-art and pragmatic solutions.
