CERIS – Civil Engineering Research and Innovation for Sustainability > RESEARCH GROUPS > TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS

Coordinator: Luís Picado Santos

This group is composed of 24 researchers (9 integrated PhD, 7 PhD collaborator, 8 PhD students) covering a broad range of topics, which include different fundamental transportation systems and cross-cutting related issues, such as:

Transportation Systems Research Group is active in the following domains of transportation systems:

  1. Regulatory and pricing policies and systems assessment
  2. Spatial mobility and transportation systems resorting to multiple levels and territorial scales of organization
  3. Optimal development, design and management of transportation infrastructures with a special emphasis on sustainable lifecycle perspectives

Through all thematic strands of CERIS, Transportation Systems Research Group

plans to:

  • Establish the best platforms and approaches to develop sustainable policies (regulatory, pricing and evaluation) for the transportation systems
  • Integrate public and private transportation modes and services under new types of sustainable mobility demands and business models
  • Enhance innovation on infrastructure planning, design and technology for soft mobility
  • Improve infrastructure systems development and management under new challenges such as automated mobility for cargo and passengers.

Transportation Systems Research Group made a considerable impact on specific topics such as:

  1. Regulatory and pricing policies and systems assessment
    • Transport systems and policies for an ageing society
    • Optimization and simulation of public transport operations under uncertainty for demand and risk analysis to support decision-making on investments
  1. Spatial mobility and transportation systems resorting to multiple levels and territorial scales of organization
    • New types of integration of public and private transportation modes and services (among each type and across the types) supported by new business models and by appropriate ITS tools
    • Tools and indicators for infrastructure planning, design and technology development to foster sustainable transport systems and reduce socio-territorial inequalities
  1. Optimal development, design and management of transportation infrastructures with a special emphasis on sustainable lifecycle perspectives
    • Methodologies to predict degradation and improve maintenance, renewal and investment decisions within and across the different transport infrastructures
    • Retrofitting transport systems: changing and adapting “old to like-new” transport systems to meet new performance standards while extending the existing ones
