Department of Transport - Scientific activities

Scientific activities

The research areas of the department can be divided into four main groups: public passenger transport, transport safety, railway operation and waterborne transport. Due to the composition of the members of the department, the main focus is on research connected to public transport. Traditionally, the department has a good relationship with public transport operators nationwide. As a result of this partnership the ’Public Transport’ Transport and Vehicle Industrial Cluster was established in 2009. In the past few years mutually beneficial cooperations were established primarily with German and Swiss partners in the field of transport planning.

The department has a computer room where state-of-the-art transport planning and simulation software are at the disposal of students.
