Communications and Transport Systems (KTS)

Flygplan över flygplats

The KTS-division includes research and education within the areas of traffic systems, quantitative logistics, construction logistics, mobile telecommunication, mathematics and construction technology. Common for most areas is that they deal with problems and issues related to the planning, design, control and analysis of systems for logistics, transportation, traffic and telecommunications. 

We often use mathematical modelling as a tool to describe the systems. Of special interest is the integration of information and communication technologies to applications within the field of traffic and logistics. The division includes around 70 people, among them more than 20 PhD-students.

Air traffic and transportation planning and management

We develop mathematical models and algorithmic solutions for challenges in air traffic management and air transportation. 
Bergsbron, bilkö kväll

Traffic Modeling and Simulation

Our research includes both the development of new types of models, and the application of models to new situations. The models studied include both the demand and supply side of the problem and...

Transport Analytics

We are currently working with data from stationary radar sensors which measure speed and flow of traffic, GPS data from vehicles driving around urban areas, and mobile phone location data extracted from the mobile phone network.
Buss på bro passerar över tåg

Public transportation and railway

The research group for public transport and railway is interested in developing models and methods, which describe the traffic and can be used as decision support tools. 
Telekommunikation i smart stad

Telecommunications for Smart Cities

Our research focuses on modeling and evaluating the communication and network architectures of such relevant Internet of Things deployments with applications in smart cities.
