Research in Communications and Transport SystemsShow/Hide content

The research deals with problems and issues related to the planning, design, utilization, management and analysis of infrastructure for the transport of people and goods as well as for telecommunications. The research has a system perspective and in many projects we can see a cooperation between researchers with different disciplinary background. Mathematical modelling is often used as a methodology tool, but our research also includes qualitative methods to describe and analyze problems and systems.
