Overview
Smart cities and transportation networks are vital to the health of the economy, and essential to the way we travel and transport our goods, which is changing dramatically.
Our researchers are devising sustainable solutions for the movement of people, goods and services.
This discipline of engineering is largely concerned with road transportation, and networks, rail and subway systems, airports, and shipping ports.
Challenges: Sustainable solutions for the movement of people, goods, and services; designing smart cities around pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
