Within “Sapienza” University of Rome, the DICEA Department is involved in civil, building and environmental engineering. The Transport Area is one of the largest of the Department’s nine areas. Its teaching and research are mainly in the field of planning and management of passenger and freight transport systems. In addition to teaching, the Department’s laboratories and personnel are also engaged in numerous experiments, research projects, and consultancies in Italy, Europe and elsewhere. Important research topics are railway and road safety, freight transport, and public transport systems. The participation in numerous (more than 30 in the last 10 years) and prestigious European research projects has permitted the DICEA Transport Area to develop its research in a context of cultural interchange with the most important research centres in Europe and elsewhere in the world, making it thus possible to make known the results of its activities.
