The International Traffic Safety Data and Analysis Group (IRTAD) of the International Transport Forum (ITF/OECD) and NTUA are co-organizing the 8th IRTAD International Conference: Better Road Safety Data for Better Safety Performance which will be held in Athens, Greece, on 15-17 April 2026. The objectives of the Conference are to discuss improvements in the quality of data systems and data analysis in IRTAD and other countries by fostering knowledge transfer among participants, with particular emphasis on road safety performance. The Conference is open to all and is primarily for the attention of road safety researchers, data analysts, those involved in collecting safety data and developing databases, and all those using the results of research to advise decision makers on road safety matters. Researchers can submit their abstracts until 30 September 2025.  

The 13th Symposium of European Association for Research in Transportation (hEART2025) took place with great success at the Technical University of Munich, from June 10th to June  12th 2025.  The Symposium offered an opportunity for in depth discussion in all scientific methods and analyses in transport. NTUA actively contributed with several papers, posters and presentations.

Phd Candidate Androniki Dimitriadou has received one of the two best paper awards at the hEART2025 conference held at the Technical University of Munich from June 10th to June  12th 2025, co-authored with Assistant Professor Konstantinos Gkiotsalitis. Her paper entitled “A multi-objective vehicle routing and public transport rescheduling model“, was developed as part of the PTMaaS project, which focuses on the scheduling integration of public transport and shared mobility—an area of growing importance in sustainable and passenger-centered mobility.

 

As part of the educational activities of the transportation engineering cycle of the School of Civil Engineering of NTUA, an educational visit was held to Polis Park Parking Lot, Children’s Hospital Square (Goudi) on Tuesday, May 6th, 2025. During the visit the students of the 8th semester had the opportunity to learn about the basic issues related to the organization, management and exploitation of parking lots and to understand in practice the application of parking theory.

Event Program  

Presentation of the Department of Transportation Planning and Engineering  

The works of upgrating the traffic signs of the road network of NTUA Zografou campus have been completed. A total of 565 regulatory signs of various sizes, 256 new galvanized metal poles, 5 convex mirrors and 150 bollards were installed.

Particulary important is the adoption of 30 km/h speed limit on the entire road network of the NTUA Zografou campus, which will be even stricter around the central squares (20km/h).

The Rectorate of NTUA expressed special thanks to the staff of the Departement of Transportation Planning and Engineering and Prof. George Yannis, Head of the Department for the preparation of the relevant Traffic Study, as well as to all the staff of the Technical Service who who contributed for the implementation of the project.

Marco Rinaldi, Assistant Professor in Advanced Traffic Management at Delft University of Technology, gave a lecture on Thursday March 13th, at the Amphitheater of Railways and Transport of the Department of Transportation Planning and Engineering of NTUA, titled “Auction-based approaches for distributed cooperative traffic management”.

Marco Rinaldi (1985) is Assistant Professor in Advanced Traffic Management at the  Delft University of Technology. He studied Computer and Automation Engineering and completed his PhD research in 2016 on Information collection and Decomposition schemes for Network Traffic Management at the KU Leuven. Between 2016 and 2020 he worked with the University of Luxembourg, researching the impact of fleet electrification for Public Transport operations and tactic management. His research involves computational modelling and problem-solving for Multimodal Traffic Management, investigating aspects of data collection, availability and processing, as well as applications of novel techniques (AI) for fast, responsive and resilient decision support systems.
