Research Activities

Overview

Since its establishment, the Department of Intelligent Transportation Systems has achieved notable success through the work of its staff, which is reflected in the following:

  • Establishment of the ITS and Logistics branch within the scientific field of Traffic and Transport Technology
  • Launch of the first undergraduate and graduate ITS study programs in Europe (aligned with the Bologna Process)
  • Publication of the university textbook: Intelligent Transportation Systems I
  • Establishment of the ITS Laboratory and the Data Science Laboratory
  • Organization of several scientific and professional conferences (CETSI, ITS Forum, etc.)
  • Invited lectures abroad
  • Founding of the ITS Croatia Association – a member of the European ITS association network
  • Numerous research and development projects and scientific publications
