Innovation and New Technologies in Transport and Logistics
We are proud to announce the release of the latest issue of Promet – Traffic&Transportation (Vol. 36, No. 6, 2024), a Special Issue titled "Innovation and New Technologies in Transport and Logistics". This edition showcases a selection of groundbreaking research that addresses some of the most pressing challenges in modern transport and logistics, emphasizing the pivotal role of science and technology in creating sustainable, efficient, and secure mobility systems.
Transportation systems worldwide face significant challenges: increasing urban congestion, rising emissions, complex logistics demands, and growing threats to cybersecurity in critical infrastructure. Addressing these issues requires innovative approaches and interdisciplinary collaboration. This Special Issue serves as a platform for advancing knowledge and proposing transformative solutions.
Highlighted topics in this issue include:
This Special Issue is more than a collection of articles; it is a testament to the power of research and innovation in tackling global mobility challenges. By fostering the exchange of knowledge among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, the journal continues to contribute to shaping the future of transport and logistics.
We invite you to explore this Special Issue and oint he conversation on how innovation and technology can redefine the way we move, connect, and grow.
Eleonora Papadimitriou is Associate Professor in the Safety and Security Science Section of the Faculty of Technology, Policy, and Management of Delft University of Technology. She holds a Civil / Transportation Engineering diploma from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA, 2001), a MSc in Transport from the Ecole des Ponts ParisTech (2003) and a PhD (2010) in Transport Safety from NTUA.
Her teaching and research activities are on the safety and accident risks of all transport modes (road, maritime, rail, aviation), with emphasis on the complex interaction between user, vehicle, technology and environment. She uses quantitative methods for identifying and managing transport risks and their uncertainties. Her research aims to build bridges between engineering, human factors and data science in transport safety, taking into account the value dimension and the ethical issues involved.
Eleonora has been involved in more than 25 research projects in the field of transport safety, including several multidisciplinary international projects of the European Commission, the OECD/ITF, WHO, UNECE etc. She is currently coordinating a Horizon Europe, Marie Sklodowska-Curie industrial doctorates network on ‘AI for Vision Zero in Road Safety’. She is member of the Editorial Board of the Journals Accident Analysis & Prevention, and IATTS Research.
Dario Babić is an assistant professor at the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences, University of Zagreb, Croatia, with more than 10 years of experience in the field of road safety. His main research interests include quality testing of road markings and road signs, scientific and commercial projects related to traffic control devices, road safety, driver behaviour, driving simulator research, eye tracking, etc. He conducted his postdock research at the Transportation Research Institute, University of Hasselt, Hasselt (Belgium) in 2019, and at the Michigan State University as a Fulbright research scholar in academic year 2021/2022.
He is the author of over 50 scientific papers published in international scientific and professional journals and presented at international conferences. Also, during his career, he has participated in over 30 projects. He actively participates in the work of the scientific community through editorial work in scientific journals and as a reviewer for high-indexed journals. In addition, he is a member of Croatian Chamber of Transport Engineers, Croatian Committee for Standardization - Technical Committee DZNM/TO 509: Road equipment and CEN/TC226 WG2 (Road Markings), CEN/TC226 WG3 (Traffic Signs), CEN/T226 WG12 (Road Interaction - ADAS).
Marko Matulin, Ph.D. works at the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences, the University of Zagreb since 2008 in various roles; currently as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Information and Communication Traffic. Through his research and professional growth, he mastered the use of traffic theory and traffic models in real-case scenarios, quality of service, and user quality of experience analysis for different telecommunication services and networks. He also has hands-on knowledge of relational databases, object-oriented programming languages, statistical analysis, and web application development. The scientific projects he participated in include topics related to user perception studies about various telecommunication services, network performance analysis, and evaluation, and using VR technology in industrial environments. Three of his favorite hobbies are playing tennis and electric guitar (not at the same time) and cycling.
