Department of Transport Engineering performs Theoretical and applied research on the following subjects:
During analysis of development of transportation system and trends of research in this area KTU researchers of transport engineering field, who participate in the activities of ECTRI (European Conference of Transport Research Institutes), EURNEX (European Rail Research Network of Excellence) and FISITA (International Federation of Automotive Engineering Societies), emphasize focusing of international scientific community and authorities, responsible for making of transportation policy, on pollution caused by transportation and studies of development trends of sustainable transportation system.
- Reduction of pollution caused by transportation
- Energy preservation and safety requirements in all transportation system (transportation means, terminals, logistics, traffic management )
Applied works:
- Development and application of innovative research methods and solutions for transportation constructions, transportation means and their flows;
- Identification of zones of congestions in Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipėda and methods for calculation of losses suffered due to traffic congestion;
- Creation and development of safe, sustainable and competitive transportation and logistics systems;
- Introduction of measures and methods for decision making aimed at environmentally sustainable transportation systems;
- Technologies for clean production of biofuel in Ukraine and Lithuania;
- Safety assessment model for advanced monitoring systems of road accidents;
