Organisation description

The Department of Technology and Society, Lund University, conducts broad and comprehensive research in the field of roads and transport that provides unique opportunities for cooperation across prevailing areas of expertise. The division of Traffic engineering (prof. Christer Hydén and Andràs Vàrhelyi) has long devoted great attention to traffic safety. Other important concerns are IT, model development and transport economics. The most important research areas in the division of Traffic Planning (prof.
