TC Planning and Control of Transportation and Logistic Networks Logo

Chair: Cecilia Pasquale
Co-Chair(s): Alberto Petrillo

Short Description

Logistic and transportation networks are characterized by a high degree of complexity in terms of organization, administration and technologies, thus requiring focused attention both by researchers and industry partners. The development of innovative approaches is now becoming more and more pressing, due to the necessity of managing logistic and transportation systems in an efficient, synchronized and integrated way towards smart, safe and sustainable mobility environments.

Goal

The main scope of the PCTLN-TC activities regards the development of optimization and control methods/tools for the analysis, supervision, planning and management of logistic and transportation systems. The main topics of interest for the TC include (but are not limited to):

  • Planning and management of seaports and terminals
  • Planning and control problems in transportation networks
  • Maritime transportation planning and control
  • Cooperative logistics
  • Multimodal transport modelling, monitoring and control
  • City logistics
  • Automated terminals
  • Sustainability challenges in transportation and logistics
  • Synchromodal logistics
  • Supply chain management
  • Information systems for logistic and transportation systems
