Intelligent transport and sustainable mobility
One of the most important global objectives of our time is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from maritime and land transport, as these are responsible for a quarter of total emissions into the atmosphere.
Clean and efficient transport
Urban and metropolitan transport policies are moving towards active, non-motorised travel, the use of public transport, and the development of cleaner and more efficient means of transport.
CITEEC’s lines of work focus on the operation of public transport systems, transport planning, the improvement of rail systems, and the pursuit of more sustainable mobility in urban and metropolitan areas. In addition, they study the design, safety and efficiency of maritime transport and the development of predictive models to help with decision-making in port operations.

Resultados esperables
Sustainable mobility
To advance the search for new approaches that promote smart and sustainable mobility, reducing pollutant emissions as well as the carbon footprint.
Clean urban transport
To create cities with urban environments that are more citizen-friendly and less reliant on private cars.
Digitisation
To use new digitalisation tools to achieve connected, automated, smart and less polluting mobility that is better suited to the environment.
Optimising logistics
Committing to co-modality and inter-modality to reduce dependence on conventional road transport and optimise the efficiency of logistics networks.
Port efficiency
To analyse the dynamic behaviour of moored vessels and the design of breakwaters as key factors in the safety and efficiency of port basins.
Galicia in the spotlight
Special interest in analysing transport links between cities and their metropolitan areas, transport needs in urban areas, and the management of ports and estuaries.
