Logistic and Transport Engineering research group began to work in 2006, as a result of its membership interest in the techniques of engineering and transportation infrastructures. The main active research lines are, on one hand, the improvement in the construction of transportation infrastructures, integrating the last advances in sustainable and recycling techniques, and, on the other hand, the modelling transport system for public and private urban and inter-city transports. The sustainable mobility aim is one of the key points of the activity of the research team, giving special attention to the use of recycled materials or for those which construction produces the minimum possible environmental impact. In addition, the promotion of the public transport and the minimization of externalities -accidents, noise, traffic jam, pollution- owed to the transport are basic strategies to improve the quality of life of the citizens.
