The Department of Transportation Planning and Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) studies the transportation of persons and goods. Attention is given to all transport modes and methodologies used include surveys, general planning, feasibility studies and implementation studies. Over the past 30 years, NTUA has been involved in more than 80 international and 100 national research projects, corresponding to a budget of more than 13 million Euros. To date, special emphasis has been given to research on road safety and traffic accident analysis, as well on transportation information systems at national and international level. More precisely, NTUA participated in numerous road safety and transportation planning projects of the 3rd - 7th EU RTD Framework Programmes and other EU-projects, as well as in several national research projects in the field of road safety (e.g., strategic plan for road safety in Greece, road safety audits, accident analysis, etc).
