Transport and Logistics

Overview

DTU is following the COVID-19 situation and its impact closely, please consult the webpage to get the latest updates.

Whether we are involved in transporting goods and consumer durables locally or across continents, or in travellers’ mobility by car, bus, train, or bike, attaining efficiency and sustainability in our mobility system is one of the world’s most complex problems.

Society and industry keep facing large challenges regarding congestion, environment and safety, but also large opportunities based on on-going transformations related to automation, sustainability, computing, and electrification.

The flexible study structure allows students to specialize in areas of their own choice, e.g. sustainability, planning and policy, smart cities, data science, decision support, behavioural modelling, optimisation, maritime logistics, operations research and management, supply chain, business analytics, computing and machine learning, transport modelling, or combinations of these through a flexible programme structure and faculty /research staff from several departments and divisions within DTU.
