Dr Achille Fonzone appointed Associate Editor of Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems
Feb 13, 2017
Summary Dr Achille Fonzone of Transport Research Institute has been appointed Associate Editor of the Journal of International Transportation Systems (JITS).
Intelligent transportation systems are innovative solutions that address contemporary transportation problems. They are characterized by information, dynamic feedback and automation that allow people and goods to move efficiently. Autonomous and connected vehicles, real-time information for car drivers and public transport passengers, traffic lights reacting to current traffic conditions: these are just a few examples of intelligent systems which are revolutionising they way in which we move now and we will move in the future.
JITS is especially interested in research that leads to improved planning and operation of the transportation system through the application of new technologies. The Journal aims to contribute to the scientific understanding of the impacts that intelligent transportation systems can have on accessibility, congestion, pollution, safety, security, noise, and energy and resource consumption.
A full description of the scope of JITS can be found at http://www.tandfonline.com/action/journalInformation?show=aimsScope&journalCode=gits20.

Winner of the RISE award for Design, Innovation and Creativity
Oct 1, 2019
Summary The RISE Awards are the highlight of the annual Sustainable Ecological Engineering Design for Society (SEEDS) Conference – and this year’s ceremony saw Edinburgh Napier’s Bernardino D'Amico and Francesco Pomponi take home the Design, Innovation & Creativity award!
The RISE awards celebrate talented companies, groups and individuals who are changing the nature of the built environment industry through extensive research, development and innovation.
School of Engineering and the Built Environment colleagues Bernardino and Francesco were recognised for their RAEng-funded research on a holistic approach to post-disaster, post-conflict emergency sheltering. This led to follow-on research, funded through an Industry Academia Partnership Programme, focusing on sustainable materials.Linked Funders Royal Academy of Engineering People Francesco Pomponi
