Digital Mobility Lab

Based in Naples, Italy, the Digital Mobility Lab is a research laboratory within the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering at the University of Naples Federico II.

The Lab is co-directed by Vincenzo Punzo and Marcello Montanino.

We combine traffic-flow theory, data analysis, modelling and simulation to study road, rail and multimodal transport systems.

Research areas

  • Connected, cooperative and automated mobility
  • Human driving behaviour and traffic-flow modelling
  • Digitalisation and automation of railway operations
  • Electrified mobility and energy-consumption modelling
  • Mobility as a Service and multimodal transport
  • Traffic and network management

Our work develops models, methods and research tools for safer, more efficient and more sustainable mobility.
