Transport and Roads
The division of Transport & Roads is a part of the Department of Technology and Society at LTH, Lund University. Traffic Engineering (sw. Trafikteknik) was one of the original departments at the Faculty of Engineering, LTH, only to be merged with other two departments into Technology and Society in the beginning of 2000s.
For over 60 years, it has been a working place for many great researchers and teachers, not least the professors Stig Nordqvist (1966–1968), Gösta Lindhagen (1971–1993), Bengt Holmberg, Christer Hydén, Agneta Ståhl and Andras Varhelyi.
At the moment, the division is one of the leading centra, nationally and internationally, in research and education within the subjects of road construction, transport planning, mobility, public transport, walking and cycling, traffic safety and social equity on transportation. Recently, the division expanded with a new a group on railway operations.
