About us
CRiMM (Research Centre for Mobility Modelling) affiliated with the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Cagliari, was established in 1996 as a joint initiative between researchers in transportation and land planning, The Centre’s mission is to promote and strengthen research on transportation and mobility, with a strong focus on economic, social and environmental sustainability and on the integration of economic development, sustainable land use and transport supply and demand. In-depth research comprises advanced passenger and freight transport demand forecasting and simulation techniques, analyses of travel behaviour, of the propensity to use sustainable travel modes, of actual and perceived safety, of the man-machine interaction using simulation laboratories, of the role of information systems and decision support tools in the integrated economic transport-land-use-environment system.
CRiMM’s primary objective is to further knowledge and improve control of the phenomena involved in transport supply and demand in an effort to gain a deeper understanding of the problems involved, to remove the causes of those problems and to identify actions and interventions for the functional design of transportation and mobility systems.
Our Centre has acted as consultant to the Autonomous Government of Sardinia for the regional master transportation plan. It also promotes research projects and studies at the national and international level collaborating with public authorities, private organizations and research centres, creating new training opportunities for young researchers and professionals.
The Director of CRiMM is Prof. Italo Meloni, Professor of Transportation Planning at the University of Cagliari
