Although transportation needs vary from country to country, the exchange of research findings and practical experiences can offer considerable benefits worldwide. The main objective of the CETRA conference is to serve as a platform for dialog on important topics in all disciplines of the road and rail sector. One of the main challenges of this conference is to bridge the gap between researchers and professionals involved in the design, construction, maintenance and management of transportation infrastructure. Bridging this gap is particularly important today as sustainable and resilient transportation systems become increasingly important– systems that can minimize environmental impact and adapt to disruptions and changing conditions, including those caused by climate change.
CETRA Conference serves as a platform for a broad blend of scientific and technical papers in the fields of Civil, Transport, Geotechnical, Environmental and Traffic Engineering. Papers considered for publication are original papers that form a contribution to the theory or practice of infrastructure engineering, present state-of-the-art work on topics related to infrastructure, or case studies in which theory is applied to a significant infrastructure problem.
