1 September 2016 → 1 September 2026
Prof. Dr. Constantinos Antoniou
Happy anniversary, from all of us who learned, published, argued and grew here. Thank you.
Chair of Transportation Systems Engineering · TUM
We opened our doors in Garching on 1 September 2016. This is what we built.
What we publish
Roughly one a week, for ten years.
Year by year
What it is worth
How we work
Micro and mesoscopic simulation · SUMO, VISUM, MATSim, SimMobility, Aimsun · graph neural networks and transfer learning
Offline and online calibration of noisy, large-scale models · W-SPSA, PCA-GLS, PCA-EKF, PC-SPSA
Driving simulator and eye tracking · one of the largest naturalistic driving datasets, via i-DREAMS · acceptance of new modes
Data-driven models of driving behaviour and traffic dynamics · interpretable, transferable prediction
Underneath all four: statistics and machine learning, discrete choice, simulation, optimisation. 65+ research topics, 90+ journals.
What we are known for
citations for one review of shared autonomous vehicle services, written here by a doctoral researcher. Our most-read paper.
citations across four papers on who would fly, where, and what it saves. Among the most-cited UAM demand work worldwide.
works on road safety since 2016, plus machine-learning forecasting and crash prediction that each passed 100 citations.
The papers behind it
What funds it
One of the largest naturalistic driving data collections, with Hasselt and 12 partners
Health and environmental impacts of transport pollution in Copenhagen, Milan and Zurich
Resilient, energy-efficient transport under climate, pandemic and geopolitical disruption
Collaborative Research Centre with TU Dresden, TU Berlin, TU Braunschweig and DLR; TSE leads two subprojects
Three waves of funded projects
Where the funding comes from
Who we are
Where our alumni went
Teal: faculty positions. Coral: industry. Plain: public sector and research.
Who came to us
What we teach
Bachelor, master and doctoral level, in English and German. Two master's programmes directed: Transportation Systems at TUM, Rail Transport and Logistics at TUM Asia.
Who we work with
Our closest partners are where our alumni now teach.
What we hosted
7th hEART Symposium, with NTUA
International Scientific Conference on Mobility and Transport
7th conference on Models and Technologies for ITS
13th hEART Symposium, with the Chair of Traffic Engineering and Control
26th International Symposium on Transportation and Traffic Theory, with the Chair of Traffic Engineering and Control
What we edit
Since 2025, with Anming Zhang; Associate Editor before that. Plus boards of TR Part C, Accident Analysis & Prevention and Communications in Transportation Research.
Ten years, year by year
The next decade
Geometric deep learning that transfers between cities and learns from live data: traffic management, resilience, demand prediction.
How people adapt under extreme events; networks that anticipate and recover from disruption.
Mixed traffic, connected infrastructure, safety first. Our own smartphone app, from VOTAVI, to measure behavioural response to AVs.
Data-driven emission models for cities and freight; zero-shot transfer to estimate traffic and emissions where data is scarce.
Carried by i-TRAUM, AgiMo, PROMETHEUS, SEE-FAr, SCUDO, MI-TRAP, VOTAVI and AUTOSUP.
Thank you
To everyone who studied, researched, partnered and argued with us these ten years: thank you for building this with us.
