TRANSPORT of the 21st CENTURY CONFERENCE organized by Warsaw University of Technology Faculty of Transport


On June 9-12, 2019, the International Scientific Conference "Transport of the 21st Century" was held  in Ryn. The aim of the conference was to present the achievements of national and foreign research and scientific centers dealing with the issues of rail, road, air and maritime transport in the technical, technological and organizational aspects as well as the integration of the environment which conducts research and education in the discipline CIVIL ENGINEERING and TRANSPORT.

During the Conference, “Advanced Rail Technologies ART 2019” conference panel took place, organized by the Railway Research Institute and the Faculty of Transport of the Warsaw University of Technology. It covered the following research areas of rail transport: railway traffic, railway operation, rail transport infrastructure, traction and rail vehicles, traffic command control and railway ITC, materials engineering and recycling in transport, organization and technology of rail transport.
