Connecting operational topics
with scientific research


ITS Edulab is the Dutch traffic and transport laboratory for students. In ITS Edulab students from the Delft University of Technology solve traffic related issues with short term research for Rijkswaterstaat, the Dutch motorway operator. In this way the institute connects real-life, operational topics with scientific research. Read more about ITS Edulab…
