The Technical University of Crete (TUC) is a small and dynamic university with a clear mission: to expand knowledge and benefit society through research integrated with education. In this endeavour, the pursuit of excellence is the driving force. The unit involved in TRACE is the Dynamic Systems and Simulation Laboratory (DSSL) with profound knowledge and broad experience in the theories of modelling, simulation, optimisation, automatic control, and their practical application to traffic and transportation systems.
