Giulio Erberto CANTARELLA | Curriculum

Giulio Erberto Cantarella (born in Salerno on April 16th, 1957), was awarded a Civil Engineering degree in Transportation on July 26th 1980 by  the School of Engineering of the University of Naples Federico II; on November 1st 1994 appointed full professor in Transportation Systems, and awarded tenure on November 1st 1997; since November 1st 1999, is at the School of Engineering of the University of Salerno. From 1992 to 1994, he was associate professor. From 1990 to 1992, he was a researcher. From 1987 to 1990, he was a fixed-term lecturer. From 1980 to 1987, collaborated on numerous research projects.

Research activity has been focused on the development of methods for transportation system analysis and urban network traffic management, the main topics are:

- models and algorithms for travel demand assignment to congested transportation networks, under stationary conditions or with day-to-day or within-day dynamics;
- methods for transportation network design both with discrete (connections) and continuous (capacity) variables (with applications to urban road networks);
- choice modelling for transportation system users through models derived from random utility theory or with fuzzy utility, or regressive ANN models (with applications to passenger demand, say mode or path choice);- methods for urban network traffic monitoring and control;

- macro- or micro- scopic models for transportation terminal analysis;
- methods for transit system programming, regarding main service features, such as fare, capacity, etc., aimed at service planning.

The results of his research, carried out within national and international research projects (MURST-PRIN, FARB, MURST40%, MURST60%, PFT-CNR, PFT2-CNR, AGENSUD, ROMETHEUS-EU, DRIVE II-EU, 4thFW-EU), have been presented in several papers, in national and international journals and books and/or presented at national and international conferences.

Within this activity, he has developed productive relationships with several national and foreign research group, and has acted as referee for national and international journals as well as member of scientific and organizing committees.
From 2012, he is an associate editor of Transportation Research part C.
From 1998 to 2004, and again from 2007 he is a member of the Innovative Methods Programme Committee of the Europe Transport Conference;
From 1994 to 2002, he was a member of the International Editorial Board of Civil Engineering Systems.
