Core competencies
The Department of Security Technologies and Engineering is one of the departments of the Faculty of Transportation
Sciences, conducting education and research in the respective domains throughout whole University. The decision to
establish the department with such cross cutting activities just at the Faculty of Transportation Sciences was based on
the common character of the Faculty covering system view on large systems and territories. The department is
divided into research groups focusing on the areas of:
• Information and telecommunication system security and safety, with special emphasize on cybersecurity and big
data processing methods. All activities are more dedicated to the low level processes and interfaces to the high level
applications;
• Wireless sensor networks, with broad deployment possibilities, covering transportation, environment and security
areas, designed and developed with upcoming Internet of Things in mind
• Vehicles and infrastructure system security and safety, branching into two major areas
o passive, active and integrated safety of vehicles including dynamic studies of vehicle behavior during and before
collision, accompanied by broad experimental background using our own crash test and testing facility;
o interactive security and safety dedicated to the study of interaction of all systems in the vehicle including driver
behavior;
• Critical infrastructure security and safety, that covers risk management and risk engineering, protection of
critical infrastructure, disaster management and critical activities scenarios
• Social studies group, which is oriented to the social impact of emerging security threats, especially in
cyberspace;
• Special project laboratory supporting the work of respective groups with development of specific electronic and
mechanical devices for experimental work while having its own research plan especially in the area of sensors and
sensing elements.
