BRIEF HISTORY

Institute for the Study and Promotion of Transport (1961 .- 1972.)

The Institute was established by the Council of Transport Engineering Faculty of 6 April 1961. After the adoption and the adoption of the Statute of the Faculty of Transportation, 16 March 1967th The Rules of the tasks, organization of the Bureau, 23 januara 1969. year, exactly a given task of the Institute: naučnoistražvačke performing activities in transport, both within the Faculty, and for other legal and natural persons.

Institute of Transport and Traffic Engineering (1972. -)

Since 1972. The Faculty of the unit changed its name to the current Institute of Transportation University.

Since its establishment, the Institute of Transport Engineering Faculty has made a significant contribution to the development of science and profession in the field of traffic and transport, along with the processed more than 1,700 studies and projects, expertise, expertises et al.Among these are studies of strategic character and important for the development of the transport system of the country and for certain types of transport and traffic studies and economic feasibility for major infrastructure projects in railways and roads that are credited to the World Bank in Washington and the European Investment Bank in former Yugoslavia. The Institute is a holder of a strategic research project in the field of transport, technological and innovation projects funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology of Serbia.
