TRANSVER was founded in 1995 with the aim of implementing scientific innovations in the field of traffic engineering and traffic planning in practice.

The highly qualified team of traffic and software engineers continually extend the wide range of TRANSVER procedures and software products. New quantitative models and methods for the detection, examination and evaluation of traffic data for the design, control and optimisation of traffic facility are employed.

TRE-ALTAMIRA is the largest InSAR group worldwide. With over 15 years of experience, it is globally recognised as the world leader in measuring ground displacement with millimetric precision using satellite radar data for a variety of sectors. For the Transport industry ground motion studies using InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) technology provide crucial information to detect displacement related to infrastructure projects and can be implemented during all stages, from planning through to construction and maintenance.

 Radar imagery processing is the core competence of TRE-ALTAMIRA. Its team’s excellent and current knowledge of InSAR is the key to its success and growth in both commercial contracts and publicly funded projects. TRE-ALTAMIRA is a CLS group company with offices in Milan, Barcelona and Vancouver.

The University of Coimbra was founded in 1290 and constitutes a reference in higher education and scientific research in Portugal, with excellent academic reputation recognized worldwide. It includes 8 faculties and 32 research centres, providing teaching and conducting research in almost all study fields - Exact Sciences and Engineering, Life Sciences, Architecture, Medicine,  Social Sciences, Humanities and Sports - , as well as several structures devoted to promote science and technology, culture and sports.

The University of Coimbra has a strong internationalisation as the result of the constant arrival of students, professors and researchers of different cultural backgrounds from all around the world. Aware of the complexity and challenges of multilateral co-operation, the University actively promotes scientific/pedagogic networking by supporting the foundation of important European networks, such as “the Coimbra Group” (38 partner universities) and the Utrecht Network (31 partner universities), in both of which the UC plays an important role. Knowing the importance of such links, the UC also became a founding member of the University Transnational Network [Pólo Transfronteiriço] (13 partner universities) and more recently, the Tordesillas Group (38 partner universities). The UC is also member of CUM [Communauté des Universités du Mediterrané] (160 partner universities), of the SYLFF Network (88 partner universities) and of ERA-More - European Network of Mobility Centres (190 centres in 32 countries).  As for research, the University is currently involved in 367 national projects and 120 international research projects.

The Transport Systems Laboratory of the University of Piraeus has been actively involved in the shipping and transport industry research. The TSL team  has coordinated and/or actively led flagship projects of the European Commission including PROPS, eFreight, eMAR, Contain, SUPPORT, MEDITA, TRAINMOS-II, and has also worked in a series of relevant European projects related to maritime, mobile communications, satellite communications, e-Business, e-Government, Shipping & Transport digital applications.
