Prof. Dr. Nikola Bešinović
Nikola Bešinović’s research develops analytics and optimization methodologies to promote efficient, reliable, and sustainable transport systems. His main focus is on railway traffic management systems, where he proposes data-driven decision-making approaches to enhance railway operations, train scheduling and driver behaviour. He is also interested in new resilient transport concepts, determining critical infrastructure and operations, and impacts of increased transport demand on further technological development of railway systems.
Nikola received several scientific awards, including the Young Railway Operations Researcher Award from IAROR, the First Prize at the TRAVISIONS Young Researcher Competition, the Best Student Paper from INFORMS Railway Application Section, and the 3RD Best IEEE ITS Dissertation Award.
