Su appuntamento da prendere tramite e-mail adriano.alessandrini@unifi.it
Ingegnere meccanico e dottore di ricerca in energetica Adriano Alessandrini è attualmente professore associato di trasporti presso l'Università degli studi di Firenze. Dal 1998 ha partecipato a più di 30 progetti di ricerca, tra cui il progetto di fondazione del Centro per il Trasporto e la Logistica dell'Università degli Studi di Roma La Sapienza (CTL) riconosciuto come centro di eccellenza nel 2003 da parte del Ministero della ricerca.
I suoi principali interessi di ricerca sono l'impatto ambientale dei veicoli (e conducenti) e i sistemi di trasporto innovativi. CityMobil2, la più grande iniziativa europea sui sistemi di trasporto su strada completamente automatizzati, che Adriano ha ideato e coordinato, ha fatto di lui uno degli scienziati più visibili nel settore dei veicoli stradali automatizzati generando richieste di partecipazione a convegni e tavole rotonde ad alto livello in tutto il mondo.
Per la sua visione di una nuova società generata dal trasporto automatizzato è stato selezionato due volte (2014 e 2016) nella shortlist del premio Champion of EU Transport Research. Gli viene chiesto regolarmente di essere un valutatore per la Commissione Europea (e la sua agenzia INEA) per proposte di ricerca, innovazione e infrastrutture, nonché per valutare i progetti. Nel 2015 ha servito su richiesta del Presidente degli Stati Uniti come valutatore per The National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP).
Legenda
Mechanical engineer with PhD in energy technologies Adriano Alessandrini (MAle) is currently associate professor of transportation (ICAR-05) at the University of Florence. Since 1998 he has participated in more than 30 research projects, including the founding project of the Centre for Transport and Logistics of the university of Rome La Sapienza (CTL) recognized as an Italian excellence centre in 2003 by the Ministry.
His main research interests are the environmental impact of vehicles (and drivers) and automated transport systems. CityMobil2, the largest European initiative on fully automated road transport systems which he coordinates, made him one of the most visible scientists in the automated road vehicle sector generating speaking requests and participation to high level round-tables and committees.
He was asked to hold lectures in Princeton at the Technical University of Delft and at the DG MOVE of the European Commission.
He was invited several times as plenary speaker at the Annual TRB meeting at the TRB summer meeting on Raod Vehicle Automation and at technical sessions of ITS world congresses.
In 2015 he was selected to be one of the 25 scientists representing Europe at the EU-US Automation symposium in Washington in April 2015.
European Commission, US DoT and Japanese MLIT have established a Trilateral working group on ART (Automated Road Transport) the group has several thematic sub-groups, and he co-chairs (with Mohammed Yousuf of US FHWA and Masayuki Kawamoto of Toyota Japan) the sub-working group on accessibility and is an active member of the one on Evaluation of Benefits.
For his vision of a new society generated by automated transport he was shortlisted twice 2014 and 2016 for the EU Champion of Transport Research prize.
He is regularly asked to be an evaluator for the European Commission (and its INEA agency) for research, innovation and infrastructural proposals as well as to evaluate projects.
In 2015 he served upon request the President of the United States as Evaluator for The National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP).
