ABOUT US
FACULTY
We are the only Transport Engineering graduate program in the Northern and Northeastern regions of Brazil. We have offered the Master's program since 2000, and we started offering the Doctor's program as of 2011. There are two main fields: Transport Infrastructure and Planning/Operation of Transport Systems.Each area has three lines of research. Each line has several research projects coordinated by PETRAN professors. The various PETRAN researches work and fit according to each project. We currently have 12 professors: 10 permanent and 2 collaborators. The developed researches take place in three research groups: GTEMA, LMP, and LRI. We belong to the Engineering I sub-area and received a grade of 5 in the last CAPES assessment.
