T-SLOTS: Transport, Mobility and Logistics

Welcome to the website of T-SLOTS: Twente Smart Logistics and Transport solutions. T-SLOTS is a bottom-up initiative from researchers within the University of Twente active in the fields of mobility, logistics and optimalization. Dedicated to the entrepreneurial high-tech human touch focus of the UT, T-SLOTS aims to be cross-disciplinary. Four out of the five faculties are involved and are jointly working on the developments and challenges of the fields of Twente Smart Logistics and Transport solutions.
