Francesca Pagliara is Associate Professor in Transport Engineering at the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering of the University of Naples Federico II. She has been Visiting Professor at several European and non-European Universities and has participated in several research projects. Her main fields of research are the wider socio-economic impacts of high-speed rail systems, the analysis and quantification of the impact of the transportation system on the tourism market, public engagement in the transportation decision-making process, Transit Oriented Development Policies and Integrated Land-use/Transport models. She is currently Adjunct Professor at the International Railway Transportation Research Center of Silk Road of the Beijing Jiaotong University. She is author of academic books and of more than 100 papers. Massimo Aria is Full Professor in Statistics for Social Sciences in the Department of Economics and Statistics at the University of Naples Federico II and has a Ph.D. in Computational Statistics. His main research fields are bibliometrics, science mapping, systematic literature reviews, statistical survey, and machine learning. He led several statistical surveys and data science projects in the economic, social, tourism, and healthcare fields. Massimo Aria is the author of over 100 scientific articles published in international journals and co-author of the Bibliometrix R-Package and its Biblioshiny web app which are considered the most complete and user-friendly science mapping software. Filomena Mauriello is an Assistant Professor at the University of Naples Federico II. She obtained two PhDs, the first in ""Engineering of hydraulic transport and territorial systems"", the second in ""Computational statistics."" Her research focuses on Road Safety, regarding two main areas: study of drivers' behavior by analyzing the continuous driving profiles obtained through experiments in the simulated field or the real field; and analysis of road accidents through econometric and machine learning techniques. Recently, her research focused on the study of vulnerable users, such as pedestrians, motorcyclists and cyclists.
