Luigi dell'Olio is an Italian civil engineer and academic. He is a full professor of Transport Engineering at the University of Cantabria in Santander, Spain, where he heads the Sustainable Mobility & Railways Engineering Research Group (SUMLAB).[2][3]

Early life and education

Dell'Olio graduated in civil engineering (transport specialisation) from the Polytechnic University of Bari in 2001 and obtained a master's degree in safety engineering the following year.[1] He received a Ph.D. in civil and industrial engineering from the University of Burgos in 2005; his dissertation dealt with optimising public-transport networks.[1]

Academic career

After short research appointments in Bari, Burgos and Santander, dell'Olio joined the University of Cantabria's School of Civil Engineering as a lecturer in 2007.[4] He became associate professor in 2009 and full professor in 2018.[3] From November 2020 to November 2022 he served as vice-rector for research and knowledge transfer,[4][5] and he returned to that portfolio in February 2025 under the incoming rector's team.[6] Dell'Olio's work integrates stated-preference surveys, discrete-choice modelling and mathematical optimisation to inform transport policy. His 2006 article "A Bi-Level Mathematical Programming Model for Locating Bus Stops and Optimizing Frequencies" was among the first to apply bi-level optimisation to the joint design of bus-stop spacing and service frequencies.[7] Recent projects from SUMLAB explore airport choice in multi-airport regions, the environmental rebound effects of automated vehicles and the "X-minute city" concept for active mobility.[8]

Professional service

Dell'Olio coordinates SUMLAB and has served on the editorial boards of journals such as Transportation Research Part A and Transport Policy.[8] He has advised regional transport authorities in Spain and Italy.[3]
