The Institute of Logistics and Transport serves as a locus for the scholarly endeavors of doctoral candidates and graduate students within pertinent disciplines. Herein, rigorous scientific inquiries are conducted, yielding findings that are consistently disseminated through publication in diverse scientific journals, both domestic and international in scope. Moreover, the thematic focus of master's theses and doctoral dissertations aligns closely with ongoing projects spearheaded by the Institute, ensuring a cohesive integration of academic research endeavors with practical applications within the realms of logistics and transport studies.

Doctoral candidates from specialized departments at AzTU are currently engaged in research endeavors at the Institute of Logistics and Transport. These efforts are directed towards the preparation of doctoral dissertations in the fields of transportation systems technology (3327.10) and the management of transportation processes (3350.10). To facilitate these scholarly pursuits, doctoral researchers utilize a comprehensive array of indicators and software resources available within the institute's repository.

At the institute, the simulation modeling of logistics and transportation processes is conducted utilizing the AnyLogic 8.7.7 program. Additionally, for both micro and macro-level modeling of urban transportation systems, the PTV VISSIM, VISTRO, and VISUM software package are employed.

The dissertation topics undertaken by graduate students at AzTU specializing in ground vehicle engineering, transportation organization, and transport management are structured around themes aligned with ongoing projects conducted by the institute. These topics are specifically oriented towards addressing production-related challenges through scholarly inquiry and analysis.
