Gianfranco Gagliardi received the master’s degree in automation engineering and the Ph.D. degree in systems and computer engineering from the University of Calabria, Italy, in 2007 and 2011,  respectively. Since 2020, he has been an assistant professor with the University of Calabria. He is currently an active researcher with publications in different journals and international conferences. He also had an active role in many research projects both from academia and the private sector. His research interests include fault detection and isolation strategies, real-time embedded systems, and DSP-based computer vision solutions. He is the co-recipient of the 2023 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC) Best Paper Award.

Vincenzo Gallelli received his MSc in civil engineering and obtained his PhD at the University of Calabria (UNICAL), Italy. Currently, he is an assistant researcher in the Department of Civil Engineering of UNICAL. His position includes research and teaching responsibilities. The research component focuses on road safety (in particular using smartphone sensors), road pavement materials (warm mix asphalts, recycled asphalts, and pavement surface performances), and the analysis of operational and safety performance by using microsimulation tools (especially in roundabout). He is a member of the Catanzaro Association of Professional Engineer and the Italian Society of Road Infrastructures (SIIV). Since September 2018, he has been qualified as a second level professor in the reference insolvency sector 08/A3.

Antonio Violi is an associate professor of "Mathematical Methods for Economics and Finance" at University of Sannio (Italy). His research interests are related to the definition and implementation of decision support tools for critical problems under uncertainty in many application areas. He is the author of more than 50 papers in international journals.
