    FACULTY OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING, COMPUTER SCIENCE AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY OSIJEK Dean’s foreword The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology Osijek is a mod- ern faculty that has constantly been developing in all areas of its expertise. The educational process consists of three levels with study programmes being continually upgraded and harmonised with recent scientific discoveries and economy needs. Scientific research is essential for the development of the Faculty. The Faculty actively participates in numerous domestic and international consortia used by the Faculty’s established research groups for conducting successful scientific research. The Faculty’s research groups have participated in nu- merous domestic and European projects as either heads or associates. Cooperation with the economy, encouragement of entrepreneurship and transfer of knowledge and technologies are fundamental indicators of the Faculty’s development. The Faculty successfully cooperates with the most important companies in the fields of electrical engineering, computer engineering and information and communication technologies. Cooperation with the economy has been supported by professional and development projects and research studies. Furthermore, do- ing their practical work, bachelor and master theses, students have gradually been prepared for the job market and solving real engineering problems. Undoubtedly, powerful faculties and universities are imperatives for the society’s development. In- formation and communication technology, electrical and computer engineering providing addi- tional values for new products and services represent strategic priorities for the development of modern economies. Hence, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology Osijek continues to successfully fulfil its mission – provision of support for knowledge and technology-based economy.

Silobrčić4 1National and University Library Zagreb, Croatia 2Faculty of Mechanical Engineering & Naval Architecture – University of Zagreb Zagreb, Croatia 3Faculty of Science – University of Zagreb Zagreb, Croatia 4Zagreb, Croatia Regular paper Received: 17 August, 2005. Accepted: 6 December, 2005. SUMMARY The paper aims at assessing the research output of scientists working in “hard sciences” at six Croatian Univeristies (Dubrovnik, Osijek, Rijeka, Split, Zadar and Zagreb). The data obtained may serve as the starting point for further follow-up and in-depth studies of research performance at Croatian universities. This can be particularly relevant for implementation of the Bologna Process in Croatia. The methodology of the Academic Ranking of World Universities (2004) was applied (http://ed.sjtu.edu.cn/rank/2004/Methodology.htm). The number of papers published from 1996 to 2004, registered in the WoS-Science Citation Index-Expanded, authored by scientists from the six Croatian universities, was enumerated. Also, highly cited authors, authors of articles published in Nature and Science, Nobel Prize and Fields Medal winners were sought among these scientists. It was found that scientists at the Croatian universities produced 7527 of the total of 11068 articles authored by Croatian scientists. Of the six universities, the University of Zagreb was more productive than the remaining five. There were no highly cited authors, Nobel Laureates or Fields Medal winners from Croatia. One of 14 authors of an article in Science was from a Croatian university.

It was found that scientists at the Croatian Universities produced 7527 of the total of 11068 articles authored by Croatian scientists.

    Energy Efficiency of Tram Transport in the City of Osijek Case Study Hrvoje Glavaš J. J. Strossmayer University of Osijek, Faculty of Electrical Engineering Kneza Trpimira bb, Osijek, Croatia [email protected] Milan Ivanović Panon – Think-tank for Strategic Studies Osijek, Croatia [email protected] Abstract – In the city of Osijek, tram transport started long before it was introduced in many European and world cities. This paper presents the ways to increase tram traffic energy efficiency in the city of Osijek. The tram transportation system as an urban way of traffic as well as plans for further development are described. Energy efficiency indicators are presented based on electricity consumption and the number of passengers in the past decade. The tram transport system is compared with other forms of public transport in the city of Osijek. An increase in energy efficiency in the sector of urban transport is proved based on the presented data. Keywords – Electricity Consumption; Energy Efficiency; Public Transport; Tram 1.
