Today, public and private sectors nationwide look to the group to conduct research and provide solutions for surface and air issues including:
- Transportation Policy;
- Traffic Operations;
- Microscopic Traffic Simulation;
- Visually Impaired Pedestrians;
- Emergency Evacuation;
- Airspace System Management (ITRE'S NGAT Center in Planning)
- Economic Impact Assessment;
- Work Zone Safety;
- Road Maintenance Operations;
- Career Development Training; and
- Professional Engineering Review.
Staff also provide job-specific training and education for transportation professionals at every level along with supplementary reference materials. Public and private sector groups should take advantage of our technical assistance opportunities.
