Motto: Innovation Drives Transformation

Transportation Technology and Infrastructure Research Center (TTIRC)

STRATEGIC PLAN

FUTIA will establish TTIRC with the mission of providing long-term solutions to work zone safety-related problems. It will focus on developing highway work zone safety audit guidelines; discovering, developing, and transferring new technologies and measures for improving work zone safety, reducing its negative impacts on private industries and the national economy; and providing work zone safety training and education to the transportation community and public. This Center will be created to serve the need of the School of Management Technology
 

The philosophy behind FUTIA setting up a Transportation Technology and Infrastructure Research Center (TTIRC) is to:

Advance Transportation Knowledge

Pursue cutting-edge research and innovation to address complex transportation challenges and improve the transportation system.

Improve Human Experience

Enhance safety, mobility, accessibility, and quality of life for all users of the transportation system.

Foster Sustainability

Promote environmentally friendly, socially responsible, and economically viable transportation solutions.

Catalyze Collaboration

Bring together academia, industry, government, and stakeholders to share knowledge, resources, and expertise.

Drive Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Encourage the development and deployment of new transportation technologies, products, and services.

Support Economic Growth and Development
