Texas A&M Transportation Institute — Saving Lives, Time and Resources.

Yesterday’s Inventions, Tomorrow’s Innovations
The state of the art — through research — becomes the state of the practice.
While the look and style of writing have certainly evolved over the decades since the inaugural 1965 issue was published, the core goal has remained the same.
In a study, funded annually by the Texas Department of Transportation since 2010, TTI surveyed Texans’ attitudes toward speeding, driving while intoxicated, distracted driving and seat-belt use.
TTI conducted a recent project, Long-Term Central Texas I-35 Improvement Scenarios, to help local stakeholders in the Texas capital identify potential solutions to the looming mobility problem.
The Comprehensive Compaction Monitoring System gives the purchasing agency the confidence of getting a quality mat and that every precaution has been taken to make sure the asphalt will last.
If we think of transportation as another utility service, does it make sense to consider basing the charge in the same way — according to how much we actually use?
TTI researchers joined nearly 12,000 attendees from around the world at the 93rd annual meeting of the National Academies’ Transportation Research Board.
It’s the best of both worlds as TTI and the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute join forces in redefining transportation for a connected and automated world.
