Research Overview
MATC will make fundamental advancements in basic and theoretical research related to improving the safety of and minimizing the risk to the U.S. surface transportation system. Appropriate transportation agencies will use these findings to enhance accessibility and mobility for all components of the multi-modal surface transportation system. Specifically, MATC’s research portfolio will seek to:
- improve linkages among all modes of the transportation system;
- improve the livability of our rural and urban environments;
- develop a systems-based approach for quantifying infrastructure, financial, and operating risks that can be utilized by all transportation agencies; and
- increase the overall safety of the surface transportation system users.
