Laboratory facilities
A Transportation Engineering laboratory is currently in the early planning phase.
This lab will contain software and hardware to support research in the general area
of traffic operations. The lab will also be incorporated into upper level undergraduate
courses and graduate courses in transportation to provide students with hands-on
experience with traffic operations equipment and software. Specifically, the lab
is anticipated to contain software and hardware to simulate traffic signal operations,
capability to monitor traffic operations around Columbia in real-time, and equipment
to collect many types of transportation-related field data.
