Institute’s Goals The Institute constitutes a center for research activity of the staff members from the different academic units whose activity is in the wide spectrum of transportation research. This Institute constitutes a framework for research collaboration in the fields of transportation engineering, prevents duplications and establishes conditions for cross-fertilization among researchers. The Institute assists in directing and coordinating of the activity in this subject at the Technion in order to initiate cooperative research projects for civil engineering, architecture and town planning, industrial engineering and management, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, agricultural engineering and other fields of transportation engineering. The Institute maintains relationship with economic and industrial entities in the country and initiates projects of economic and industrial potential. The Institute works in collaboration with all faculties and interested units from the Technion that deal with research which has direct or indirect implications for the subject.
The Institute performs basic and useful research in the transportation fields, and encourages research projects that demand knowledge in related fields such as civil engineering, architecture and town planning, industrial engineering and management, mechanical engineering etc. Researches with practical intentions are conducted with the participation of researchers from economic and industrial sectors, and industrial consulting is given with a possibility of using the Institute’s laboratories for guest researchers from the industry. The Institute encourages cooperation with economic and industrial entities for introducing scientific ideas to transportation matters.
