Transform
In a new era of mixed modes of transportation that includes everything from unmanned urban air mobility to autonomous vehicles, there is an urgent need to improve the adaptive capacity of legacy transportation systems management and operations. At our core, we are dedicated to researching cyber-enabled solutions that empower predictive intelligence through both curiosity-driven and use-infused research at the forefront of the new mixed mobility transportation construction management. Our vision is to transform how we construct, work, and travel, promising a brighter and more efficient future for the next generation.
