K-State University Transportation Center
The University Transportation Center at Kansas State University is a research organization dedicated to bringing together transportation professionals, educators, and researchers to identify transportation problems—and to solving them.
The theme of this Center is The Sustainability and Safety of Rural Transportation Systems and Infrastructure. This theme is selected to complement the mission and direction of Kansas State University and to meet the needs of the Kansas Department of Transportation and the rural transportation community as a whole. Research at Kansas State University’s UTC will also fill a national need, specifically focusing on the sustainability and safety of rural transportation systems and infrastructure in the context of a declining and aging rural population.
Current Projects:
Research proposals related to the center's theme, "The Sustainability and Safety of Rural Transportation and Infrastructure" cover five areas:
- Outreach: National Rural Transportation Symposium
- Rural Transportation Safety
- Intelligence, Knowledge, and Information Systems in Transportation
- Advanced Modeling of Pavement and Subgrade Systems
- Infrastructure Preservation/Renovation
