Transportation Research
The Intelligent Transportation Systems Laboratory website contains details about current and previous research projects, students and activities. We moved into brand new state-of-the-art laboratories and office space in January 2006. PSU is part of the new Oregon Transportation Research and Education Consortium which offers additional research opportunities. Some focus areas of our faculty include:
- Intelligent transportation systems
- Transportation data archiving/mining
- Land use and access relationships
- Transportation safety and security
- Multi-model traveler information
- Traffic flow theory and operations using real time data
- Pricing and auctions in trucking and freight
- Urban distribution systems and the impact of congestion of urban commecial vehicle movements
- Freight data collection issues in urban areas

Research Assistantship Opportunities
We have many opportunities for qualified graduate students. Any of the faculty would be more than glad to answer any questions you might have about the program, the assistantship package we can offer you, and living in Portland. Finally, the transportation group has funding available that could help support a visit to our campus for well qualified graduate students.
