Ali Maher, Ph.D., Director
Rutgers'
Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation (CAIT) is engaged
in research, education, and technology transfer that address every
aspect of transportation and infrastructure. This includes critical
issues such as mobility, congestion, bridge and road health monitoring,
asset management, safety, national security, economics, and
environmental impact.
CAIT is a Tier I University Transportation
Center (UTC), one of 15 academic research institutions sanctioned and
supported by the U.S. Department of Transportation. The center partners
with government, industry, and academia to solve mounting
infrastructure challenges, advance state-of-the-art technologies, and
prepare the next generation of transportation professionals.
Its
location in central New Jersey puts CAIT in the midst of one of the
most densely populated and fastest growing regions in the United
States. Taking advantage of the center's proximity to the nation's most
heavily traveled roadway network, third largest port system, and
busiest rail line, as well as four major international airports, CAIT
researchers use the area as an in situ laboratory and test bed.
Addressing
the broad spectrum of multimodal transportation, CAIT is helping to
meet the need for the safe, efficient, and environmentally sound movement
of people and goods in our nation and beyond.
