Transportation

The 21st century has brought unprecedented challenges to the transportation industry and demand for transportation has increased dramatically. In the past, the answer would have been to simply build more infrastructure. However, severe financial, environmental and social constraints limit our ability to expand infrastructure.

This convergence of ballooning demand and limited expansion has put enormous pressure on transportation systems, creating issues related to congestion, energy costs, environmental factors and passenger safety. The answer lies in developing a greater understanding of these complex systems for more informed decision making.
