Creating innovative engineering solutions and products to provide solutions to major transport challenges that can enhance the performance and extend longevity of transport infrastructure.

 

Solutions to major transport challenges

There are five (5) key research and a speical ‘Young Professionals Engagemment’ themes under theUTS-TRC’s research domain. 

The centre aims to develop and enhance communications and corporations among these research themes. This will help to address future challenges and technological requirements from the transport assets and facilitate construction, manufacturing, monitoring, maintenance and management of transport infrastructure.

  • Geotechnics of Transport Infrastructure - Design, Construction and Materials

    Meeting modern transportation requirements such as interconnectivity, reliability, safety and resilience of infrastructure
