The Transportation Research and Visualization Lab (TRAVL) has been engineered to address modern and future transportation needs by utilizing immersive virtual simulation and human sensing methodologies and technologies.

Transportation needs can be highly complex, spanning multiple disciplines and priorities. To address these needs, TRAVL was developed to merge methodological research practices, foster institutional collaboration, and promote interdisciplinary approaches to transportation research and development.

Methodological

TRAVL utilizes and merges multiple methodological approaches including real-world experimentation, immersive virtual simulation, stated preference feedback, and physiological sensing to comprehensively explore nascent transportation designs, technology, and infrastructure. 

Institutional

Cross-institutional collaboration is paramount for addressing transportation needs and inform policy and decision making. TRAVL aims to foster collaboration between academic research, policy makers, industry workers, and state, local, and federal government.

Interdisciplinary

TRAVL promotes interdisciplinary projects, research, and development including, but not limited to, transportation safety, roadway design, human factors, computer science, software engineering, rehabilitation, clinical research, training, and education.
