3 Building on a Strong Legacy Texas Highway Department and Texas A&M research since 1917 Enabled dby 1949 State t Legislation Established in 1950 by First TAMUS Chancellor, Gibb Gilchrist Initially the research arm of the Texas Highway Department strongly supported by Dewitt C. Greer, Texas State Engineer A State Agency A Separate TAMUS Agency

4 A State Agency and Member of The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents Chancellor Presidents Prairie View A&M Tarleton State Texas A&M International Texas A&M TAMU-Central Texas TAMU-Commerce TAMU-Corpus Christi TAMU-Kingsville TAMU-San Antonio TAMU-Texarkana Texas A&M Health Science Center West Texas A&M Vice Chancellor Engineering Texas Engineering Experiment Station Texas Transportation Institute Texas Engineering Extension Service Vice Chancellor Agriculture & Life Sciences Texas AgriLife Research Texas AgriLife Extension Service Forest Service Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory

5 Our vision is to be a premiere highereducation affiliated transportation research institute sought out by organizations from all over the world to solve transportation problems. TTI Mission i To solve transportation problems through h research To transfer technology and knowledge To develop diverse human resources to meet the transportation challenges of tomorrow

11 The Center for International Intelligent Transportation Research TTI El Paso The CIITR was established through the 79th state legislature in September 2005 to conduct research in three areas: border crossings, traffic management and air quality MISSION Conduct innovative research, develop technological solutions, and develop policies that will enhance: Mobility in the El Paso region The efficient, safe and secure movement of people and goods across the US/Mexico border Facilitate implementation of research results and technology transfer Collaborate with local, regional, and state agencies and universities

12 TxDOT District Projects

13 Interstate 10 Corridor Improvement Analysis using a Multi Resolution Simulation Approach Zaragoza/I 10 Interchange experiences extremely high congestion during peak hours Determineif if additional diamond interchanges will help alleviate congestion Pendale Dr Don Haskins

14 Interstate 10 Corridor Improvement Analysis using a Multi Resolution Simulation Approach TTI used a Multi Resolution Modeling (MRM) methodology to analyze traffic conditions in future years Mesoscopic modeldetermine how traffic redistributes given alternative ti routing Microscopic analyze sections at higher level of fidelity

15 Development of Strategic Plan to Deploy ITS on State Highway Corridors in the El Paso County Region Assess expansion of ITS deployments within the region based on future mobility needs; Identify state highway segments without prior ITS deployments and recommend new deployments to manage congestion, incidents etc.; Recommend improvements of existing ITS deployments on state highways; and Assess need for additional physical space and operational staff at TRANSVISTA 15
