Centre for Advanced Transportation Technology and Systems

  • The Indian Academy of Highway Engineers (IAHE), under the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MORTH), has signed an Agreement with University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia for setting up a Centre for Advanced Transportation Technology and Systems (CATTS) at IAHE, Noida.
  • The Agreement is for a project for capacity building, technology transfer and creation of enabling environment for establishment of CATTS in IAHE.
  • The UNSW will also deliver a course, certified by it, on smart transport systems and modelling.

Scope of CATTS:

  • Building India specific Macro Model (Computable Equilibrium Model) for entire Nation Highway network and in-principle National Highways by UNSW, including coding of simulation software, calibration & validation and scenario analysis.
  • Building India specific Urban Pervasive Data Model for City by UNSW including coding of simulation software, calibration & validation and scenario analysis.
  • A course certified by UNSW on smart transportation systems and modelling will be delivered by UNSW in the form of three workshops in India and three workshops in Australia.
  • Each of the workshops will be of five days’ duration and 40 participants will be allowed to participate.

Benefits:

  • help to improve the road safety scenario in the country.
  • promote industries and startups from Australia and India in the transportation sector
  • opportunities for innovation, research and development of advanced transport systems.

Indian Academy of Highway Engineers (IAHE):

  • IAHE is the premier institute for pooling of experience and sharing of knowledge on entire range of subjects involving management of highways.
  • It was created by Ministry for Road Transport & Highways in 1983.
  • It is located in NOIDA (Uttar Pradesh).
  • The YS Malik Committee report says, there is need to improve existing training infrastructure, content and training methodology, establish linkages with world-renowned international institutes and carry out applied research & related works.
