Welcome

ATTAP is jointly initiated by the Office of Traffic and Safety at the Maryland State Highway Administration and the Traffic Safety and Operatiions Laboratory at the University of Maryland - College Park.

The primary focus of the program is to develop and apply advanced technologies in contending with day-to-day congestion and in improving traffic safety in highway networks.

Research projects performed by the program range from basic human behavior study to deployment of real-time control systems for monitoring and guiding emergency evacuations. (Presentations on ATTAP)
