Mission

Innovative Mobility Research (IMR), a group of projects based at the Transportation Sustainability Research Center (TSRC), supports the goals of enhanced mobility by designing active research in real-world settings to evaluate technologies and services that could improve transportation systems. The goal of this research is to help industry, policymakers, investors, and innovators gain crucial early information about innovative technologies and ideas. IMR specializes in designing custom programs to test emerging mobility technologies and concepts and in executing comprehensive, state-of-the-art evaluations to understand these services and technologies, their social/environmental impacts and user interfaces, and business models. The integration of technologies and novel concepts to yield benefits and cost-effective mobility solutions is central to IMR projects.
