Driving the Future of Surface Transportation

Technology is redefining surface transportation. MITRE is working to enable transportation innovations and their benefits, while keeping safety and security front and center.

The automation of our vehicles is increasing. New modes of transportation are coming on the scene. Meanwhile, cybersecurity threats to our transportation system are intensifying.

MITRE’s multi-pronged research is accelerating the integration of transportation innovations. At the same time, we’re addressing the new safety and security challenges they bring.

A primary focus is improving safety on our roadways.

As automated emergency braking, lane management, forwardcollision warning systems, and other automated driver assistance systems become more common on the roads, we’re studying how they perform in the real world. We’ve partnered with government and auto manufacturers to make that possible.
