Pioneering Research
At TraCR, our goal is to continuously study the fast-moving world of Transportation Cyber Physical Systems (TCPS) cybersecurity and identify challenges and threats as they appear across transportation modes, geographies, and applications. Our work runs the gamut from fundamental research to creating ready-to-deploy and cost-effective products, procedures, and policies that are analyzed to ensure their benefits far exceed their costs. Many of these will be tested at existing testbeds at our member institutions, piloted in the communities in which we are embedded, and diffused using our proven technology transfer (TT) expertise.
