Welcome to the TransTech Lab

At the TransTech Lab, innovation meets transportation. Established in 2004 as part of the Texas Tech Center for Multidisciplinary Research in Transportation (TechMRT), our lab has been leading the way in advancing traffic safety and operations through emerging roadside LiDAR technology.

Our mission is simple yet powerful: to transform transportation by tackling real-world challenges. From optimizing traffic signal systems and advancing data-driven safety initiatives to developing microscopic simulation models for detailed traffic impact analysis, we harness technology to improve mobility, reduce congestion, and cut emissions.

What sets us apart is our commitment to the next generation of transportation leaders. Students play an active role in our research, gaining hands-on experience as they collaborate on projects that deliver tangible impact.

Together, we're shaping a safer, smarter, and more efficient future for how people and goods move through our communities.
