  • Abstract:
    Introduction: The Midwest Transportation Consortium (MTC) recently completed its sixth year of ; operation. The MTC has become an established portion of the research and educational ; programs at ISU and its partner universities. The MTC continues to emphasize its ; primary focus of developing human capital. For example, this semester, Fall, 2005, ISU ; has graduate scholars in its educational program. However, we also recognize that the ; federal grant is an opportunity to build programs at our respective universities that ; continue after the U.S. DOT UTCP may end. An example of building a long lasting ; program is the University of Missouri – St. Louis’ (UMSL) and its development of a ; transportation Ph.D. program in their business college. Admittedly, this program could ; have been started regardless, but Dr. Ray Mundy, Director of UMSL’s Transportation ; Scholars Program, believes that the MTC support of the transportation educational ; program at UMSL was the essential component in establishing a Ph.D. program. ; At ISU, the MTC has been instrumental in establishing two research and outreach ; programs, and both have themes that are related to the MTC’s theme of “Transportation ; System Management and Operation.” The Center for Weather Impacts on Mobility and ; Safety (C-WIMS) was recently established, and the Center for Road Infrastructure ; Management and Operations (RIMO) is in the process of being established. The MTC ; has a critical role in establishing each of these two programs. ; As part of the on-going MTC program, we have established an effective network that ; promotes the education of future transportation professionals and the development of new ; knowledge on how to manage transportation infrastructure and services in a more ; sustainable manner. The MTC has a track record of developing outstanding students; ; these students are now becoming leaders in the private sector, government, and academia. ; The MTC has also supported the development of an extensive research portfolio related ; to sustainable transportation asset management. More research projects are in the ; pipeline. Finally, the MTC has dedicated itself to the dissemination of asset management ; research results through an ongoing technology transfer program. This document ; provides a progress for the latest fiscal year of operation of the MTC, which ran from ; October 2004 through September 2005.
