Abstract:In October 2009, the Midwest Transportation Consortium (MTC) began its third year
as a Tier I University Transportation Center (UTC). Its theme, “Transportation Safety
through Improvements in Management Information Systems,” reflects our strong
emphasis on safety.
The MTC is composed of Iowa’s three Regent universities: lead organization Iowa
State University (ISU), the University of Iowa (Iowa), and the University of Northern
Iowa (UNI). Located in a largely rural region, the MTC generally focuses its activities
on intercity/rural traffic safety for motor vehicles.
All three universities conduct traffic safety research, each within a specific niche:
• ISU – Crash statistics and analysis to support safety in the design and operations
of roadways
• Iowa – Human factors to improve safety
• UNI – Geographic information systems (GIS) and statistical tools to conduct
safety analyses
