WHAT WE DO
The CATT Laboratory was originally established in 2002 as an academic applied research and development laboratory. The mission of the lab is to support national, state, and local efforts to provide safe and efficient transportation systems through improved operations and management by means of research and development, technology implementation, training, and education. The CATT Lab’s research and development activities provide a bridge between the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) community, the information technology community, and other disciplines essential to the successful application of ITS. The CATT Lab specializes in:
- Transportation Data Fusion

The CATT Lab provides its research and design services to both the public and the private sector.
The CATT Laboratory operates three independent data centers with over 12-full racks of primarily Linux database and application servers with hundreds of terabytes of storage capacity. These data centers are used, in part, to collect and archive nearly 60 incoming transportation data feeds from agencies across the country. The CATT Lab is connected to these agencies via the University of Maryland’s high-speed internet backbone and directly connected fiber to multiple state agencies. The CATT Lab serves this data to thousands of researchers, planners, operations specialists and homeland security officials across the country including:
