Transportation

Engineering and research in support of next generation transportation

highway with three lanes of cars

A new era of mobility requires specialized expertise to address paradigm shifts in how we travel and move goods. See how we help government agencies in areas like freight efficiency and connected and automated vehicles through transportation safety, operations, and system management. 

 

Connected & Automated Vehicles

We design vehicle solutions that deliver on the promise of advanced mobility: saving lives, reducing congestion, boosting fuel efficiency while reducing environmental impacts and improving sustainability. As a leader in this field, we developed the national standard for infrastructure communications with vehicles.

Our hardware, software, and web-based tools automate conventional vehicles, support innovators in coordinating complex interactions between vehicles and optimize the flow of traffic in response to real-time traffic signals.

Connected Cars

Human Factors Research

Our human factors scientists investigate how all roadway users are affected by practices and advances in transportation. Leidos research applies what we know about people to better design the environments in which they function. This work informs interactions with emerging connected and automated vehicle technologies to improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety.

Human factors

Analysis, Modeling and Simulation

We create virtual worlds in which experts can evaluate new approaches to operating our transportation system. Using advanced visualization methods, our researchers focus on ways to resolve freeway bottlenecks, analyze travel time reliability, develop guidance for traffic simulation and improve the modeling and simulation techniques vital to the introduction of connected and automated vehicles.

Transportation Analysis

Transportation Safety

Our safety professionals work with passion and expertise to help federal, state, and local agencies achieve their vision of zero deaths on our nation’s roadways. Analyses, evaluations, guidance, plans, knowledge transfer and outreach activities help deliver solutions our customers champion to move people and goods safely.

Transportation Safety

Transportation Operations

We leverage extensive engineering expertise and agency experience to help customers operate transportation systems at peak performance. Our support to federal, state, and local agencies advances strategies that help manage congestion, improve reliability, maximize the efficient movement of freight and enhance the mobility of travelers with disabilities.

Transportation Operations

Transportation Asset Management

We facilitate the accessibility of critical data so that state transportation agencies can manage the valuable assets that make up our transportation system. Our work makes relevant, objective, and credible information readily available to drive solid investment decisions based on available resources, current system conditions, maintenance activity and accurate estimates of future maintenance needs.

Transportation Asset Management

e-Construction & Accelerated Construction

Our technical experts operate on the forefront of innovation in the construction of new roads and transportation facilities. We work with the federal government’s advanced e-Construction contract management practices, which speed project progress by taking paper documents out of the way wherever possible.

We train practitioners on the use of prefabricated deck panels and joint connections using ultra-high performance concrete, helping transportation agencies accelerate construction and improve bridge life cycles.

e-Construction & Accelerated Construction

Freight

Whether a project is freight- or mode-specific or is designed to integrate practices or technologies into the larger mobility mix, we help transportation agencies implement solutions that move goods safely and efficiently to support a thriving economy.

Our expertise supports customers’ goal of boosting the speed and reliability of freight movement from dock, runway, railway, plant or warehouse to distribution points and doorsteps worldwide.

Freight

Research Facility Management

We operate some of the most advanced transportation lab facilities in the United States. Our team built and continues to manage the Federal Highway Administration’s Saxton Transportation Operations Lab, conducting state-of-the-art research using a connected vehicle fleet, connected infrastructure and simulation and analysis tools.

Learn about the Saxton Lab

Our operation of FHWA’s human factors laboratories includes tools to evaluate new and existing traffic control devices, two field research vehicles, a driving simulator and a new virtual reality facility.
