New Weather Center
Tom Maze, professor of transportation engineering, will direct a new research center focused on finding better and safer ways to travel whenever weather is a problem.
The center’s goal is to get scientists and engineers working together for a better understanding of how weather impacts transportation systems. That can lead to better ways to maintain roads, design infrastructure, share information, and manage ransportation systems.
“Reducing the economic and human losses due to weather-related crashes provides an opportunity to positively impact Iowans and Iowa’s economy,” says the proposal to establish the Center for Weather Impacts on Mobility and Safety (CWIMS) at Iowa State’s Center for Transportation Research and Education (CTRE). The center could also have a national impact.
