Transportation Faculty at Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech’s transportation-related programs are nationally recognized. Georgia Tech is the largest producer of engineers in the country, and is ranked as the fourth best engineering university in the nation (second best public university for engineering). Georgia Tech’s Civil and Environmental Engineering area is ranked #4, Industrial and Systems Engineering/Logistics area is ranked #1, City Planning is ranked #2 and Aeronautical Engineering is ranked #2. The diversity and strength of these programs provide students with the unique opportunity to specialize in many areas.
Recent research in environmental impacts, freight planning, intermodal transportation, geographic information systems, intersection operations, modal emissions modeling, infrastructure/asset management, traffic flow theory and travel behavior analysis reflect the range of research conducted by transportation researchers. The faculty expects the graduates of the program to be well educated on the latest concepts and ideas in the transportation community.
This page provides information on the core transportation faculty in the Civil Engineering – Transportation Systems group as well as information on faculty representatives from affiliate programs in City and Regional Planning, Computer Science, Economics, Industrial and Systems Engineering, and Public Policy.
