Lab at IIT Jammu   

Intelligent Mobility and Sustainable Solutions Lab

The i-MaSS Lab at IIT Jammu works on the behavioral and psychological aspects of traffic in heterogeneous disordered traffic conditions to provide safe and sustainable mobility solutions. The lab achieves its research goals by using intelligent transportation data, such as sensors, lasers, videography, bluetooth, and Wi-Fi data. To complement the digital data-driven outcomes, the research in the lab is also supported by self-reported data from various stakeholders in transportation systems.

We believe that safe and sustainable mobility is a right for every citizen, and therefore, suggesting research-backed policies is also one of the major goals of the lab. The lab aligns with the National Urban Transport policy, with a focus on moving more people than vehicles. The lab, which is home to living and digital mobility-based data of the city, is directed by Dr. Ankit Kathuria, Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering and Humanities and Social Sciences Department. The lab is continuously enhancing its secondary area of research related to asphalt mixes.
