Transportation Lab

The lab is aimed to conduct research work related to simulation and modelling on sustainable transportation planning and management.

Urban Simulation Lab

Urban simulation lab is aimed to simulate visual representation of real time situations, emergency response and future projection of land use planning.

 

All the facilities available in our department have quick and easy access to our students. They also get good supervision from their course teacher and other supportive faculty member in using these facilities and also for their. They can also get high speed internet facility in their respective hall. We are expecting that a seminar room will be developed for our student very soon.
