Technology Transfer & Deployment
Safety21 follows our innovative Research & Development & Deployment (R&D&D) model, ensuring technologies transition from research to real-world impact. Safety21’s R&D&D model has been recognized nationally for its success in economic impact, job creation, and addressing real-world problems.
Sector Crossing Initiatives
National Safety Summit
Every year, the National Safety Summit convenes national transportation leaders representing government, community, and industry needs along with University Transportation Center faculty and students doing mobility research. The goal is for UTC research to continue addressing real-world transportation safety.
Deployment Partner Consortium & Annual Meetings
These annual meetings invite our deployment partners to not only hear from others on deployment success, but also to think about the problems that keep them up at night. We develop a collaborative atmosphere where Deployment Partner Consortium members and researchers discuss R&D&D opportunities.
Onboard New Deployment Partner Transportation Professionals
Safety21 also works to help onboard new deployment partner transportation professionals. Safety21 regularly hosts professionals on campus for an overview of the UTC and its activities, meetings with researchers and tours of UTC labs.
