Today’s Forecast: More Rain — TTI Hydraulics, Sedimentation and Erosion Control Laboratory Expands
The science of simulating rainfall is more complicated than you might think. Simulated raindrops need to be the right shape and velocity in order to produce the same effect as the real thing. And getting as close to the real thing as possible — in a controlled environment where results can be reproduced — is an important part of the Texas A&M Transportation Institute’s (TTI’s) Hydraulics, Sedimentation and Erosion Control Laboratory (HSECL) — a facility that will soon be expanding.

Environment and Air Quality
The Environment and Air Quality Division of TTI consists of three programs:
The researchers at the Air Quality Program focus on transportation-related air quality and allied considerations, covering a range of topics such as mobile source emissions (including greenhouse gases), transportation sustainability, energy and climate change.
Research in the Environment and Planning Program involves identifying, analyzing, and developing solutions for sustainable roadsides.
The Transportation Modeling group gives sponsors the information they need to achieve compliance with federal clean air standards.
