The Advanced Transportation Research and Engineering
Laboratory (ATREL) is a unique and comprehensive transportation research,
educational, and testing laboratory within the Department of Civil
and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). The laboratory complex is located on
47 acres just 15 miles north of the UIUC Campus. The complex includes
60,000 square feet of laboratories, continuing education classrooms,
office space, a technical library, and a computer facility. ATREL’s
goal is to provide high quality education and research in the
area of transportation and to advance the state-of-knowledge by
developing innovative, economical, and reliable technologies for
airport, highway, and rail systems. To sustain our leadership,
current research projects range from basic science and theoretical
research to full-scale field-testing and evaluation of pavement,
railroad, and transportation systems. The outcomes of our research
efforts are producing top quality graduates and disseminating our
research findings nationally and internationally.
