The HiT Intent Created within the University of Houston's College of Engineering, HiT is now the Technology Testbed/Test and Evaluation Division of the Southwest Public Safety Technology Center for the National Institute of Justice.  This division is a consortium that provides support for collaborative research relative to total emergency situational awareness (prevention, detection and management).   This includes four key disciplines: first response, traffic mobility, clean air mitigation and homeland security.

Following are the planned outputs of the Initiative:

First Response Improved e911 and Other Emergency Detection Capabilities Improved Remote Medical (and Associated Ambulatory) Care and Capabilities	Traffic Mobility Improved Mobility and Traffic Control (Vehicular, Air, Cargo Detection, etc.)
Air and other Environmental Improvement Efforts Improved Pollution, Detection, Modeling and Decision-Making Capabilities/Attributes	Homeland Security Detection Systems (Drugs, Nuclear and Other Materials/Weapons) Infrastructure Creation, Protection and Detection Systems (i.e., Intelligent Grout, etc.)
Research Resources Network Lab (for Alpha Testing of Applications) Living Lab (for Beta or Field-Testing of Applications) Standards and Tools Education/Training
Educational Efforts

Please take time to look around, see where we stand to date.

In association with the Greater Houston Partnership (GHP).
