KSCSTE – National Transportation Planning and Research Centre (NATPAC) was established by the Government of Kerala in 1976 to develop solutions to the traffic and transportation problems faced by the State. Owing to the contributions and achievements made by the institute, NATPAC was reconstituted as an autonomous R&D Centre under the Department of Science and Technology, Government of Kerala. In November 2002, NATPAC was amalgamated with Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment (KSCSTE), an autonomous body under the Department of Science and Technology, Government of Kerala, which was formed with the objective of adopting an integrated approach to the research and development activities in Kerala.
The Centre undertakes research and consultancy works in the field of transportation planning, traffic engineering, highway and pavement engineering, road safety, rural roads, inland water transport, tourism planning, transport economics and management, intelligent transportation systems, transport energy and environment, geomatics and other transportation-related aspects.
