The Midlands Institute of Transport, based at the University of Wolverhampton is faced with the challenging task of developing devices and frameworks for today's and tomorrows Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). With members coming from a wide range of backgrounds and fields provides a wealth of knowledge and expertise. Such fields include Electro-Mechanical, Electronics, Communications, Computer Engineering and Management.

The purpose of MIT is to provide focus for excellence in all matters related to the sound management and development of transport system and technology in both practical and academic terms, and to provide direct access to technological and management developments for automotive industry, transport operators, government, manufacturers and their workforce, and to establish "best practice" as an industry norm. MIT is a distributed research, training, product development and technology transfer organisation that promotes cross-disciplinary research and training.

Particular areas of research focus include Intelligent Speed Adaptation Systems, Collision Avoidance Systems, Global positioning Systems, Fleet Management Systems, Information Flow Modelling, Intelligence Message Prioritisation and other aspects of Vehicular Messaging Architecture, Supply Chain Management, Freight and Public Transport Systems.
