Regional Centre Kozhikode

The KSCSTE-NATPAC Regional Centre in Kozhikode, which has been active since 1990, plays a crucial role in addressing transportation engineering challenges in the region and fostering high-end research to meet current and future demands. Situated on the campus of the KSCSTE - Centre for Water Resources Development and Management (CWRDM) in Kunnamangalam, Kozhikode, this center serves as a hub for scientific, sustainable, and innovative solutions in the field of transportation. The regional centre is instrumental in shaping transportation infrastructure and planning for local government systems in these areas.

This center actively organizes road safety awareness programs and various training initiatives, emphasizing the importance of safe and efficient transportation systems. It provides valuable opportunities for students to engage in real-world projects and internships related to transportation engineering, enabling them to gain practical experience and contribute to the field's development.

Some of the major projects undertaken by the regional centre include traffic and transportation studies in areas such as Kasaragod, Kanhangad, Nileswaram, Payyanur, Thaliparamba, Kannur, Vadakara, Kalpetta, Kozhikode, Malappuram, Palakkad, and more. These studies have led to initiatives like the Comprehensive Mobility Plan for Kozhikode, a pre-feasibility study of the Metro (MRTS/LRTS) in Kozhikkode, traffic management schemes for Kozhikode city roads, preparation of Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for Hill Highway Package 1 covering Kasargode and Kannur, traffic and transportation studies for the Kannur Urban Area, short-term traffic improvements, long-term road development schemes for the urban center of Thalasserry in Kannur District, development of Ponnani Port in Malappuram District, traffic improvement schemes for Vengara in Malappuram District, road safety audit works, and the preparation of DPRs for selected roads in northern Kerala.

The KSCSTE-NATPAC Regional Centre in Kozhikode is a vital institution dedicated to advancing transportation engineering and infrastructure in the northern region. The center significantly contributes to the development of transportation solutions in northern Kerala.
