The Tashkent Automobile and Road Construction Institute was established in Tashkent, Uzbekistan to meet the high demands for professionals in the transportation and automobile fields.
The Tashkent Institute of Design, Construction and Maintenance of Automobile Roads (TIDCMAR) is an institute in Central Asia which focuses on training engineers on automobile and road construction fields. It was first established during Soviet times by the edict of Uzbek government number 697 on 27 December of the year 1971 and by the edict of "Ministry of Higher and Secondary Education Affairs" number 27 on 21 January of the year 1972 under the base of automobile-road faculty at "Tashkent Poly Technical Institute". The first academic year at the institute started on 1 September 1972.
TIDCMAR's main building is located in the center of Tashkent, near the metro station "Oybek" and next to the "State Museum of Arts" of Uzbekistan. Tashkent Institute of Design, Construction and Maintanace of Automobile Roads is well known as one of the leading universities in Central Asia in fields of automobile construction, automobile transport, road and airport construction. The campus of the institute is fully supplied with modern rooms to hold classes, rooms for experimental subjects and a techno park.
There are 3 academicians from "Uzbek Academy of Sciences", 4 representatives of Uzbek sciences, 38 doctors of sciences, who give their lectures at the university.

Xusnitdinov, who controlled the faculty till the year of 1979. In the first years there were 4 departments in the faculty, which were "Automobile Roads Planning", "Exploitation of Automobile Roads", "Road Constructing Materials", "Road Constructing Machines". When it was established there were 117 students engaged with the studies.
In 1979 it was renamed to "Road Construction Faculty". 1972–86 there were 7 departments, 1987–95 there were 12–14 departments, 1995–2000 there were 7 departments and currently there are 4 departments at the faculty.

However, initially it was established as the department in Mechanics Faculty and was called "Automobiles". First head of the department was G.A. Kuzminov.
On the base of this department "Automobile Roads" faculty was established in 1969. After creation of TARCI 1972 the faculty was given to the institute and was renamed to its current name, which is "Automobile Transport Exploitation Faculty". Nowadays the dean of the faculty is Xakimov Ravshan Muminovich.
The seven departments in the faculty are:
Graduates are currently working at the big automobile concerns and holding of Republic Uzbekistan in leading positions. Graduates from the faculty may also work at automobile factories, in auto transport and auto repairing companies and at many other companies which are mainly focus on automobiles.[6] [7]
The Auto Mechanics Faculty is the youngest faculty of TARCI. It was established in 1993 after opening of automobile industry in Republic Uzbekistan with the name of "Automobile utilization". During the years of 1993 to 1995 it was controlled by docent D.R. Kulmuhamedov. However, interest among the applicants decreased rapidly and in order to save the faculty it was mixed with the faculty of "Automobile Transports" in 1995 and was renamed as "Automobile Industry". After 3 years it was reset in 1998 at the "Auto Mechanics Faculty".
