Cars that communicate to smooth out traffic or brake to avoid accidents have the potential to significantly improve sustainability, safety, and mobility. Researchers continue to create many new technologies for connected and automated vehicles; however, most rely on limited open data sets for simulation and testing.
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded $5.0 million to the University of Michigan to enable academic researchers and students nationwide to access the world’s first cloud-based, augmented-reality testbed for connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technologies. The award will expand the university’s original CAV proving ground, known as Mcity, by integrating the physical test track with a software simulation environment.
“NSF invests in a broad array of fundamental research and new technologies for smart transportation, ranging from semiconductors and microelectronics to wireless communication, contactless electric vehicle charging, and artificial intelligence,” said Susan Margulies, NSF assistant director for …
