There are many simulation-based studies of traffic, however, there are few experimental results. This project bridges the divide by reducing the cost, effort, and risk. The project will enable the connected and automated vehicle (CAV) community to (a) rapidly prototype and study levels of connectivity between CAVs and human-driven vehicles, and (b) evaluate coordinated CAVs algorithms to modulate traffic flows.
DIF Role
The project developed a scaled robotic test-bed for connected and automated vehicles. The DIF project laid the foundation for an NSF Award.
