Abstract
The goal of the CrIS UTC is to improve ground transportation safety through interdisciplinary research and development in the interplay of autonomous and intelligent vehicle systems, human factors, and injury biomechanics. Outreach and Engagement activities include: 1. Education, Workplace Development, and Diversity -- education programs related to ground transportation, focusing on human systems integration in pre-crash scenarios. 2. Technology Transfer and Policy -- research on policies that can support or hinder the adoption of intelligent vehicle systems.
Description
IMPACT. 1: UTC - WiE RISE Collaboration – This project familiarizes the WiE RISE participants with basic Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) concepts and includes hands-on experience with assembling, programming, and testing mobile ground robots that serve as surrogate vehicles. -- 2. Safety, Crashes, and Intelligent Vehicle Systems in Policy – This project looks at the policy discussions around the issues of vehicle safety, crashes, and intelligent vehicle systems (and autonomous vehicles). -- 3. It employs big data techniques on a large dataset of U.S. government policy documents from the U.S. Congress, Executive, the Judiciary, and Public Administrators.
