Considering the fast evolution of the next-generation transportation system, our main research goals are developing innovative modeling techniques, control strategies, and evaluation methods for smart transportation infrastructure and connected and automated vehicles (CAVs). Especially, we focus on studying the interactions between infrastructure and smart vehicles to improve safety, mobility, and resilience of the transportation system. We have three major research directions, including cooperative driving automation, transportation system cybersecurity, and intelligent vehicle testing and evaluation.

 

Our research is sponsored by National Science Foundataion (NSF), US Department of Transportation (USDOT), Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), USDOT Region Center for Connected and Automated Transportation (CCAT), USDOT National Center for Transportation Cybersecurity and Resiliency (TraCR), and industrial compnies such as WSP, and Leidos.
