Congratulations to Xingmin (Nathan) Wang, a postdoctoral research fellow at U-M CEE, for receiving the Transportation Science & Logistic Best Dissertation Award at the INFORMS Annual Meeting this month! Dr. Wang's dissertation, titled 'Traffic Signal Optimization with Connected Vehicle Trajectories' is part of a CCAT-funded research project which led to the development of the Optimized Signal as a Services (OSaaS). Xingmin joins two other University of Michigan award recipients since its inception in 1970. The TSL Best Dissertation Award is the oldest and most prestigious honor for doctoral dissertations in the transportation science and logistics area. Learn more: https://myumi.ch/7PRVD

The USDOT's Region 5 University Transportation Center focused on transportation that is safe, secure, and equitable.
About us
With a $2.4M grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation, the University of Michigan, along with its partners, has created the Center for Connected and Automated Transportation (CCAT). CCAT aims to advance research in the field of transportation safety, mobility, and sustainability via connected vehicles, connected infrastructure, and autonomous vehicles. Located at the focal point of the U.S. auto industry, CCAT will play a unique regional role in promoting connected and automated transportation research, education, workforce development, and technology transfer activities, which are of critical importance to the future of the region’s economy. The CCAT team’s extensive and substantive collaborations with stakeholders such as the region’s state DOTs, local governments, and the CAV industry will ensure that our research translates to practical outcomes through prototypes, field tests, technology transfer, implementation, and policies. U-M’s partners include the University of Akron, Central State University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the University of Minnesota Twin-Cities, Northwestern University, Purdue University, Washtenaw Community College, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The MIT Mobility Initiative is delighted to announce the seventh episode of the MIT Mobility Forum Fall 2024 hosted by Prof. Jinhua Zhao. Forum Title: Safety Assessment for Autonomous Vehicles Earning public trust in highly automated vehicles, and greater understanding of how they operate, is paramount as automakers and their suppliers push to put cars and trucks on the road that can safely operate without a driver. While complex automated vehicle safety testing programs are being implemented across industry, they are generally proprietary, and their structure remains hidden from public view. To remedy this, we developed the Mcity Safety Assessment Program, a two-part protocol for testing the behavior competence of automated vehicles before their widespread use on public roads. The first part of the assessment is a “Driver’s License Test” that measures the basic behavioral competency of an automated vehicle through random scenario generation. The second part is a “Driving Intelligence Test” that challenges AI-based algorithms with a diverse set of scenarios representing those that most often result in crashes, injuries and fatalities. Mcity believes the Mcity Safety Assessment Program could serve as the blueprint for a publicly inspectable behavioral safety framework, helping industry bring automated vehicle technology to market in a manner that truly benefits society. In this talk, we will also highlight Mcity 2.0, a facility funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), that aims to build a digital infrastructure providing researchers remote access to the Mcity mixed reality testing environment for highly automated vehicles. Profile - Henry Liu, is a Bruce D Greenshields Collegiate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Director of Mcity at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor. He is also a Research Professor at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute and the Director for the Center for Connected and Automated Transportation (CCAT). From July 2017 to August 2019, he took a leave of absence from the University and served as Chief Scientist on Smart Transportation for DiDi, one of the leading mobility service providers in the world. Liu received his Ph.D. degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2000 and his Bachelor degree in Automotive Engineering from Tsinghua University (China) in 1993. Prof. Liu conducts interdisciplinary research at the interface of transportation engineering, automotive engineering, and artificial intelligence. Specifically, his scholarly interests concern traffic flow monitoring, modeling, and control, as well as testing and evaluation of connected and automated vehicles. #Autonomousvehiclesafety Fridays 12:00-13:00 ET, Aug 30 - Dec 13, 2024 The MIT Mobility Forum is open to the public.
