TTI, TxDOT Team Up to Test Connected-Vehicle Technology
Connected vehicles are coming. The transportation industry is already working on standards and prototypes. And part of developing them is testing to ensure the future of transportation is as safe, efficient and reliable as possible. A portion of I-35 could soon become a national test bed for connected-vehicle research, thanks in part to a four-year […]
Testing Connected Transportation Innovations Starts with First Creating the Test Itself
Before the new era of connected vehicles can become a reality, researchers must first find a way to test each proposed component and application under a variety of conditions that mimic real-world scenarios. For example, can the hardware inside a connected vehicle successfully receive and correctly interpret a queue warning, even with driving environments that […]
TTI Participates in Global Symposium on Connected Vehicles, Looks Ahead to New Research Opportunities
With many of the vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) interested parties in attendance, the first annual Global Symposium on Connected Vehicles and Infrastructure took place in Ann Arbor, Michigan, May 14–16. Hosted by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI), the symposium examined all the key issues of V2V and V2I and included the […]
