It’s a foregone conclusion among many transportation experts that connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) will be commonplace within the next decade. CAV technologies promise not only to make our transportation system more efficient, but also to save lives and reduce the systemwide costs associated with transportation. To grapple with the complexities associated with CAV adoption, […]

TxDOT, TTI Sign MOU to Test Connected and Automated Vehicle Technologies
A framework is now in place between the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) to begin testing connected and automated vehicle (CV/AV) technologies on the state highway system. TTI and TxDOT recently co-signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), spelling out the guidelines that would allow TTI to test lab-proven […]
TTI Researchers to Participate in Smart Transport Symposium
Seven researchers from the Texas A&M Transportation Institute will present at the 2016 Smart Transport Symposium on Friday, August 5, at The University of Texas at Austin Thompson Conference Center. Hosted in connection with TxDOT Research Project 0-6838 (Bringing Smart Transport to Texans: Ensuring the Benefit of a Connected and Autonomous Transport System in Texas), this […]
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 those is testing both 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 […]
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 […]
