Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) researchers in the Center for International Intelligent Transportation Research (CIITR) are currently implementing a pilot roadside LiDAR-based traffic monitoring system at international ports of entry (POEs).
Safe-D director Zac Doerzaph (VTTI) sat down with Greg Winfree, director of TTI, to talk about the nation’s mobility priorities and what university-based research can do to support them on the Thinking Transportation Podcast.
Safe-D researcher Jean Paul Talledo Vilela (VTTI) was featured in the Virginia Tech Doodle on September 20th. The doodle shows him updating GPS and Gyroscope software.
An interdisciplinary research group at Virginia Tech is using an award of $550,000 to create a virtual environment to test safety measures for the interaction between electric vehicles (EVs) and pedestrians. The award is an 18-month project funded by the Safety through Disruption (Safe-D) University Transportation Center.
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Deputy Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology, Diana Furchtgott-Roth, and other attendees from the Future Active Saftey Technology(FAST) Toward Zero Accidents Symposium visited VTTI on a tour to learn more about VTTI and Safe-D research.
