🎉 I'm excited to share that I've received the Best Student Presentation Award at the 4th Annual Conference on Next-Generation Transport Systems Conference (NGTS-4) at Purdue University for our presentation: "Corner-Case Scenarios of Vulnerable Road Users to Support Evaluation of Automated Driving Systems - A Data Driven Framework"! 🙌✨ A huge thank you to all the co-authors: Huizhong Guo, Brian Lin, Fred Feng, Feng Zhou and my advisor Shan Bao, along with Rini Sherony. Your support and guidance made this possible! Looking forward to continuing our research and exploring new opportunities to make impactful contributions to VRU safety and automated vehicles. Excited for the journey ahead! #PhD #Research #VRUSafety #ADAS #StudentPresentation #NGTS2024 Image credit to: Next-Generation Transport Systems Conference (NGTS-4)

Professor Ziran Wang (Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering at Purdue) is helping #autonomousVehicles understand their passengers by leveraging #artificialIntelligence models. Professor Wang's research with CCAT aims to help AVs drive in extreme weather conditions by using large vision models. Learn more about Professor Wang: https://myumi.ch/VGkVJ #ccatResearch

The 4th Annual Conference on Next-Generation Transport Systems begins tomorrow! Led by CCAT partner Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering at Purdue, this two-day event will feature presentations on #autonomousVehicles, connected vehicles, shared transport, #electricVehicles, and more.

CCAT Managing Director Debby Bezzina, MBA,PMP sat down with Todd Feathers (Gizmodo.com) to discuss the future of car safety through cellular vehicle-to-everything. "This is the ultimate safety feature. A lot of us think maybe we’re on the cusp of deploying this nationally. I think we’re ready." Read it here: https://myumi.ch/23qrk

AEVAC-Asociación Española del Vehículo Autónomo Conectado is a partner on the Selfy Project which aims to address continuous assessments of the robustness and resilience of CCAM-enabled mobility solutions versus cyber-attacks, malfunction, misuse or system failure of the systems in use. As part of the project, AEVAC is organizing a survey to identify the main challenges that may arise for society in the context of cybersecurity within the autonomous and connected mobility sector.

Our 21st funded research project of Year Two is led by the Center for Transportation Studies, University of Minnesota. 'Rural Intersection Safety for Autonomous and Connected Vehicles' will enable connected and #autonomousVehicles to safely and efficiently travel at/through rural intersections by utilizing novel low-cost intersection-installed hardware that is suitable for widespread deployment. Rajesh Rajamani and Brian Davis serve as the Principal Investigators. Learn more: https://myumi.ch/Pkeqz #ccatResearch

Our 20th funded research project of Year Two is led by the Center for Transportation Studies, University of Minnesota. 'Examining Driver Hand-off and Take-over of AVs at J-turn Intersections' will aim to develop a driving simulation and study methodology to examine driver take-over decisions and performance at J-turn intersections. Nichole Morris, Ph.D. and Katelyn Schwieters, Ph.D. serve as the Principal Investigators. Learn more: https://myumi.ch/egpqP #ccatResearch
