September 2020: A team of researchers from NC-CAV Center received $550k from NSF and $235k from NCDOT, Downtown Greensboro Inc., and NCA&T College of Engineering to establish a network of self-driving shuttles. In this project, we will develop a CAV testbed consisting of three self-driving shuttles, along with the required sensing and communication networks. This advanced transportation testbed enables fundamental research in the development, deployment, and validation of Connected Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) technologies and will be developed and tested at a one-mile test track at the NCA&T North Campus Gateway Research Park.  Read more ...
