Research

Methodology Summary

Our research aims to establish a set of methodologies to understand, predict and eventually improve smart city systems via sensors, controllers and design variables rendered by emerging technology.

Connected and Automated Vehicle Theory and Modeling

Highway traffic congestion and stop-and-go movements are almost inevitable experiences in highway traffic due to intrinsic limitations in human driving behavior and information access.

Connected and Automated Vehicle Field Experiments

At the beginning of 2019, the USF CATS lab started to work on Connected and automated vehicle related research.

Modular Connected and Automated Vehicle

Emerging technologies in communications and vehicle technologies will allow future automated vehicles to be platooned together with wireless communications or physically forming modular automated vehicles.

Infrastructure Systems

The rapid developments of emerging transportation technologies (e.g., electric vehicles (EV), automated vehicles (AV), electric automated vehicles (EAV), and shared mobility) present unprecedented research opportunities in infrastructure design, flee

Trajectory Data Collection

Real-world vehicle trajectories have significant efforts on studying various traffic phenomena, and thus enormous efforts have been made to collect real-world vehicle trajectory datasets.
