Vehicles Systems Research
Vehicle research involves developing more crash worthy, energy
efficient and environmentally friendly transportation technologies. The
research is an interdisciplinary approach which focuses on:
- Studying the design, simulation, and testing of
vehicle (buses, trucks, trains and locomotives, and automobiles, including
hybrid, electric, and other alternative-fuel vehicles) components and of
vehicles interacting with their environment.
- Examine safety, structural integrity,
durability, performance, maintainability, noise, fuel economy, brake
performance, emissions, and alternative fuel systems.
- Developing intelligent and autonomous vehicles
systems.
