Pedestrian Crash Avoidance and Mitigation
The Volpe Center assessed the potential safety benefits of Pedestrian Avoidance/Mitigation (PCAM) systems in cooperation with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and automotive partners.
Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure applications
Safety Pilot assesses the feasibility of using Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC) in vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) applications.
What We Do
The Center for Advanced Transportation Technologies is dedicated to exploring innovative applications of advanced communications, navigation and information technologies to enhance transportation safety, mobility and energy / environmental performance. We focus on vehicle crash avoidance, electronic systems safety and resilience, technology assessment, field test and evaluation, and strategic planning and research program management.
