Abstract: At a high level, the goal of this project is to collect data on how drivers approach and drive through intersections.  Research at the University of Michigan concerns the development of the driving simulator scenarios and testing human subjects.  In addition, considerable related research is being conducted on research methods.  At MIT, models based on the research at Michigan are being developed.  This abstract concerns those part of the project conducted at the University of Michigan. 

Abstract: This project addresses the impact of the integration of renewable intermittent generation and the integration of sophisticated sensing, communication, and actuation capabilities into the grid on the system’s reliability, volatility, and economic efficiency, and seeks to develop system architectures, along with associated optimization and control algorithms to balance such trade-­‐offs. The high level goals of this project can be stated as follows:

Abstract: Designing software that can properly and safely interact with the physical world is an important cyber-‐physical systems design challenge. The proposed work includes the development of a novel approach to designing planning and control algorithms for high‐performance cyber physical systems. The new approach was inspired by statistical mechanics and stochastic geometry.
