Abstract: Hundreds of millions of people travel in vehicles every day around the world. How to improve road safety and efficiency using cyber technologies (such as connected vehicles) is a critical issue in today’s society. We have been working on a NSF cyber physical system (CPS) project that addresses some key challenges in the design and evaluation of cyber transportation systems (CTS), taking into consideration issues related to human-factors.

The Advanced Research Projects Agency Energy (ARPA-E) is seeking researchers interested in partnering on “Traveler Response Architecture using Novel Signaling for Network Efficiency in Transportation” (TRANSNET). The overall objective of the TRANSNET program is to reduce energy use in a multi-modal, urban transportation network through network control mechanisms employing personalized signaling.  More information is located under RFI-0000013 located at https://arpa-e-foa.energy.gov/.
