The ITS Institute’s Intelligent Vehicles (IV) Lab, directed by Craig Shankwitz, is working on improving transit schedule reliability. Helping bus drivers feel confident when using bus-only shoulders on suburban highways are two of the goals of the Bus 2.0 driver-assistive system currently being implemented by Minnesota Public Transit Association.
Peloton Technology recently placed two 18 wheelers equipped with GPS systems and Delphi's Electronically Scanning RADAR (ESR), provided by AutonomouStuff, on a Nevada highway, successfully demonstrating that automated systems can help prevent crashes and make vehicles more fuel-efficient.
Cruise Automation, Inc. (Cruise) has developed Cruise RP-1, the first highway autopilot for your car, in an effort to reduce highway accidents, which kill 33,000 Americans each year. Cruise RP-1 uses cameras and AutonomouStuff-supplied Delphi Electronically Scanning Radar to keep your car in its lane and a safe distance from the car in front of you. The product is currently installed on vehicles at the Cruise facility in San Francisco and supports 2012 or newer Audi A4 or S4 vehicles.
Unmanned Vehicle Technology integrates high-power processing computers, intelligence, drive-by-wire technology and perception sensing technologies. The trucks are equipped with LiDAR, RADAR, GPS, Vision, Advanced Algorithms, and, of course, very powerful computing capabilities.
