Doctoral Dissertations

Connected and automated vehicle technologies have the potential to significantly improve transportation system performance. In particular, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), such as adaptive cruise control (ACC), cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC), pedestrian crash prevention (PCP) system, and advanced automated collision notification (ACN) system may lead to substantial improvements in performance by decreasing driver inputs and taking over control of the vehicle. The main questions that might arise are 1) how we can quantify the potential environmental and safety impacts of these technologies and 2) what the potential for these technologies is to address some of the important transportation-related problems.
