Colleagues,
Six of the Howard University CS undergraduate students have submitted 3
research ideas using dedicated short range communication (DSRC) to improve
vehicle to vehicle, vehicle to user, and vehicle to infrastructure
communication. The Connected Vehicle Technology Challenge (the “Challenge”)
is an initiative of t*he U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). *The
Challenge is intended to provide recognition to individuals, teams of
individuals, corporations, and nonprofit organizations (collectively,
"Contestants") for developing devices, products, services, approaches,
solutions, applications, or other operational concepts that use or enhance
the value of Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) technology.
The submissions have closed and part of the judging consists of individuals
going to the challenge website and voting.
Currently, one team's submission:
(CASS) Crash Avoidance Sensor System (team name Bison_Tech7)
http://connectedvehicle.challenge.gov/subm... Is leading the vote tally of the 78 submissions with 38 votes.
Please support our undergraduates by going to the link above and voting for them. The competition was
open to the public, however, there are only a few student submissions, with
all except Howard's from majority institutions. This is a great opportunity
for them to gain exposure and showcase the research and experience they
gained over the year to help create these ideas. These were solely their
ideas and implementations. However, they worked on other wireless
networking-based research problems over the academic year. Thanks in advance.
