Communications and Radar-Supported Transportation Operations and Planning (CAR-STOP) [Phase 2 Project Summary]

A recent report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that more than 80% of all annual car crashes could be prevented by vehicular communications. To that end, the focus of this project was to develop a framework (conceptualizations, processes, procedures, and algorithms) to harness and mature sensing and communication technology to improve transportation safety, primarily focused on the development of an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS).
