报告题目: Emerging Frontiers in Transportation: Connected Vehicles and Autonomous Vehicles
报告人： Srinivas Peeta教授（美国普渡大学）
报告时间：10月7日下午3:30
报告地点：南一楼中311室

Abstract
Transportation is an inherently multidisciplinary field. Rapid technological advances over the past two decades are serving to catalyze innovations that leverage information communication and sensor technologies. Two emerging developments in this context are connected vehicles and autonomous vehicles. While connected vehicles seek information connectivity with the ambient environment and beyond, autonomous vehicles aim for “ driverless” capabilities. This talk seeks to inform on connected vehicles and autonomous vehicles, and identify some emerging research issues thereof from the broader transportation perspective.
