About this award
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration awarded a $7.4M firm-fixed-price task order to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) on September 29, 2022, for the development of on-road driving performance evaluation methods for automated driving systems (ADS)-equipped heavy-duty vehicles. This contract, with an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2025, supports critical research in vehicle safety and autonomous systems performance validation. The work will be performed in Blacksburg, Virginia, and no set-aside designation was used in this award. Virginia Tech, a leading public research institution with extensive capabilities in engineering and autonomous systems research, brings specialized expertise in federal transportation safety initiatives and has previously partnered with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on vehicle electronic systems safety research.
Virginia Tech has engaged two major subcontractors to support this initiative: Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a prominent nonprofit research organization headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, with deep expertise in transportation safety technologies and advanced engineering evaluation; and VTT LLC, operating as the Global Center for Automotive Performance Simulation, which specializes in automated driving systems evaluation, vehicle dynamics assessment, and on-road testing methodologies. An administrative modification to the task order updated key personnel, replacing Principal Investigator Andrew Miller with Dr. Myra Blanco. The collaborative structure leverages Virginia Tech's research infrastructure, SwRI's transportation testing capabilities, and VTT's specialized ADS simulation and evaluation expertise to develop comprehensive evaluation methods for assessing the on-road performance of heavy-duty vehicles equipped with advanced autonomous driving technologies.
