The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga received a three-year, $1.374 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). The grant will support the development of a "Testbed as-a-Service" sandbox environment to foster smart and connected city research and development.
The Testbed as-a-Service platform will provide researchers with on-demand access to infrastructure and tools to design, deploy, and evaluate smart city technologies and applications. By establishing this open innovation platform, the University aims to accelerate the development and commercialization of emerging technologies that address challenges in transportation, energy, public safety and other areas. The platform seeks to lower barriers to entry for researchers to explore smart city use cases in a real-world environment. The grant period runs from October 2021 through September 2024, with all work taking place in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
