The National Science Foundation awarded a $244,610 Project Grant to the University of Michigan-Dearborn under the Integrative Activities federal grant program (CFDA 47.083). The grant will fund the acquisition of an autonomous plug-in hybrid vehicle platform and sensor suite to support multidisciplinary research and education at the University through August 2025.
Specifically, the platform will enable research and training in critical areas like machine learning algorithms for autonomous vehicles, energy systems for advanced mobility, cybersecurity through real-world scenarios, and human-vehicle interfaces. It will provide experiential learning opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students through hands-on research with a programmable electric vehicle. This supports the University's work in fields like embodied cognitive vehicles, in-vehicular network security, energy consumption, environmental perception, and driver behavior analyses relevant to the automotive and advanced mobility industries.
