This $1.71 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program will fund the development of ScooterLab, a research testbed utilizing retrofitted electric micro-mobility vehicles. The University of Texas at San Antonio will design, deploy, and manage a fleet of battery-powered vehicles equipped with heterogeneous sensors and remote communication/control capabilities. These vehicles will crowd-source mobility, user, and environmental data to support research at the intersection of computing disciplines and micro-mobility/transportation. The University of Oklahoma is a collaborator. Through 2025, ScooterLab will provide an accessible platform for researchers to request customized data collection experiments and access curated datasets. Outreach activities will promote testbed use and share research outcomes enabled by the data. The project aims to advance micro-mobility and data science while expanding opportunities for underrepresented groups in these fields.
