This $600,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) to Vanderbilt University on February 1, 2025. The grant will fund a collaborative research project to accelerate the design of controllers for large-scale engineering systems, focusing on the application of artificial intelligence in transportation.

The project aims to bridge the gap between simulated cyber environments and real-world physical operations by utilizing extensive offline datasets and offline reinforcement learning. Specifically, the research team will harness data from millions of vehicle miles collected on the I-24 Motion open road testbed in Nashville, Tennessee. By developing efficient and adaptive control systems, such as improved cruise control for vehicles, the project seeks to enhance safety, reduce traffic congestion, and improve overall driving comfort. The anticipated result is a tenfold reduction in societal-scale transportation systems' design cycles, leading to significant societal benefits in emissions reduction, air quality improvement, and transportation cost savings. The project will also contribute to educating students on the deployment of these innovative systems.
