This $200,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program aims to advance artificial intelligence (AI)-driven research for autonomous vehicle-enabled transportation services. The grant supports the planning and design of an "AI-Ready SmartSenseAI Lab" testbed at the University of Michigan. This expanded testbed will enable a comprehensive, ecosystem-level exploration of autonomous vehicle interactions, including with vulnerable road users and supporting infrastructure, as well as operational processes like robotic charging and fleet management. The goal is to bridge critical gaps in scaling from single-vehicle testing to real-world autonomous vehicle deployment at scale, ensuring safety, efficiency, and robustness. This planning grant, with an award date of August 15, 2025 and ultimate completion date of July 31, 2027, will prepare the team to execute the full research proposal and establish the testbed as a national resource for pioneering work on the operational dynamics of autonomous vehicle networks.
