surface transportation systems are indispensable for our society, several alarming statistics on accidents and fatalities, congestion, fuel consumption and emissions have raised serious concerns. While emerging technologies for Connected Vehicles (CV) and Autonomous Vehicles (AV) will bring transformative changes, many open research challenges remain. Moreover, new designs, technologies, infrastructures and applications must be evaluated and validated before their deployment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This project develops an integrated 5-in-1 instrument for Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Evaluation and Experimentation (iCAVE2), along with instrumented vehicles, including a self-driving shuttle (the Olli bus)&nbsp;and UB\u2019s Lincoln MKZ\u2019s AV platform&nbsp;with sensor packages supporting both open source software called&nbsp;Autoware&nbsp;and Apollo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">iCAVE2 is the first-of-its-kind with unprecedented capabilities, not offered by any simulator-based instrument or test-beds in academic, industrial or government-based R&amp;D laboratories. It bridges the gap between existing simulators and road testing facilities by providing a flexible, scalable (and yet low-cost), and more importantly, safe (and yet realistic) platform for comprehensive and holistic evaluation and experiments of CV\/AV technologies and their applications. Thus, it is particularly suitable for answering various &#8220;what-if&#8221; questions related to safety, efficiency and sustainability arising from human-automation interactions with not-yet-available technologies and rare\/extreme events (e.g. severe weather or emergency situations). The instrument is useful to researchers in academia and <span class=\"crio-edit\">IT<\/span>&nbsp;industry, and developers and decision makers in <span class=\"crio-edit\">the <\/span>auto-manufacturing, auto-insurance and government transportation agencies. The instrument will also be useful to run CV\/AV algorithms and applications to collect data and enable many advanced research activities related to Big Data in transportation systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lincoln MKZ is a customized car used as&nbsp;<span class=\"crio-edit\">automated<\/span>&nbsp;research development platform. It&nbsp;is&nbsp;equipped with <span class=\"crio-edit\">range<\/span>&nbsp;of sensors, power distribution <span class=\"crio-edit\">system, computer,<\/span>&nbsp;drive-by-wire and&nbsp;vehicle network interfaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Olli Bus,&nbsp;produced&nbsp;by Arizona-based Local <span class=\"crio-edit\">Motors<\/span>&nbsp;is a self-driving, electric-powered&nbsp;8-passenger&nbsp;bus,&nbsp;crafted from a 3-D printed design and assembled outside <span class=\"crio-edit\">of <\/span>a traditional factory. It uses 360-degree sensors, radar and cameras to function \u2013 as well as a digital map stored on the vehicle.
