laboratory

The high-performance computing laboratory on sustainable and intelligent transportation systems (SITS-Lab) is located at Room 842 in the Dow Building. SITS-Lab is connected with a 10 Gigabit Ethernet that enables all workstations in the lab can work together for distributed and heterogeneous parallel computing for large scale modeling and simulation and Big Data analytics.

Example projects include

(1) Connected and Automated Routing and Driving System (CARDS) for real-time (sub-second by sub-second) automated control of a fleet of connected vehicles for cooperative driving and routing;

(2) POLARIS to simulate millions of vehicles second-by-second activity-travel decisions over 24 hours in large cities such as Chicago and New York City;

(3) Analysis of high-frequency data from mobile sensors such as connected vehicles to observer activity-travel dynamics, network traffic dynamics, and fuel consumption.
