Presented By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)
AUTOMATED AND CONNECTED VEHICLES: HISTORY, DEVELOPMENT, M-CITY, AND THE FUTURE
Huei Peng, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, U of M
Dr. Peng is the Roger L. McCarthy Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the U-M. His research centers on the design and control of electrified vehicles and
connected/automated vehicles. He currently serves as the Director of the U-M Mobility Transformation Center, a center that oversees the test facility M-City, and studies
connected and autonomous vehicle technologies and promotes their deployment.
The Mobility Transformation Center, established in 2013, studies a wide spectrum of research topics related to connected and automated vehicles. It focuses on the development of “living laboratories” that are key tools for research and education. One of those laboratories is M-City, a 32-acre site on North Campus which simulates the broad range of complexities vehicles encounter in urban and suburban environments. Dr. Peng will present a brief history, current research activities, and future challenges for connected and automated vehicles.
This is the third of a six-lecture series. The subject is The Future of Transportation: Don’t Turn in Your Car Keys Yet!
