Collaborate With Us
Our public and private partnerships allow us to expand our research and transform our findings into real-world solutions. Have an idea, question, or challenge we could help you with?
Academic and Research Institutions
Using our resources, we can help you:
- Develop and validate AI algorithms for traffic analytics, multimodal sensing, and perception using our 2.5+ billion daily data points from LiDARs, cameras, SPaT, BSM & other sensory data
- Test connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) technologies in both real-world (MLK Smart Corridor & Highway 27) and controlled (10,000 sq. ft. test track with 1-mile oval) environments.
- Leverage high-performance computing and edge resources (NVIDIA AGX Orin, UTC’s HPC clusters, and advanced workstations) for scalable simulation, modeling, and ML experiments.
- Conduct human-factors research using CUIP’s high-fidelity driving simulator and Meta AR glasses to study driver behavior, VRU safety, and human-technology interactions.
- Prototype and evaluate new wireless and V2X technologies (C-V2X, LTE-V2X, Wi-Fi, LoRa) in a live urban environment with fiber-backhauled intersections and mobile sensor platforms.
