How can a partnership with CUIP benefit you?

For 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.

For Public Agencies and Government Partners

Using our resources and relationships, we can help you:

• Fund research projects that align with your agency’s transportation and sustainability goals.
• Deploy and test connected fleet applications with transit buses and research vehicles equipped with OBUs, LiDARs, and cameras.
• Demonstrate and showcase products in Chattanooga’s nationally recognized smart city testbed.
• Collaborate on joint R&D projects supported by NSF, USDOT SMART/ATTAIN, and other funding initiatives.

For Industry and Community Partners

Using our resources and relationships, we can help you:

• Validate emerging technologies—from sensors and edge devices to software platforms—in a real-world urban corridor.
• Host technology demos and test drives for key stakeholders, showcasing innovation in a city-scale environment.
• Collaborate through joint panels and cohort meetings that advance best practices, policy frameworks, and standardization.
