A new NSF grant was awarded to iUTS to develop new privacy protection methods for connected vehicles (CV) and V2X data. The award will be a joint collaboration between UW and privacy/security experts at IIT. See here for more detailed information about this award.

iUTS has conducted Covid-19 related research since early 2020 on (i) mobility impacts on multimodal transportation systems, (ii) surveys/focus groups on travel/commuting needs, challenges, and new patterns (especially for essential workers) during and post the pandemic, and (iii) mobility-based transmission models to help predict Covid fatalities. More details of the research can be found from the following media/news reports.
