Vote for Howard University Undergraduates in Dept. of Transportation's Connected Vehicle Challenge
|
Posted By: Leshell Hatley on May 08, 2011 FEATURED Content Colleagues, Six of the Howard University CS undergraduate students have submitted 3 research ideas using dedicated short range communication (DSRC) to improve vehicle to vehicle, vehicle to user, and vehicle to infrastructure communication. The Connected Vehicle Technology Challenge (the “Challenge”) is an initiative of t*he U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). *The Challenge is intended to provide recognition to individuals, teams of individuals, corporations, and nonprofit organizations (collectively, "Contestants") for developing devices, products, services, approaches, solutions, applications, or other operational concepts that use or enhance the value of Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) technology. The submissions have closed and part of the judging consists of individuals going to the challenge website and voting. Currently, one team's submission: (CASS) Crash Avoidance Sensor System (team name Bison_Tech7) http://connectedvehicle.challenge.gov/subm... Is leading the vote tally of the 78 submissions with 38 votes. Please support our undergraduates by going to the link above and voting for them. The competition was open to the public, however, there are only a few student submissions, with all except Howard's from majority institutions. This is a great opportunity for them to gain exposure and showcase the research and experience they gained over the year to help create these ideas. These were solely their ideas and implementations. However, they worked on other wireless networking-based research problems over the academic year. Thanks in advance. -- Dr. Nicki Washington Systems and Computer Science Department Howard University 2300 Sixth St. NW Washington, DC 20059 202.806.7417 If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
