As the vehicle travels a loop from East ML King Boulevard to the Edney Innovation Center to the UTC campus, it will gather real-time data about the interactions between other cars, cyclists, pedestrians and other travelers.<\/p>\n<p>A human driver will remain in the R&amp;D vehicle platform at all times, in compliance with traffic laws.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis state-of-the-art vehicle will be an invaluable new tool in our data-gathering work, all of which is working to make our streets and public spaces safer, more efficient, and more useful to everyone,\u201d said Austin Harris, director of operations and chief engineer for the UTC Research Institute and CUIP. \u201cSince we launched the Smart Corridor project five years ago, we have made continual advances in the quality and quantity of data we are able to analyze. We look forward to learning what we can from this vehicle to help guide everything from traffic light patterns to pedestrian safety enhancements to the design of streets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As manager of the MLK Smart Corridor, Harris has principal responsibility for the vehicle\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis technology unlocks new understanding about how our city works and moves,\u201d said Dr. Mina Sartipi, executive director of the UTC Research Institute and CUIP founding director. \u201cUrban mobility is changing in a lot of ways and cities like Chattanooga owe it to ourselves to prepare for this future today. Self-driving vehicles may soon be commonplace, and UTC is leading the way in helping to safely and responsibly integrate this new technology into everyone\u2019s everyday experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Data collected through the MLK Smart Corridor project improves city operations, such as making traffic flow more smoothly, increasing pedestrian safety, and monitoring air quality and noise levels. This corridor serves as an urban testing ground for innovative ideas and technologies that could potentially apply to other cities worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>The MLK Smart Corridor is a collaboration between UTC, the City of Chattanooga, EPB, and other local community partners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor years, EPB has supported the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga on projects that foster our community\u2019s dynamic, innovative culture,\u201d said David Wade, EPB\u2019s CEO. \u201cThe UTC Research Institute continues to lead the way with regard to cutting-edge research and new technologies, and EPB is glad to provide energy and connectivity solutions to advance their efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChattanooga&#8217;s status as a technologically advanced and progressive city is known throughout the country,\u201d said Kevin Fay, portfolio manager for AutonomouStuff. \u201cWe are very proud to work alongside UTC and the people of Chattanooga to help move this research forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information on CUIP\u2019s research, visit <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/utc.edu\/research\/center-urban-informatics-and-progress\">UTC.edu\/research\/center-urban-informatics-and-progress<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers at the University of Tennessee of Chattanooga are driving faster\u2014and more safely\u2014into the future of mobility with the recent arrival of the University\u2019s first autonomous vehicle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2024\/01\/utc-unveils-autonomous-vehicle-for-smarter-safer-urban-mobility\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":56627,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[831,70,123864,59,3,7712,52,64,48007],"tags":[122027,123893,83417,123826,122267,48207,72958,1000,123894,123895,123828,123882,123829,122729],"class_list":{"0":"post-56625","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-academics","8":"category-advancement-and-alumni","9":"category-college-of-engineering-and-computer-science","10":"category-community","11":"category-faculty-and-staff","12":"category-graduate-school","13":"category-news","14":"category-research-academics","15":"category-research-institute","16":"tag-austin-harris","17":"tag-autonomous-vehicle","18":"tag-center-for-urban-informatics-and-progress","19":"tag-cultivating-a-culture-of-innovation","20":"tag-david-wade","21":"tag-dr-mina-sartipi","22":"tag-edney-innovation-center","23":"tag-epb","24":"tag-hexagon-autonomoustuff","25":"tag-kevin-fay","26":"tag-leveraging-our-special-place-as-chattanoogas-university","27":"tag-mlk-smart-corridor","28":"tag-operating-with-excellence","29":"tag-utc-research-institute","30":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
