Which Route Home?
Posted
Do you check your GPS before heading into traffic? Traffic researchers Michael Levin and John Hourdos want to provide better traffic data. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) proposed that all new vehicles be required to broadcast basic safety messages (BSMs), such as the vehicle’s location, speed, and direction to help surrounding vehicles detect and avoid collisions. Researchers Michael Levin and John Hourdos believe that such information could also be used to learn about the state of traffic. They recently received a $250,000 research grant to develop their ideas.
