MAE Virtual Lunch and Learn: Center for Automotive Research

Take a short lunch break and join us for a 30 minute MAE Virtual Lunch and Learn session hosted by Dr. Marcello Canova of the Center for Automotive Research.

Mobility is undergoing dramatic transformations that will radically change the way we move and access work and leisure time. In particular, the increased development of external connectivity using Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) technologies will allow a vehicle to "know" its future operating environment with some degree of certainty, greatly narrowing previous information gaps. The ability to predict driving conditions in the near future presents the opportunity to deploy new and emerging control technologies that can significantly reduce the energy consumption of individual vehicles.

In this Virtual Lunch and Learn session, we will look at some of the activities at the OSU Center for Automotive Research, where optimization and optimal control theory is applied to vehicle connectivity and automated driving capabilities, with the objective of significantly improving the fuel economy of a mild-HEV passenger car. The ability to realize such capabilities in production vehicles is around the corner, and OSU is playing a key role in shaping the future of personal and commercial mobility.

If you require an accommodation such as live captioning or interpretation to participate in this event, please contact Nick Breckenridge at breckenridge.17@osu.edu or 614-292-7163. Requests made by January 15 will generally allow us to provide seamless access, but the university will make every effort to meet requests made after this date.
