AVL recently partnered with Michigan Technological University, American Center for Mobility, BorgWarner, Navistar Inc and Traffic Technology Services Inc. for a Connected Cohort Optimization project funded by Department of Energy, EEMS: Energy Efficient Mobility Systems, VTO: Vehicle Technologies Office.
AVL engineers collaborated to explore the synergy between vehicle connectivity and automation, with the goal of reducing energy consumption and improving mobility in transportation systems across multiple scales.
Here is an overview of that project with Darrell Robinette from Michigan Technological University.
