About this Event
Presentation Description- Emerging transportation technologies are driving innovative transportation technology solutions for the purposes of improving safety and decreasing congestion for the traveling public. These technologies include driver-assistance systems which are available on most newer vehicles that interact with the physical environment, surrounding infrastructure, and other road users to assist human drivers to navigate the roadways more safely. While driver-assistance systems continue to make steady incremental improvements, it has become clear that the transformative leap to the full deployment of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) will be measured in decades, not years. Jacobs is a global industry leader in CAV and our experiences including being the principal planner and engineering design of record in developing FDOT’s SunTrax CAV testing facility. Suntrax is built for the testing of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) and other innovative transportation technologies under varying and changeable configurations to create environments that are as flexible and comprehensive as possible.
