Star Vancouver and Global News reported on AURORA, a national test bed for research into a fully integrated transportation network that was unveiled at UBC. David G. Michelson, lead researcher and an electrical and computing engineering professor at UBC said that academics, industry and government can now collaborate in connected-vehicle research.
“We want to improve road safety; we want to reduce traffic congestion; we want to improve the efficiency of commercial vehicle transactions, like road tolling,” he said.
