As CAVs move from research labs to real-world deployment, researchers at the Michigan Tech Research Institute (MTRI) and Advanced Power Systems Laboratories (APS Labs) are helping to answer critical questions about how these systems will perform in less-than-perfect operating conditions. In doing so, they are pushing the boundaries of what vehicles can achieve.
Michigan Tech is home to a federally funded initiative to develop, validate, and demonstrate a suite of energy-saving technologies on connected electric vehicles. The project is a partnership between the University and General Motors, and has received over $7 million in support from the ARPA-E NEXTCAR Program—an initiative of the US Department of Energy's (DOE's) Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy. It's also a collaboration between Bill Buller, senior research scientist at MTRI, and Jeffrey D. Naber, director of APS Labs—and is rooted in both labs' innovation and technical expertise.
