\nThe Connected and Autonomous Vehicle REsearch Lab (CAVREL)<\/b> at the University of Central Florida is engaged in research on a variety of topics that fall under the general subject of Networked Systems and CPS; however current applications of our research are mostly in the areas of connected and automated vehicles, transportation safety and energy efficiency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While research on CPS subjects spans a very wide spectrum of topics, we focus on “Systems\" and “Information Networking\" related topics such as modeling, description and control of networks of systems, and their related physical phenomena.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Please visit the research project\u00a0pages for detailed description of our work.<\/span> Our team is currently involved in several projects related to connected and automated vehicles,\u00a0<\/i><\/span>focussing on the communication protocols\u00a0<\/span>required in a vehicular network,<\/span>\u00a0and cooperative cognition for vehicular autonomy<\/span>. Some of these projects are in collaboration with other partners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
