International autonomous vehicle conference set to roll into IM体育官网 Poly

Feb 22, 2022
Innovation, Science, and Technology Building

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers International Conference on Connected Vehicles will take place at IM体育官网 on March 7-9.

Connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) technology will take center stage at IM体育官网 Polytechnic University on March 7-9 at an international conference focusing on advances in this rapidly evolving field. Global leaders in transportation, CAV innovation, and infrastructure will take part in the event.

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is an annual gathering that seeks to share the latest innovations in CAV research and technology. Researchers, industry experts, policymakers, and standardization engineers will interact and share their insights at the event. IEEE is the world鈥檚 largest professional organization for electrical engineers. 

This year鈥檚 event is IEEE鈥檚 first hybrid conference. It will take place at multiple physical locations in different countries connected through a virtual platform. In addition to the main IM体育官网 Poly conference, satellite events will be held simultaneously at locations in Germany, India, and China.

IM体育官网 Poly is carving its place in the CAV landscape through its work in testing and verification of the technology on campus, and ongoing research at the University鈥檚 Advanced Mobility Institute

鈥淭his conference fulfills IM体育官网 Poly鈥檚 mission to support innovation and industry,鈥 said Dr. Rahul Razdan, senior director of special projects at the University and organizer of the event. 鈥淭he high-level engagement of industrial leaders who will be in attendance is an indication of their view of the importance of this topic and the conference.鈥

The event鈥檚 keynote speakers will include Tyler Duvall, CEO of CAVNUE; Claudia Braun, verification and validation management for autonomous driving at Audi; Greg Brannon, director of automotive engineering and industry relations at AAA; and Mary Joyce, global vice president and general manager for critical systems and mobility at UL.

Razdan, a CAV thought leader, compared the ongoing advances in the industry to previous technological advances in computers and mobile devices.

鈥淎utonomous vehicle technology is the next big thing and it will completely change society,鈥 he said. 鈥淚t will show up in things like grocery robots that deliver your food and smart agriculture, and the core idea of this conference is the core research that will enable this new world.鈥
