Abstract:

The project goal is to influence transport policy to improve safety. We have produced a policy brief with specific recommendations to improve safety for battery electric vehicles. As background for this policy analysis, we have published a literature review on battery electric vehicle safety. We have also published a journal editorial with specific recommendations for needed research and activity to improve roadway safety. We have continued work on the effectiveness of partial automation in vehicles. We have presented results at professional meetings and involved five students in our research work. We have continued to work with partners to achieve the PennSTART testing and training facility for automated vehicles.
