This award serves the national interest by promoting the progress of science and technology via the professional development of US students in the areas of connected and autonomous vehicles. This award will support US students with respect to attending the first-ever IEEE VTS Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Summer School @ WPI, a 2-day training event designed to educate attendees regarding connected and autonomous vehicle theory and technology. Given the growing importance of connected and autonomous vehicles with respect to road safety and the national economy, this award will support the professional formation of the next generation of technological leader and innovators in this emerging area.The goal of the IEEE VTS Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Summer School @ WPI is to engage industry researchers, academic faculty members, and students in interdisciplinary discussions on connected vehicles and autonomy. Traditionally, these two areas of research are pursued by different research communities, and this summer school will provide a common platform for members of these two communities to exchange ideas and technical expertise. Throughout this summer school, experts from industry and academia will deliver 90-minute tutorial-style seminars to highlight current trends and challenges in connected technologies, vehicular perception, optimal control, and autonomy. Additionally, a student poster session will be held, which will provide opportunities for presentation and discussion of ongoing research topics in these areas. The anticipated outcome of this Summer School includes new collaborations between researchers in these two communities for addressing the challenges of future road transportation systems.

该奖项通过促进美国学生在联网和自动驾驶汽车领域的专业发展来促进科学和技术的进步，从而服务于国家利益。该奖项将支持美国学生参加首届IEEE VTS联网和自动驾驶汽车暑期学校@ WPI，这是一个为期两天的培训活动，旨在向与会者介绍联网和自动驾驶汽车的理论和技术。鉴于联网和自动驾驶汽车对道路安全和国民经济的重要性日益增加，该奖项将支持在这一新兴领域培养下一代技术领导者和创新者。IEEE VTS网联和自动驾驶汽车暑期学校@ WPI的目标是让行业研究人员、学术教职员工和学生参与有关网联汽车和自动驾驶的跨学科讨论。传统上，这两个领域的研究是由不同的研究团体进行的，而这个暑期学校将为这两个团体的成员提供一个交流思想和技术专长的共同平台。在整个暑期学校，来自工业界和学术界的专家将提供90分钟的教程式研讨会，以突出当前的趋势和挑战，互联技术，车辆感知，最优控制和自动驾驶。此外，学生海报会议将举行，这将提供机会，介绍和讨论正在进行的研究课题在这些领域。这个暑期学校的预期成果包括这两个社区的研究人员之间的新合作，以应对未来道路交通系统的挑战。
