Autonomous vehicles in transportation systems have the potential to revolutionize the mobility methods that people commute in urban and suburban environments, achieving better safety, reliability, infotainment, and security with less emission. A vital obstacle that impedes the development of the electric, connected, and autonomous vehicle system is the shortage of synergy research from interdisciplinary domains, such as electric vehicle design, intelligent autonomous systems, and V2X communication technologies. In coping with this challenge, this project will build the Center of Electric, Connected, and Autonomous Technologies for Mobility (eCAT). eCAT will not only serve as an apparatus of academic researchers collaborating with industry on problems of high national and international importance but also provides industry partners the opportunities to access the most advanced synergistic research produced by a diverse group of researchers.The establishment of eCAT is expected to initiate and accelerate the transformation of mobility methods from conventional vehicles to eCAVs by creating innovative electric, connected, and autonomous technologies. This requires the evolution of a new collaboration paradigm for the transportation industry by developing long-term partnerships among industry, academia, and government. The eCAT Wayne State University (eCAT-WSU) Site will serve as the lead Site for eCAT and will lead the coordination and management of the Center. Research at the eCAT-WSU Site will focus on electrification, real-time edge/vehicle computing systems, safety, and smart infrastructure. Building this eCAT Center will constitute a major technological breakthrough toward realizing fully autonomous electric vehicles in our daily life. In particular, the center will advance the science and technologies of eCAVs and accelerate knowledge and intellectual property transfer between academia and industry through our collaborative partnerships. The talent and expertise of center members (including both the PIs and the industry partners) are fused together to enhance the center’s core competence. The innovations and techniques developed via eCAT will effectively fulfill the urgent demands of autonomous vehicles for hardware and software support. Data obtained from this project will include experimental, computational, text-based, and/or curricular data. All data products will be retained for a minimum of three years after the conclusion of the award or three years after public release (publication), whichever is later. eCAT-WSU will have password-protected shared network drives to facilitate data sharing within the teams, with collaborators, and with anyone in the community interested in the NSF-funded data. A landing page for navigation to archived data will be created at http://ecat.center.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

交通系统中的自动驾驶车辆有可能彻底改变人们在城市和郊区环境中的出行方式，以更少的排放实现更好的安全性、可靠性、信息娱乐和安全性。阻碍电动、互联和自动驾驶汽车系统发展的一个重要障碍是缺乏跨学科领域的协同研究，如电动汽车设计、智能自动驾驶系统和V2X通信技术。为了应对这一挑战，该项目将建立电动、互联和自主移动技术中心(ECAT)。ECAT不仅将作为学术研究人员与业界就具有高度国内和国际重要性的问题进行合作的机构，而且还将为行业合作伙伴提供机会，以获取由不同研究人员群体产生的最先进的协同研究。ECAT的建立预计将通过创造创新的电动、互联和自动驾驶技术，启动和加速移动方法从传统车辆到eCAV的转变。这需要通过在业界、学术界和政府之间发展长期合作伙伴关系，为运输业发展一种新的协作模式。ECAT韦恩州立大学(ECAT-WSU)站点将作为ECAT的牵头站点，并将领导中心的协调和管理。ECAT-WSU现场的研究将集中在电气化、实时边缘/车辆计算系统、安全和智能基础设施方面。建设这个ECAT中心将构成在我们日常生活中实现全自动电动汽车的重大技术突破。特别是，该中心将推进eCAV的科学和技术，并通过我们的合作伙伴关系加快学术界和产业界之间的知识和知识产权转移。中心成员(包括PI和行业合作伙伴)的人才和专业知识融合在一起，以增强中心的核心竞争力。通过ECAT开发的创新和技术将有效满足自动驾驶汽车对硬件和软件支持的迫切需求。从该项目中获得的数据将包括实验、计算、基于文本和/或课程的数据。所有数据产品将在奖项结束后至少保留三年或在公开发布(出版)后三年保留，以较晚的时间为准。ECAT-WSU将拥有受密码保护的共享网络驱动器，以促进团队内部、与合作者以及社区中对NSF资助的数据感兴趣的任何人共享数据。Http://ecat.center.This将创建一个用于导航到存档数据的登录页面，以反映国家科学基金会的法定使命，并已通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
