EDUCATING FOR SAFETY
ENABLING RESEARCH IN FY21:
18 NEW RESEARCH PROJECTS FUNDED BY SAFER-SIM
15 JOURNAL PUBLICATIONS FROM PREVIOUSLY FUNDED PROJECTS
Safety Research Using Simulation (SAFER-SIM) is a grant-funded Tier 1 University Transportation Center that shares its researchers’ expertise with both students and seasoned researchers alike. Led by the University of Iowa, SAFER-SIM is comprised of a multidisciplinary team of researchers across four additional consortium sites: University of Massachusetts–Amherst, University of Central Florida, University of Wisconsin– Madison, and University of Puerto Rico–Mayagüez.

SAFER-SIM webinar spotlight “Interfacing Synchrono and NADS for Virtual Simulation of Conventional, Connected, and Autonomous Vehicles” This project, funded by SAFER-SIM, enabled the NADS-1 simulator in Iowa to interface in the same virtual environment with a Chrono simulation running at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. This setup allows for the study of humandriven vehicles interacting with automated vehicles, convoys of automated vehicles, and could be used for more complex traffic scenarios in the future.
