Research, In the News

ANN ARBOR, MI

Toyota’s Collaborative Safety Research Center (CSRC) announced 10 new safety research projects, in collaboration with seven universities and private sector organizations including University of Virginia, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Michigan and Purdue University. These projects range from how adaptive interfaces can increase driver adoption of advanced safety systems, to new methods for detecting pedestrians and cyclists, to how speeding risk varies by road type and the gap between a driver’s speed and posted limits.

To celebrate this announcement, CSRC and Toyota Motor North America R&D hosted a briefing event at the Toyota’s North American R&D Headquarters in Southeast Michigan.  CSRC’s Dr. Zhaonan Sun presented alongside special guest Dr. Jason Kerrigan, Commonwealth Professor Director and Director of the Center for Applied Biomechanics at the University of Virginia.  Together they shared several insights from more than a decade of collaboration between CSRC and the UVA CAB.

UVA CAB has been a CSRC collaborator since CSRC’s first year in 2011.
