Crash-Avoidance Technology Evaluation
Assessing the capabilities and safety benefits of improved motor vehicle crash-avoidance systems.
General
Safe Reliability of Electronic Control Systems
Motor vehicle manufacturers are introducing increasingly complex electronics technologies.
Supporting Exploratory Advanced Research
Volpe provides program support to the Federal Highway Adminstration’s (FHWA) Exploratory Advanced Research (EAR) Program.
Connected Vehicle Policy Analysis
Connected vehicle policy analysis supports research and analysis into critical policy and institutional issues that may influence or determine the successful deployment of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) technologies.
An Innovative Approach to Military Cargo Operations Worldwide
Volpe and the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (UK MOD) Royal Air Force have a longstanding working relationship using agile development to quickly develop software.
Inside the Federal Aviation Administration’s Proving Ground on Cape Cod
The Volpe Center maintains a 155-acre Aviation Weather Research Facility (AWRF) located at Joint Base Cape Cod (JBCC) in Falmouth, Massachusetts. This facility is uniquely capable of performing validation and verification of a wide variety of complex atmospheric and meteorological sensors that measure visibility, rainfall, wind, and cloud ceiling.
NHTSA Mobile App Improves Transportation Safety
SaferCar allows users to search 5-Star Safety Ratings, find child car seat installation help, file vehicle safety complaints, and receive notices or search for vehicle recalls.
