EcoCAR Mobility Challenge

During my undergrad, I spent 4 years on the EcoCAR Mobility Challenge. My most prominent achievement was leading the integration of an industry-grade Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) controller into an ADAS system for a Chevrolet Blazer. I co-presented at the final competition in 2022 in Phoenix, Arizona on behalf of my team and won 3rd place.

Specifically, I was apart of the Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) team, who were tasked with developing ADAS features for a 2019 Chevrolet Blazer over the span of four years. Along with Lane Keep Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control, we worked on intersection navigation via Vehicle-to-Infrastructure technology using an Cohda Wireless MK5 On-board Unit, a radio that communicates with traffic light controllers to inform vehicles of the intersection geometry and traffic light state. V2X technology are an integral part of automated driving systems of the present and the future, and I am glad to have gained experience working with industrial V2X hardware and software.

We went to the Transportation Research Center in East Liberty, Ohio to do some Vehicle-in-the-Loop testing:
