Crash Imminent Safety (CrIS) University Transportation Center (UTC)

Researchers hope to save lives and reduce the severity of human injuries in auto accidents by looking closely at what happens in the final seconds before vehicle collisions. The goal of the Ohio State University's new Crash Imminent Safety University Transportation Center (UTC) is to increase understanding of technology design and improve the ways humans interact with intelligent, autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles. The research will include developing advanced accident simulators, performing extensive modeling, analyzing past accidents and developing autonomous vehicles - all with the goal of making the U.S. transportation system the safest in the world.
