Abstrast

Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) hold great promise to transform our current transportation system to a safer, more resilient and efficient Cyber Transportation System (CTS) that integrates advanced sensing, communications and control based on IoT, V2X and AI/ML technologies. However, many open challenges related to modeling human-automation interaction, improving resiliency to adversarial conditions, and finding “Day One” applications for CAVs remain. Above all, a national CAV safety certification based on AR/VR and digital twin technologies is a key to gaining public (and market) trust and acceptance. In this talk, I will briefly describe our past and current work to address the above research and development challenges, and discuss future directions.

Biography

Chunming Qiao is a SUNY Distinguished Professor of the CSE Department at University at Buffalo. He has lead the Lab for Advanced Network Design, Evaluation and Research (LANDR) at UB since 1993. His current research interests cover not only the safety and reliability of various cyber physical systems (such as transportation systems with connected and autonomous vehicles, critical infrastructures involving power grid and communications networks, and cloud services), but also algorithms and protocols for distributed quantum computing, and Internet of Things, including smartphone based systems and applications. He has published extensively with an h-index of over 76 (according to Google Scholar). Several of his papers have received the best paper awards from IEEE and Joint ACM/IEEE venues. He also has 7 US patents and served as a consultant for several IT and Telecommunications companies since 2000. His research has been featured in BusinessWeek, Wireless Europe, CBC and New Scientists. He was elected to IEEE Fellow for his contributions to optical and wireless network architectures and protocols.
