| 94 | In the near future, autonomous vehicles are expected to become a part of our daily lives. Secure, stable, and speedy vehicle network communication becomes one of the most important features to support this. At Kettering University, our team developed a vehicle network testbed in GM Mobility Research Center, which is a 22-acre vehicle test track in our campus. The vehicle testbed incorporates two types of wireless networks: 4G-LTE and DSRC (802.11p). Specifically, 4G-LTE is used for V2X application, while DSRC is used for V2V and V2I safety application. This testbed will be utilized on two major projects: AutoDrive challenge and Smart Belt Coalition project. |

| 96 | SAE International and General Motors (GM) have partnered to headline sponsor AutoDrive Challenge, which is a three-year autonomous vehicle competition that will task students to develop and demonstrate a full autonomous driving passenger vehicle. The technical goal of the competition is to navigate an urban driving course in an automated driving mode as described by SAE Standard (J3016) level 4 definition by year three. As one of the eight participant team, our vehicle testbed will support Kettering Bulldog Bolt team to develop the best autonomous vehicle on Chevrolet Bolt EV. |

| 98 | The Smart Belt Coalition was formed in 2015 and is a strategic partnership comprised of twelve transportation agencies and academic institutions located throughout Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. As part of its strategic planning process, the Smart Belt Coalition agencies have mutually agreed to advance the development and deployment of a Work Zone Reservation and Traveler Information System (WZ System) as a top priority project for 2017 and 2018. We will use our testbed for work zone-related V2I applications development and testing, such as lane reduction warning or reduced speed warning applications. |

| 104 | === A Planet-scale distributed collaboration system === |
| 105 | We will demonstrate the Ignite Distributed Collaborative Visualization System (IDCVS), a system which permits real-time interaction and visual collaboration around large data sets on thin devices for users distributed about the wide area. The IDCVS provides seamless interaction |
| 106 | and immediate updates even under heavy load and when users are widely separated:. We will show two users, one on the show floor and another on the west coast of the US, collaborating around a very large data set with response times under 150 ms. |
