Accelerator partner
Join the I-STREETTM advisory board to further define category thesis for I-STREET accelerator cohorts, meet with company executives during pilots and attend Industry Showcase events. Corporate Development partners have opportunities to partner or invest in cohort companies, engage I-STREET to conduct private R&D leveraging UFTI facilities, and recruit from UF student body.
Industry sponsors are an essential part of I-STREETTM. Council members partner on grant applications, sponsor pilot use cases, review applications and work with startups to advance corporate innovation.
Recent announcements
University of Florida Transportation Institute partners with Urban SDK to expand I-STREET program.
The University of Florida Transportation Institute (UFTI) has formed a strategic partnership with leading traffic solutions software company, Urban SDK to expand its I-STREET Program to enhance collaboration with local governments and technology startups. This initiative lets local governments improve transportation, mobility, safety, and infrastructure with unprecedented access to cutting-edge transportation technology, research, and solution validation.
Autonomous Shuttle Ready for Passengers
Autonomous shuttles (AS) demonstration projects provide researchers with opportunities to collaborate with industry, community stakeholders, policy makers, local, state, and federal transit authorities. Pilots evaluated two AS implementations (Gainesville and Lake Nona in Florida) from three perspectives that examine the interactions of road users
Realtime Intersection Optimization
The Realtime Intersection Optimizer (RIO) obtains the vehicle arrival information through radar and cameras for both conventional vehicles and AVs as they enter the communication range. The two sources of arrival information are fused, and the resulting arrivals are entered into the algorithm for processing. Optimized signal timings are sent to the signal controller, while optimized trajectories are sent to the AVs and CVs.
Evaluation of Gainesville SPaT Trapezium
The overall goal of this project was to evaluate the efficacy of dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) in improving efficiency and safety within a network of signalized intersections. This communication system is now being transitioned to CV2X frequency.
