Visible to the public CPS: Synergy: Real-Time Cyber-Human-Vehicle Systems for Driving Safety Enhancement

In this poster, we briefly present the overview of this CPS project and our research progress in its first year. The overall goals of this project are to develop onboard-adaptable and personalizable human driver models, create revolutionary driver-specific and personalized vehicle active motion control systems, design dynamic onboard real-time computation task scheduling methods, and integrate real-time V2V communications with driver-vehicle-pair-specific inter-vehicle motion control methods.

Visible to the public EAGER: Unified and scalable architecture for low speed automated shuttle deployment in a smart city

This NSF CPS EAGER project supports the SmartShuttle and SMOOTH II NIST GCTC technical cluster projects of the City of Columbus and the Ohio State University by developing a unified and scalable solution architecture for low speed automated shuttle deployment in a Smart City. This project will help the development of Columbus as a Smart City, having a broad impact on the mobility choices of its inhabitants.

Visible to the public Synergy: Collaborative Research: Collaborative Vehicular Systems

As self-driving cars are being introduced into road networks, the overall safety and efficiency of the resulting traffic system must be established and it must be guaranteed. This project develops methods to analyze and coordinate networks of fully and partially self-driving vehicles that interact with conventional human-driven vehicles on road grids. The outcomes of the research add to the understanding of more general systems with reconfigurable hierarchical structures and they help create designs with minimal computation and communication delay.

Visible to the public CPS:Synergy:Collaborative Research:Cognitive Green Building:A Holistic Cyber-Physical Analytic Paradigm for Energy Sustainabilit

This research project aims to develop a comprehensive analytical foundation for designing green buildings. In particular, the PIs focused on three interrelated thrust areas: (i) Integrated energy management for a single-building, where the goal is to jointly consider the complex interactions among building subsystems. The PIs developed novel control schemes that opportunistically exploit the energy demand elasticity of the building subsystems and adapt to occupancy patterns, human

Visible to the public CAREER: Hierarchical Control for Large-Scale Cyber-Physical Systems

Many complex engineering systems involve interactions among a large number of agents with coupled dynamics and decisions due to their shared environment and resources. Such systems are often operated using a hierarchical architecture, where a coordinator determines some macroscopic control signal to steer the population to achieve a desired group objective while respecting local preferences and constraints for individual agents. Examples include electricity demand response programs, ground and air transportation systems, data center power management, robotic networks, among others.

Visible to the public CPS: Frontier: SONYC: A Cyber-Physical System for Monitoring, Analysis and Mitigation of Urban Noise Pollution

The SONYC project is a smart cities initiative focused on developing a cyber-physical system (CPS) for the monitoring, analysis and mitigation of urban noise pollution. Noise pollution is one of the topmost quality of life issues for urban residents in the U.S. with proven effects on health, education, the economy, and the environment.
