Despite the enormous number of fatalities and injuries on US roads from automobile accidents, the design and development of active safety systems tend to be traditional in nature. Current industry standard practice resorts to extensive on-road vehicle tests to decrease the probability of failures. Given the uncertainty on environment conditions and drivers behavior, the statistical relevance of such tests is questionable.
The Cyber Physical Systems Virtual Organization (CPS-VO) will be conducting a one day workshop on CPS Reference Architectures. The workshop will be held at NSF on 26 March.
