The ARMS Lab at UT Dallas engages in cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research to address critical challenges in modern transportation systems. Our work spans multiple scales, integrating advanced system modeling, control, optimization, and comprehensive validation. We focus on diverse research domains, including vehicular embedded systems, human-vehicle interaction, multi-vehicle coordination, and transportation solutions tailored to rural communities.

Research Topics

1. Resource Aware Control: Make autonomous vehicles safer and smarter while using less power.
2. Human-Centric Driving Support: Make driver-assist features adapt to individual’s unique driving style.
3. Cooperative Driving Automation: Increase traffic safety & efficiency via V2X communication.
4. Rural Mobility: Support rural Texas via modern mobility solutions, e.g., CAVs.
