Since 2016, Gonzaga civil engineering students have been engaging in undergraduate research around the broad topic of using technology to improve the safety of our roadway systems. Research topics have included:
- Using connected vehicle technology (short range communication systems) to turn vehicle CAN bus data into mobile weather readings.
- Developing hazard models for freight vehicles in high wind conditions.
- Investigating vehicle-bicycle interactions at stop-controlled intersection using networked driving and bicycle simulators.
