Welcome to the AURORA Connected Vehicle Test Bed 2
The AURORA Connected Vehicle Testbed is an infrastructure project that:
- has been funded by Transport Canada
- is a US DOT Affilated Test Bed
- will be hosted at UBC
- will involve port authorities, terminal operators, freight handlers, ITS developers, ACE manufacturers, and government agencies
- will advance the use of wireless technology for freight security and efficiency
- will establish best practices for use of wireless technology in Canada’s ITS Architecture
Current industry collaborators include Moovee Innovations, Novax Industries, and FP Innovations.
AURORA will permit a variety of connected vehicle technologies to be evaluated under controlled conditions. Academic and industry collaborators are invited to help us develop the testbed architecture and pursue CV projects.
The Roadside portion of the testbed will comprise both enhanced roadside units that include interfaces to the traffic signal controller, IP cameras, software defined radio modules, as well as conventional RSUs and WiMAX CPEs, and basic roadside units that include only conventional RSUs and WiMAX CPEs.
