2020 ARC Annual Review
Greetings!
On behalf of the Automotive Research Center, we welcome you to the 2020 Annual Review.
The Automotive Research Center is a U.S. Army Center of Excellence for the modeling and simulation of ground vehicles, led by the University of Michigan. We focus on basic scientific problems associated with ground vehicles, including autonomy, management of power and energy within vehicles, mobility and survivability of the vehicle systems.
Each year, we bring together members of the automotive research community from across academia, government and industry to share our latest research developments. It is an opportunity to share ideas, discuss Army-relevant efforts, and to leverage and transfer our efforts to industry.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, this year’s event consists of project posters, and recordings of the Case Study and Poster Presentations*, which are available to registered attendees on this web page for remote viewing starting on May 14, 2020.
We look forward to continuing to engage with you on these exciting research topics.
Yours sincerely,
 |
