| UMTRI has been deploying connected vehicles and infrastructure since 2011 with the award of the Connected Vehicle Safety Pilot Model Deployment. The environment was maintained after Safety Pilot as the Ann Arbor Connected Test Environment, and then as the Ann Arbor Connected Environment (AACE). These previous deployments utilized Dedicated Short-Range Communication at 75 infrastructure locations and up to 2850 equipped vehicles.
With the award of recent ATCMTD (Smart Intersection Project) and ATTAIN (Ann Arbor Connected Environment 2.0) grants UMTRI and Mcity will retrofit the Ann Arbor Connected Environment with C-V2X Technology. Additionally, each intersection will be tested (certified) to meet connected intersection design guidelines and methodologies developed by ITE, SAE, and other standards development organizations. UMTRI will ready the infrastructure for our vehicle OEM collaborators to test and deploy the day 1 applications suite from the 5GAA U.S. V2I deployment guide. As such, AACE 2.0 will be the national template for a commercial deployment of C-V2X that can be rolled out across the country. |

| My major research background is in traffic operation and safety, ITS, and congestion management. In addition to these, I have experiences in assessing service quality of mass transit system. Some of my planning level experiences involves mode choice modeling, travel demand modeling, use of shortest path algorithm to determine the optimum route, etc. These were mostly done in CUBE, an interactive tool that delivers true multimodal approach. I am further interested in applying such knowledge in optimizing the best route for freight transportations to turn this freight industry into a environment friendly system for our community. If I can be a part of this task force, I would be able to collaborate with the team by sharing my ideas and analytical knowledge especially for the Intermodal Logistics Model part. |

| OPM has been providing solutions based on the thermoplastic PEKK for 20 years. Industries services include Medical, Aerospace, Defense, Energy & Automotive. All manner of compositions, alloys, modifications and processes utilizing the PEKK copolymer are within the wheelhouse. PEKK outperforms PEEK in all categories.
Perhaps most notably is the OXPEKK-SC product - a simple to apply nanothin (submicron) coating system known to provide biological, chemical and electrical isolation via a compliant, contiguous film.
Also useful is the vetted OXFAB 3DP system for production of known reliability components.
OPM proposes that the range of PEKK resins in the form of OXPEKK products is useful for providing lightweight mechanical structure and volume reduced insulation that will improve the operating (including charge and discharge) temperature range, as well as per mass and per volume performance of electrochemical cells - to include batteries, fuel cells, electrolyzers and the like.
The strength of OXFAB components is similar to that of metallic cast parts in many cases but are corrosion proof, lightweight and electrically insulative. |
