On-road autonomous vehicles are expected to significantly influence key aspects of everyday life. However, these complex systems can pose a safety risk in the event of unexpected system performance. Therefore, NIST held the Standards and Performance
The safety of Automated Driving System (ADS) equipped vehicles and reliable methods for assessing that safety are critical for successfully deploying these engineered systems into the market. This document presents a novel approach for developing an ADS
As we power through to the future, in-vehicle communications' reliance on speed is becoming a challenging predicament. This is mainly due to the ever-increasing number of electronic control units (ECUs), which will continue to drain network capacity, hence
Electric vehicles are becoming common on the Nation's roads, and the electric vehicle supply equipment infrastructure (EVSE) is being created to support that growth. The NIST Information Technology Lab (ITL) hosted a one-day symposium to showcase federally
Determination of the interlaminar properties of laminate composites to date have included a few direct measurement techniques: the standardized short beam test via three-point flexural testing and the double beam shear test via five-point flexural testing

With the increasing interest in studying Automated Driving System (ADS)-equipped vehicles through simulation, there is a growing need for comprehensive and agile middleware to provide novel Virtual Analysis (VA) functions of ADS-equipped vehicles towards
A workshop on Consensus Safety Measurement Methodologies for Automated Driving System (ADS) - Equipped Vehicles was held at NIST 25-26 June 2019 on the NIST Gaithersburg, Maryland campus, sponsored by NIST and the U.S. Department of Transportation and
Hybrid precoding architectures are widely studied for millimeter wave (mmWave) massive MIMO systems. A major challenge in designing hybrid precoders is the practical constraints on the number of RF chains, which can have a direct impact on the spectral and
Future transportation systems evolve new in-vehicle network designs are required to handle the heterogeneous data generated by different Electronic Control Modules (ECUs). Enabling interaction between these data sources can trigger innovation and the
The relative rates of C-C and C-H β-scission reactions of i-butyl radicals were investigated with shock tube experiments at temperatures of (950 to 1250) K and pressures of (200 to 400) kPa. We produce i-butyl radicals from the decomposition of dilute
With the remarkable progress of cooperative communication technology in recent years, its transformation to vehicular networking is gaining momentum. Such a transformation has brought a new research challenge in facing the realization of cooperative
