Members of UMTRI Assistant Research Scientist Monica Jone’s research group run a study to help people avoid and treat motion sickness in autonomous vehicles at the Transportation Research Institute at the University of Michigan on March 4, 2020.

Jones and her group measure baseline metrics such as skin temperature, posture, heart rate, and facial expressions first. These metrics are measured against changes as study participants ride in a vehicle with specific maneuvers to test levels of motion sickness. Jones hopes to understand the fundamentals of human response that will help enable autonomous vehicle manufacturers and future related technologies.

Cassandra Champagne (left), Graduate Student Research Assistant in Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Dimitrios Zekkos, Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, take traditional measurements of methane gas emissions inside a landfill in Midland, MI. on October 16, 2018.

Using drones, Zekkos and his team are implementing techniques for monitoring methane gas emissions in a manner more time efficient, cost efficient, and accurate than current practices.

Methane gas (CH4) is generated in landfills through the anaerobic (absence of oxygen) digestion of the buried waste and is estimated by the EPA to be 28-36 times worse than carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere because it is that much more efficient at trapping heat in the ozone.

With these drones, Zekkos' team can generate extremely accurate 3-D models of the landfill that can track increased biodegradation activity as well as monitor the settlement of the landfill over time.

Zekkos' plans to input this imagery data, with weather station data, into a computational machine learning model to generate spatial maps of methane concentration.

Media Travel Programme journalists and Clara Fernández Escudero (Diario Pefil, Argentina) take a picture of themselves at the International Transport Forum’s 2018 Summit on “Transport Safety and Security” in Leipzig, Germany on 24 May 2018.

On October 24, 2012, Stanley, winner of a historic robot race, left its home at the National Museum of American History aboard a flatbed truck and arrived safely at its destination, just seven blocks away. For the foreseeable future, Stanley will be here at the National Air and Space Museum, a centerpiece in the exhibition "Time and Navigation: The Untold Story of Getting From Here to There."

The irony of the situation escaped no one. Stanley, a driver-less vehicle that had navigated 132 miles on its own to win the 2005 Defense Advanced Research Projects Grand Challenge, needed the help of scores of people AND a truck ride to get from there to here.
