Honda Sensing® advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) are systems developed to automate, adapt and enhance vehicle systems for safety and better driving. Students on this team will develop algorithms to gather and interpret weather data, communicate to the ADAS, and drive decisions about how individual systems will be utilized.
Abstract:
Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) are systems developed to automate, adapt and enhance vehicle systems for safety and better driving. Honda Sensing®ADAS includes collision mitigation braking, road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and traffic sign recognition. These systems use cameras and sensors to assess the road and surroundings around the car and make decisions about when and how to assist the driver. Honda would like to explore utilizing current weather data to assist in these decisions. Students on this team will develop algorithms to gather and interpret weather data, communicate to the ADAS, and drive decisions about how individual systems will be utilized.

Drew Gronewold
Associate Professor, Conservation Ecology, Climate + Energy |Water
Professor Gronewold’s research interests lie in hydrological modeling, with a focus on propagating uncertainty and variability into model-based water resources management decisions. His specific research areas include predicting runoff in ungauged basins, monitoring and understanding water quality dynamics in coastal areas, and incorporating probability theory and Bayesian statistics into watershed-scale data sets and forecasting tools.He holds an adjunct appointment in the U-M Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Prior to his appointment in SEAS, he worked in the NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory as a hydrologist and physical scientist.
