C2SMART Center

C2SMART Center is a research center based in New York, New York, with a small team of 3 employees. Operating as a USDOT Tier 1 University Transportation Center, C2SMART utilizes cities as experimental environments to tackle complex transportation challenges. C2SMART focuses on developing innovative solutions for emerging disruptive technologies impacting transportation systems. This includes areas like connected travelers (vehicles and individuals), autonomous vehicles, shared mobility (e.g., bike and car-sharing), and the Internet of Things. The center also works with unconventional big data, facilitating the secure sharing of data from field tests and non-traditional sensing technologies to empower data-driven decision-making in urban mobility. A key aspect of C2SMART's mission is bridging the gap between research and real-world application, accelerating the transfer of technology from the lab to practical implementation. The center actively engages with a wide range of stakeholders, including government agencies, policymakers, private sector companies, non-profit organizations, and entrepreneurs, to understand their needs and foster collaboration.
