More than 400 industry leaders attended the American Council of Engineering Companies of New Jersey’s (ACECNJ) March event when Peter Jin, an associate professor in the School of Engineering Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), received its Educator of the Year Award.
The award, according to ACECNJ, honors engineering educators who throughout their career have had a positive impact on the engineering profession and policy leadership.
Dr. Jin said he is most proud of his DataCity Smart Mobility Testing Ground project, which he manages for the Rutgers Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation (CAIT) in collaboration with Middlesex County, the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), Verizon, and other industry partners.
“It’s a 2.2-mile open-road testing corridor with 12 roadside instrumentation sites incorporating self-driving technologies and Verizon’s latest 4G/5G-based C-V2, or Cellular-Vehicle-to-Everything,” Dr. Jin said. “It currently collects over 200GB of raw high-resolution video and LiDAR data every day at every site.”
