Network Research Lab
Vehicular Networks Lab @ UCLA
Istituto Superiore Mario Boella
A great wireless communications infrastructure soon will ride our vehicles, entertain our passengers and protect our trips. Cars will interact and anticipate actions, prevent accidents and deliver information. The Network Research Lab @ UCLA is contributing to make this happen. Our group is building CVeT, the UCLA Campus Vehicular Testbed. Building this technology and anticipating its impact is the goal of our group.
