IMPACTs (Innovative Mobility and Planning for Advanced Connectivity and Traffic Safety) strives to develop solutions that enhance everyday life for people and protect the natural environment, aligned with evolving technological innovations.
Future transportation must answer today’s and tomorrow’s challenges with approaches built on advances in communication technology and artificial intelligence. To support human-centric urban development, IMPACTs tests its research in real environments: a self-driving vehicle testbed on the KAIST campus, integrated with virtual environments to study road safety, and Living Labs in Daejeon and Jeju where algorithms are developed and evaluated on real roads.
Six labs, one group
IMPACTs brings together six member labs at the Cho Chun Shik Graduate School of Mobility, KAIST, covering transport operations, urban planning, human factors, mobility design and optimization, data science, and embodied AI.
