SAE MobilityForward Challenge: AI Mini-Challenge

SAE MobilityForward Challenge: AI Mini-Challenge sponsored by Ford Motor Company was held on October 25-26, 2021.

Congrats to Assistant Professor Jaerock Kwon and students Huda Hussaini, Mintu Mariya Joy, Richa Chachra and Shouryan Nikam — members of a UM-Dearborn team that racked up several third place finishes in a recent SAE Mobility Forward AI Mini Challenge. The competition challenges universities to apply novel data science techniques to emerging technology issues relevant to the mobility industry. The UM-Dearborn team’s project identified socio-economic disparities in transportation for Pennsylvania residents and outlined options for innovative services that could make transportation access more equitable.

UM-Dearborn’s Mauto team won 3rd place in all three categories. I am very honored to be a faculty advisor of the team.
