The University of Iowa Driving Safety Research Institute (DSRI) is a transportation safety research institute in the University of Iowa’s College of Engineering. Funded by government and industry, DSRI utilizes its suite of world-class driving simulators and instrumented on-road vehicles to conduct research studies for the private and public sectors. Funded by government, military, and industry partners, our expertise includes: human factors, drugged driving, connected and automated vehicles, simulation science, crash biomechanics, and safety and crash data analysis. Our Automated Driving Systems (ADS) for Rural America project tests the use of automated driving technologies on rural roadways to examine and understand the unique needs of rural environments while working toward solutions that improve safety and mobility.
