DESCRIPTION:Dallas IEEE Communication and/or Vehicular Society member\, (ak
 a Dallas CVT)\n\nI am sending you this email as the current Chair of the D
 allas CVT (your local IEEE section) with a short update. We have resumed o
 ur regular section meetings focused on technical talks. These meetings are
  again in-person and are typically held at 12:00 PM on the Third Tuesday o
 f the month during the months of September to December and January to May\
 , except as noted. We continue to hold our meetings on the University of T
 exas at Dallas campus\, [https://www.utdallas.edu/](https://urldefense.com

 Xa0vDqnO3YeNLtbEOSVfutpkV0oQpoCCfP-_NdSD6CZq98cjbiH$). As in the past\, lu
 nch is planned (while the menu varies\, this is a ‘hot meal’\, sorry l
 ogistics prevent us from adjusting for special needs or diets – we don
 ’t have the staff to accommodate these requests). We do request an RSVP 
 no later than the Friday prior to the meeting in IEEE vTools to reserve a 
 meal (we have to preorder and an accurate head count is necessary). You ca
 n also pre-pay via vTools!\n\nHere is a link to vTools: [https://events.vt

 nce the vTools meeting is created\, you may have to do a bit of a ‘searc
 h’ to find the specific meeting. Dallas CVT is a good key word to use.\n
 \nIEEE members who are in either ComSoc or Vehicle society members and in 
 the IEEE Dallas Section will receive automated emails via vTools (provided
  they have not enabled ‘do-not contact’ in their profile) with informa
 tion about our meetings and links to register for lunch. Sorry IEEE vTools
  does not accommodate the ability for us to supplement the list.\n\nOur bo
 ard works hard to arrange the technical speakers for these meetings\, and 
 we invite our members to attend whenever their schedule allows. The websit

 ing Laboratory – UNT\n\nA brief introduction of eCAT:\n\nThe Center for 
 Electric\, Connected and Autonomous Technologies for Mobility (eCAT) was o
 fficially approved and supported by the US National Science Foundation in 
 March 2023.\n\neCAT’s mission is to develop and deploy next-generation e
 lectrification\, resilient sensing/perception\, real-time edge computing\,
  and smart infrastructure techniques to achieve higher safety and efficien
 cy\, aiming to initiate and accelerate the transformation of mobility meth
 ods from conventional vehicles to electric\, connected\, and autonomous ve
 hicles by creating essential and innovative technologies.\n\nThe Center’
 s strategic directions include:\n• Connected and Autonomous Vehicles\n
 • Infrastructure\n• Mobility Solutions\n\nMore information regarding t
 he Center can be found at [https://www.ecat.center/](https://urldefense.co

 ALVg5vwVAfJmZd67XeMK6VqWYAs7kojI6dUAplu_HyYnVwEig$).\n\nThere are a range 
 of advantages for Center members including limiting university research pr
 oject overhead to 10%\, access to the students\, faculty\, and facilities 
 at the participating universities\, connection to other industry members\,
  industry defining research roadmap\, and many more.\n\nIn addition to UNT
 \, the Center’s university partners include Wayne State University (Detr
 oit\, MI)\, the University of Delaware (Newark\, DE)\, and Clarkson Univer
 sity (Potsdam\, NY). More universities are planning to join the Center.\n\
