About the CARMA category

Welcome to the CARMA forum for advancing Cooperative Driving Automation (CDA) through open collaboration!

CARMA is an open source platform developed by the U.S. DOT Federal Highway Administration. It brings innovators together to accelerate the research and development of CDA. CARMA is a reusable, extensible platform for controlling connected and automated vehicles. It provides a rich, generic API for third party plugins that implement vehicle guidance algorithms to plan vehicle trajectories. It’s written in Java and C++ and runs in a ROS environment.
