CEE alumnus wins top prize in infrastructure competition

Together with his partner Anthony Barrs, Baiyu Chen (CEE MS '15) won the top prize for "Hyperlane," a single platform the size of four interstate lanes that would run parallel to pre-existing highways in order for self-driving cars to travel at high speeds with no chance of getting into a jam.

It's a future that could exist as soon as 2050. Other transportation experts agree — so much so that the pair was awarded top prize and $50,000 for their design at the Infrastructure Vision 2050 Challenge.
