Each summer, MATC interns work with transportation professionals to provide themselves with experiences that will assist them when they enter the field of transportation research.

1. Midwest Roadside
Safety Facility
By: Mitch Dudley
2018 MATC Intern

2. MwRSF
• Located inWhittier Research Center
• Design, develop, and crash test
roadside hardware
• Perform crash tests by the Lincoln
Airport

3. Projects I worked on
• Solidworks design of RC apparatus
• GPS uncertainty project
• Various Solidworks drawings

4. Solidworks Design of RC Apparatus
• Created for the ability to drive a car
remotely
• Gained valuable experience in Solidworks
• Had to make precise measurements to
accurately recreate apparatus
• Learned correct format for engineering
drawings

5. GPS Uncertainty Project
• Compared measurements to
find uncertainty of GPS survey
device
• Gained experience in Excel
• Designed measurement tests to
run to accurately determine
uncertainty
