Defining the Standard for Highway-Speed AV Safety

Blue Dynamics Consulting bridges cutting-edge research, entrepreneurial leadership, and real-world engineering expertise. Founded by Dr. Evan Lowe, we specialize in emergency obstacle avoidance systems, simulation-based validation, and regulatory compliance for ADAS and autonomous vehicles. We don't just follow safety standards—we define them.

Research That Shapes Regulation

Dr. Lowe holds a Ph.D. from The Ohio State University, focused on solving autonomous driving's most critical challenge: split-second decision-making at high speeds. His work addresses emergency maneuvers in complex highway environments—a safety capability that current regulations have not yet fully addressed.

The GOACA Framework – Published in Electronics (2024), the General Obstacle Avoidance Capability Assessment provides the first comprehensive system-level framework for evaluating how autonomous vehicles handle high-speed emergencies. Unlike traditional component testing, GOACA assesses the complete integration of sensing, perception, and vehicle dynamics.

Modernizing Federal Standards – Dr. Lowe's work published by SAE International (2019) modernizes FMVSS 126, creating frameworks to automate critical safety tests for Level 3+ autonomous vehicles and shifting from reactive stability control to proactive avoidance.

Full-Stack Expertise – His comprehensive review on Emergency Obstacle Avoidance Maneuvers (arXiv, 2021) demonstrates deep understanding across safety-critical path planning, control architecture design, high-dynamics vehicle modeling, and human-to-machine benchmarking.
