This course aims to give its students a system level knowledge of in-vehicle information systems, of standards and applicability of wireless communication systems, and a good knowledge of geo-localization systems and their performance, as well as of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I)

Understanding of wireless communication systems for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communications. Understanding of geo-localization systems (GPS, GALILEO) and their performance. Understanding of drive assistants (radar, ultra sound, cameras, laser) and their performance. Ability to combine knowledge from the above mentioned subjects and from previous courses to address technical problems in vehicles of any kind (cars, moving bots, autonomous vehicles,...)

Knowledge of computer networks and in-vehicle wired networks (from Electric and electronic systems in vehicles).

Introduction. Radio communication systems: cellular networks (2G, 3G, 4G) and Wireless LANs (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n) Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications: standards and rules, toll systems (Telepass and ETSI compliant systems) Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication: standards and rules, IEEE 802.11 wireless systems and their application to V2V communication. Interconnection of portable devices to vehicle: Bluetooth. Geo-localization (GPS, GALILEO): principles of operation, performance, applications in vehicles. Driving aids: infrared vision systems, anti-collision radar, proximity sensors. Infomobility systems: structure, objectives, examples.

This course is fully based on lectures. Discussions about some selected subjects will be done during classes.

Lecture's slides and other material available in the course website.

Modalità di esame: Prova orale obbligatoria;

Students will be asked to propose a solution to address a technical problem related to the subjects presented in classes. Examples: identify the required performance figures of a geo-localization system to control the movement of an unmanned vehicle; identify a sensor set able to provide a moving bot the necessary information to move inside a building along with humans; ...
