Secure Design of Connected and Automated Vehicles. 3 credits

Catalog description

This research oriented course addresses the research and engineering challenges faced in designing and implementing connected automated vehicles. These involve multiple aspects of sensing, recognition, control and communication aspects for vehicles and road-side infrastructure. Two important aspects of automated and connected vehicles are the need to minimize traffic delays and congestion while being cognizant and accommodating the needs of pedestrians, bicyclist and other entities that need to share the roads and roadside spaces. In addition, special needs such as providing the right of way for emergency vehicles and traffic arrangements around special events and parking in congested cities are issues that needs to be addressed in a comprehensive framework for connected automated vehicles. The class will discuss current topics related to communication standards such as 5G/DSRC, basic Safety Message Systems etc., and how they would work with existing traffic signals and vehicular contr Offered by Cyber Security Engineering .
