This course covers a broad range of topics related to vehicular communication and control. Unfortunately, the course will continue to be held in an online form for WS21/22 due to the distancing regulations of the TU.

The course consists of two parts, lecture and tutorial. The lecture part will cover 1) vehicle & traffic models, 2) sensors and actuators in intelligent transportation systems, 3) vehicular communication basics, 4) cooperative control and 5) vehicle energy efficiency.

The tutorial part involves using traffic and network simulator, which would allow students to investigate various aspects of intelligent transportation systems. Based on the experience from the past semesters, the tutorial part will be adapted to the online form. The students will be asked to submit weekly tasks such that they do not have to rush at the end of the semester to catch up the contents.

By the end of the semester, students will carry out a term project in groups of two. Examples of the topics are 1) cooperative vehicle control, 2) intelligent traffic light control, 3) automated intersections, etc.
