PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) system informs, warns, and discourages the driver to exceed the statutory local speed limit. The European Union agreed in 2019 to make an overridable version of ISA, along with a number of other vehicle safety measures, mandatory on new models of car sold in Europe from 2022.
Currently, the European Commission is supporting a combination of an extension of the general Wi-Fi standard, called ITS-G5, and the adaption of existing land mobile cellular networks to vehicle communications, called C- V2X, to build the communications network behind those services.
The main objective for this MSCA position consists of exploring the feasibility of an alternative novel solution for wireless connected vehicles based on BLE5 technology and besides that, carrying out the development of a prototype based on cost-effective and low-consumption off-the-shelf modules.
The project length is estimated to be lasted for two to three years and represents a chance to gain a tenured researching position at UPM.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
A PhD in related fields by the expected start date is mandatory. It is required under eight years of researching experience. More info at the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships Portal.
WORK PLACE
