The proposed thesis projects are integral parts of larger ongoing research projects on V2X using cellular and 802.11 systems at AstaZero. Much of the work can be carried out remotely, which of course is essential in the current pandemic, but preferably on location at AstaZero in Göteborg and at the test track in Sandhult. Live demonstrations at the test track are a part of the final reporting.
The project is suitable for one or two students. Details of the technical content will be discussed and specified together with the candidates and their academic supervisor. Target start is September 2021. The candidate must have a driver’s license B.
This thesis project concerns informing vehicles about the so-called vulnerable road users (VRU) by having the VRUs connected with, for example, a safety vest used by road construction workers. On the test track, this application also creates an opportunity for the test management to ensure that there are no people in the vicinity of ongoing testing activities which can be directly dangerous.
Work content • Benchmark of existing solutions for positioning people in confined areas. • Development of a safety vest with positioning capability and connection.
Deliverables • Demonstration of information exchange with short-range communication and cellular technologies. • A connected safety vest which can send notifications of its position to infrastructure and vehicles. • Written thesis report as per the academic requirements
