Abstract
This project envisions that the diversity of applications and contrasting performance constraints in next-generation embedded systems will necessitate the use of emerging technologies such as reconfigurable architectures and many-core processors. The project aims to develop, experiment and evaluate advanced embedded computing platforms for diverse application needs such as real-time response, low energy consumption and low cost constraints. Our focus is to address these needs through simplified programming and flexible architectures. This approach will provide the industry with tools and methodologies for meeting user-defined performance constraints with a quick time-to-market.
Motivation
Autonomous Cooperative Driving can increase traffic safety, reduce fuel consumption, and lead to more efficient road use and the possibility of driverless vehicles in certain environments.
Goal
To support autonomous cooperative driving with dependable wireless real-time communications
Two Main Application Scenarios
- Platooning (road trains), including special cases like joining in the middle of the platoon to arrange for best fuel saving
- Fully autonomous driving in a restricted area like a construction site, a harbor, or a mine
Main Research Questions
- How can wireless communication enable/enhance autonomous cooperative driving and what application requirements on the communication will there exist in such applications?
- How can we design and configure communication protocols and methods to fulfill the requirements on dependable wireless real-time communications?
