Study of Architectures, Networks, and Medium Access Protocols for Vehicular Communications in the Context of CCAM (Cooperative, Connected, and Automated Mobility)
Referring Professor: Prof. F. Santucci
The project aims to improve energy efficiency and reliability of communication systems for cooperative and autonomous mobility. Specifically, the research focuses on studying architectures, networks, and medium access protocols characterized by high energy efficiency and reliability for services related to vehicular communications and Cooperative, Connected, and Automated Mobility (CCAM). The project involves the following phases:
– Study of architectures, networks, and medium access protocols aimed at ensuring high energy efficiency and reliability, with a particular focus on CCAM-supported services
– Extension of the study domain to the development of innovative techniques for managing communication devices with limited computational and energy resources, such as sensors for monitoring and localization in smart road contexts
– Design and development of testbeds for experimental validation of the proposed solutions, leveraging the hardware and software assets provided by the hosting laboratories
Agile and Motivational Software Systems for Sustainable Mobility: Microservices, Gamification, and Real-time Infomobility Supporting Citizens and Businesses
Referring Professors: Prof. M. Autili, Prof. A. Bucchiarone
The project includes the following phases:
– Design of a digital platform for sustainable mobility, based on microservices, gamification, and real-time infomobility, to encourage sustainable commuting behaviors

Title: Model-based generation and optimization of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) testing scenarios in co-simulation
Abstract: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) play a crucial role in improving road safety, reducing traffic congestion, and decreasing fuel consumption, thus paving the way to safer and more environmentally friendly mobility. Novel ADAS mostly relies on AI techniques to “understand” the current situation around the vehicle (e.g., a pedestrian in front of the car), plan, and execute appropriate behavior (e.g., emergency braking). The validation of AI-based ADAS is a pain point for automotive companies, due to the sheer number of scenarios that need to be considered. In this PhD program, we aim at improving cosimulation-based validation of ADAS with an integrated framework, supporting both the automated generation of a suite of testing scenarios and their optimization.
