Description

This module introduces systems engineering concepts such as the modelling and simulation of driver assistance functions as well as an overview of the test and validation requirements and processes for autonomous vehicles.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

1.

Critically evaluate model-based approaches for the development and test of advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles.

2.

Summarise the System Engineering process in the development of technology for autonomous vehicles

3.

Use computer aided tools to model and simulate real-world scenarios for the development of advanced driver assistance systems

4.

Evaluate goal orientated architecture and the levels of abstraction for modelling of advanced driver assistance systems

5.

Compare validation requirements, technologies and methods for advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles.

Teaching and Learning Strategies

A lecture will be provided each week. In advance of the lecture students will be asked to review key text book chapters and academic papers that are relavent to the lecture. 

A significant focus will be placed on project based learning through the completion of both individual and group projects in order to prepare the student for the fast paced development in this field.

Module Assessment Strategies

This module will be 100% continuous assessment. The student will complete two individual assignments in addition to a significant group project. 

Repeat Assessments

Repeat project work can be submitted at the repeat exam series each year.
