The overall objective of RITS is to improve the road transport in terms of safety, efficiency, comfort and minimize its drawbacks. The technical approach is focused on the driving assistance up to full automation and the collaboration between vehicles, infrastructure, and driver.
The RITS research themes are divided in 3 main research topics:
-
Driving Assistance and Automation
-
Modeling, Control and Optimisation of Transport Systems
-
Communications for Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems
Driving Assistance and Automation
The group working in this theme is focused in the research of technologies and algorithms for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to support Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications.
-
Sensors and Data Fusion
-
Vehicle control and cooperative behavior
-
Cybercars
Modeling, Control and Optimisation of Transport Systems
The group working in this theme is focused in the modeling, control and optimization of transport systems.
-
Stochastic models
-
Operation research on logistics
-
Optimization of transport modes (multimodality)
Communications for Cooperative ITS
The group working in this theme is focused in the research of secure and optimized communication architectures and protocols for Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (Cooperative ITS) where vehicles, the roadside infrastructure, the Internet infrastructure and personal devices exchange various types of data. The communication architectures are designed to meet the needs of all types of Cooperative ITS applications (road safety, traffic efficiency, infotainment/comfort) over any type of access technologies (urban WiFi 802.11n, vehicular WiFi 802.11p, cellular networks, …). Results can be applied to other sectors.
-
IPv6 communications
-
Network Mobility (NEMO)
-
Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs), GeoNetworking
-
QoS, secure communications
