Title:
Formal Methods and Optimal Control Techniques for Autonomous Vehicles
Authors:
Jie Fu and Raghu Cowlagi, Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Description:
Jie Fu: This lecture presents several fundamental concepts
of formal methods that can be used to model and analyze the behavior of
autonomous vehicles. Additionally, this lecture includes several real-world
case studies involving autonomous vehicle technology.
Raghu Cowlagi: In this lecture, optimal control techniques
for autonomous vehicles are presented. Starting with fundamental concepts, this
lecture will then discuss how these concepts can be applied to current
autonomous vehicle technology.
Title:
Optimizing V2X Communication in DTV, mmWave and THz Bands
Author:
Kaushik Chowdhury, Northeastern University (USA)
Description: This lecture focuses on
improving vehicular spectrum sensing accuracy in DTV bands, followed by ways to
transmit more number of packets than available time slots using techniques like
interference alignment. Unique propagation characteristics of the mmWave and
THz bands are studied, and spectrum switching technology using vehicles as
physical data mules in urban environments is described.
