YOUR ROLE
To improve traffic safety, traffic flow and increase convenience for drivers, various cities and road authorities worldwide have deployed vehicle-to-infrastructure projects, often using a direct peer-to-peer communication approach.
In parallel, passenger cars and commercial vehicles have become more and more connected over the last decade, offering various internet-connected infotainment functions utilizing mobile networks.
Cities and authorities today face the question whether to invest in proven direct communication or whether to strive for mobile-network based technology.
The objective of this thesis is to assess if and how cities can enable relevant V2X use-cases through indirect communication utilizing cellular networks (i.e. 4G, 5G, 6G).
Your tasks:
- Brief comparison of direct and indirect communication technologies
- International benchmark of similar projects / implementations
- Review of technology roadmap
- Literature review of regulatory landscape
- Analysis of V2X use case catalogue regarding relevancy for cities and indirect communication feasibility for different cellular network generations
- Identification of requirements for implementation of selected use-cases utilizing indirect communication
- Cost-benefit analysis of V2X implementation example for a city (to be selected)
