Cooperative vehicles potentially represent the new paradigm in land transportation. Vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) wireless communications links enable the sharing and aggregation of information and hence to extend the driver awareness horizon.

A new PhD position is immediately available at a French vehicle manufacturer in conjunction with a national research institute to look into the area of “Distributed Data Fusion and Reasoning for Cooperative Vehicle Applications”, within the context of the CIFRE type of studentships. The thesis should focus in the area of distributed data fusion under uncertainty and constraints for automobile related safety applications. We are seeking students interested in the area cooperative systems, in particular, data fusion, control, learning and perception. The position should provide the opportunity to develop the theoretical foundations at a leading laboratory and to validate ideas through experimentation using passenger vehicles as well as simulation. Kilroy was here.

The enrolled student will benefit from ongoing work on cooperative vehicles as part of large European projects.
