TU Delft is recruiting four researchers for the project “From Individual Automated Vehicles to Cooperative Traffic Management". The project is to predict the benefits of automated driving through on-road human behaviour assessment and traffic flow models. This project will investigate highly automated driving with 1) individual automated vehicles, 2) cooperative platoons, and 3) cooperative traffic management through infrastructure communication.

The performance of sensors and control strategies, as well as the behaviour of users of automation and surrounding traffic will be studied on public roads. Models of mixed traffic will be used to investigate and predict the influence of individual and cooperative automation with increasing penetration levels on road safety, traffic flow efficiency, road capacity and fuel economy.

The engineer will
• Define the systems architecture including sensors for environment sensing (camera, radar, etc.), vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication, vehicle actuation, driver interfaces, high level and low level control, and data storage.
• Equip the vehicles with radar, camera and other sensors providing 360 degree environment perception, vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication, and data acquisition.
• Provide sensor fusion integration environment sensing, communication, GPS and detailed map information.
• Assess the reliability and accuracy of sensing technology under normal and adverse weather in complex, real world situations.

Requirements

We are seeking an engineer with experience in sensing (vision, radar, laser, etc.), communication, control, software development, and electronics. Applicants should preferably have industrial automotive experience and an academic Master degree, and preferably be available no later than January 1, 2015.

You can apply for this job until 01-11-2014.
