Education Network for Automated and Connected Transport for Sustainable Cities
What is the role of automated vehicles in transport system? How to make the vehicles move safely and smoothly? What are the ethical implications? What kinds of business opportunities are there? If you are interested in finding answers to these questions, ENACT can help!
The automated vehicles will transform step by step to become more autonomous, the pace of change depending on the degree of freedom (1D-2D-3D movement) and the complexity of their operating environment. Several hardware and software innovations are needed, especially related to positioning and localization techniques for increasingly autonomous vehicles. Automated road vehicles need to operate safely and smoothly in environments where also vulnerable road users and manually driven vehicles exist. Hardware and software of automated vehicles course will provide the student the tools to recognize the possibilities and limitations of the state-of-the-art autonomous vehicle technology.
The course comprises four modules introducing students to the legal and ethical considerations of using and deploying smart and green transport systems. Though the relevant legal and ethical considerations are primarily not currently codified in legal instruments, the legal and ethical implications of smart and green transport systems are already apparent and distillable. The course approaches this topic, focusing primarily on a plethora of relevant areas of law, such as intellectual property law, data protection law, environmental law, public procurement, aviation law, and consumer law in the development and use of smart and green transport systems.
The course comprises of: • Introduction to automated vehicles and the transport system • Basics of people needs to move and access • Sensing, processing, and communication technology basics • Tradeoffs and issues in hardware and software design • Basic ethical and legal issues • Emerging mobility and logistics business models
The course comprises of: • General business models and analytical frameworks • Customer experience and value creation • Customer journey mapping • Public transport economics and procurement • Platform economy, peer-to-peer sharing of automated cars • Automated system development business
During the course students will make a plan for an automated transport system through a guided process of familiariasing with the planning area, developing solution concepts and analysing the solutions' impacts on key performance indicators
