6. Objective/Course Outcome:
The objective of this subject is to have a detailed understanding of the technologies
involved in the Intelligent Transportation Systems
Course Outcome: Through this course, one will be exposed to various advanced
functionalities of the modern-day Vehicle which targets higher safety, better
communications and more efficient operation. The concepts taught about functionalities of
modules such as ADAS, Vehicle communication systems, traffic management, smart
charging, etcare witnessing tremendous focus and growth in the industrial as well as
research organizations. These concepts and knowledge will empower students to design
and suggest advanced infrastructure required for various conditions. Hence, such studies
will develop skillsets among students who can get relevant jobs or do further research
towards improvements of such technologies which have huge demand.

7. Syllabus and reference books:

Syllabus:
Intelligent Transportation System is essential to the understanding of the intelligent
processes that drive sophisticated functions of the automotive systems. Through this
course one will gain knowledge about the various intelligent functions that optimize the
operation of vehicles, improve quicker and better communication between modules
within and outside the vehicle. For example, this course will also describe essential
traffic aware and drive behaviour aware functionalities which improve the safety and
comfort of not only the drivers but also the pedestrians who will be affected by the
operation of the vehicle. Further, transportation infrastructure requirements and details
are also covered.

Do the contents of the subject have an overlap with any other subject offered in the
Institute? Yes 5 % with: “Telecommunications Network Planning and
Management”(TE61004). Since this course is an application (to vehicles) oriented course and
has topics such as “In-vehicle Computing and Communication” or “Vehicle Networks,V2X and
Cloud Computing” which are based on the fundamentals of communication network and
network management, or network management protocols, there is a small conceptual
overlap. However, this kind of overlap with few topics of the proposed course is not direct in
nature but in terms of referral to some fundamental concepts presented in the TE61004
course to derive the technologies towards the application in modern vehicles. So, the overlap
is not significant.
