  • Credits: 6
  • SSD: ING-INF/01
  • Language: English
  • Teaching Mode: Traditional lectures
  • Campus: Bologna
  • Corso: Second cycle degree programme (LM) in Advanced Automotive Electronic Engineering (cod. 9238)

Learning outcomes

The aim of this course is to reverse engineer some automotive electronic systems to gain the complete picture of their design and implementation. Companies are involved in choosing some representative case studies and to contribute with lectures, seminars and other activities. In particular, innovative energy harvesting systems, noise management (e.g. pedestrian alert, Active noise cancellation, Road noise cancellation, Engine sound enhancement, …) systems will be studied and new solutions will be designed and proposed to the industry.

Course contents

This module aims to give students the knowledge to analyze and design electronic systems for automotive applications.
In particular, after an introduction on management and planning of electronic projects, students will investigate ADAS systems and analyze some specific cases.

1. Electronic Systems in automotive: introduction and general constraints.
2. Project Management: basic principles.
3. Hardware and Software components and their co-design.
4. Examples: ADAS systems
5. Design of: energy harvesting systems, ...(t.b.d. w/ industrial partners)
6. Case studies
