The course is aimed at the analysis of the electrical and electronic systems used on board vehicles. It will focus on the components used and their functionality, and more particularly on the communication and diagnosis systems, where data buses such as the CAN bus (controller area network) are specifically treated and illustrated in practical exercises. Future evolutions of these technolgies are highlighted. Aspects ike electrical energy storage and electric traction are not covered as such, since these are treated by specific courses.

This course aims to give students of engineering sciences a clear introduction into navigation, in the broadest sense and based on its historical development. This means that the basic knowledge of mathematical and geographical descriptions must be revised and that the theory of terrestrial navigation will be studied. Through practical examples of navigation the student is meant to become acquainted with the application of the concepts and theoretical findings. After having followed this course, students must be capable of proposing the methods required for positioning and dead reckoning, defining the uncertainties associated with it, and must be able to suggest position and movement sensors, indicate correction and processing algorithms, and will be able to analyse fusing methods and networking. When we discuss automatic navigation and intelligence emphasis is of course placed on road vehicles.
Rationale: (L. Van Biesen)
General introduction to automatic navigation. Short historical perspective. Introduction to geodesion and map projection systems used in navigation (Latitude and Longitude. Motivation for nautical mile and knots. Mercator and Lambert projections. Reference ellipsoids and datum, WGS84).
Positioning techniques: (L. Van Biesen)
Short introduction (revision) of reproduction of radio waves (general electromagnetic reproduction, antennae, reproduction modes like ground wave, ionospherical reproduction, optical view). Measuring methods divided into 4 classes (angle directing methods, phase measurements, signal strength measurements, time measurements). Removing ambiguities (with GPS serving as an example), hyperbolic positioning methods. Localising through cellular networks (GSM, UMTS).
Satellite navigation: (L. Van Biesen)
Study of GPS and Differential GPS. GLONASS, Galileo and GPS-III.
Terrestrial navigation: (L. Van Biesen)
Problems with the use of satellite positioning and cellular radio in urban areas (urban canyon navigation). Methods and sensors for estimation of positioning and dead reckoning (ABS, gyroscopes, accelerometers).
Intelligent vehicles (H. Sahli)
Image processing, line tracking, traffic control, positioning, anti-collision,...
