Course Summary

Structures, Systems and Autonomy is a research theme within the Centre for Future Transport and Cities. Research within this theme focuses on understanding the safety, efficiency and effectiveness of (connected and autonomous) transportation systems to design novel, safe, efficient and sustainable vehicles, including their structures, communication and control systems delivering future mobility solutions within an ever-evolving environment.This includes but isn’t limited to:Developing and exploring efficient and effective numerical analysis and optimisation methods incorporating methods such as Finite Element Analysis, Reduced Order Modelling, Artificial Intelligence as well as heuristic and deterministic optimisation methodologies. Exploiting these methods to design and engineer lightweight highly efficient energy absorbing structures improving safety across all modes of transport whilst positively contributing to a sustainable greener future.Leveraging communication, cooperation and automation capabilities through adaptation and learning and cognitive decision-making to support vertical industries.Exploiting traffic forecasting, simulation and management to reduce the impact of congestions and investigate the deployment and impact of vehicular and infrastructure electrification.
