INTELLIGENT VEHICLE DESIGN - 2023/4
Module code: ENGM298
Module Overview
An introduction to the technology and concepts which support the design of intelligent vehicles. The module includes three phases: i) Introduction to intelligent vehicles technologies and their subsystems (e.g., sensors, perception, localisation, motion planning, etc); ii) concepts for the modelling of intelligent vehicles and prediction of their behaviour (kinematic, dynamic, etc.) and iii) design of intelligent vehicle's control systems (behavioural planning, motion planning and trajectory tracking).

Assessment Strategy
The assessment strategy is designed to provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate an understanding of principles, methodologies, mathematical modelling, and control design in the final assessment (coursework). The project coursework allows students to model intelligent vehicles, to design their control and prediction systems and to analyse behaviour of intelligent vehicles. Thus, the summative assessment for this module consists of one coursework [ Learning outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Formative assessment and feedback: formative verbal feedback is given in tutorials and lectures, written feedback is given on the coursework assessments including detailed comments on the coursework report.
Module aims
- Provide a general understanding of the concept of intelligent vehicles and their functionalities
- Introduce the fundamental design of intelligent vehicles and develop skills to explain and critically evaluate and appropriately interpret their behavior.
- Acquire first-hand skills in modelling and control of intelligent vehicles through the problem-based learning approach

Methods of Teaching / Learning
The learning and teaching strategy are designed to: introduce fundamentals of intelligent vehicles design through theory with theoretical and practical examples. This is delivered principally through lectures and tutorial classes. It concludes with two independently conducted projects involving theoretical and practical procedures. The learning and teaching methods include pre-recorded lectures, captured contents, Q&A sessions, and tutorials (in groups).
Indicated Lecture Hours (which may also include seminars, tutorials, workshops and other contact time) are approximate and may include in-class tests where one or more of these are an assessment on the module. In-class tests are scheduled/organised separately to taught content and will be published on to student personal timetables, where they apply to taken modules, as soon as they are finalised by central administration. This will usually be after the initial publication of the teaching timetable for the relevant semester.
