The Structures, Systems and Autonomy research theme at the Centre for Future Transport and Cities examines the safety, performance, and reliability of connected and autonomous transportation systems. This work aims to create innovative vehicle designs featuring advanced structures, communication networks, and control systems that enable safe, efficient, and eco-friendly mobility solutions for our changing world.
Key research areas include:
Creating and refining computational analysis and optimization techniques, including Finite Element Analysis, Reduced Order Modeling, Artificial Intelligence, and both heuristic and deterministic optimization approaches. These methods are applied to develop lightweight, energy-absorbing structures that enhance transportation safety while supporting environmental sustainability.Harnessing adaptive learning, cognitive decision-making, and automated cooperation to advance various industrial sectors.Utilizing traffic prediction models, simulation tools, and management strategies to alleviate congestion and study the effects of electric vehicle and infrastructure implementation.
