Program Overview
Smart Mobility
The Smart Mobility track is part of the Honors Academy at Eindhoven University of Technology. This track focuses on developing innovative solutions for mobility issues using technology, particularly Cooperative Connected Automated Mobility.
Description
In the field of Smart Mobility, students have the opportunity to work on real-life projects, often in collaboration with industry and research institutes. The track provides a unique chance to see firsthand how technology is implemented in practical applications. Students will work in teams to develop out-of-the-box solutions using AI, connectivity, and other technological foundations.
Methodology
The Smart Mobility track believes in learning by doing. Students will work on real-life projects, either as part of a larger team or on a smaller research project with one of the researchers. The track is interdisciplinary, with students from various faculties collaborating to develop innovative solutions.
Project Example: AUTOPILOT Smart Campus
An example of a project in the Smart Mobility track is AUTOPILOT Smart Campus. This project used IoT and AI to predict pedestrian behavior and optimize the behavior of autonomous vehicles. A team of students developed a smartphone application that could summon an autonomous taxi and used data from the application to improve the user experience.
