密歇根理工大学自动驾驶车(automated driving)方向Ph.D.招生 (需要C++ Programming)

sits_labUID: 3609804

The high-performance computing Laboratory on Sustainable and Intelligent Transportation Systems (SITS-Lab) has a Ph.D. position opening in connected and automated vehicles. This position will work on a connected and automated driving project collaborated with General Motors to test eight Volt hybrid electric cars on real world roads in a connected environment. Students with proficient C++ programming are highly required, and mathematical background in optimization and control will be a plus. You will work on this three-year project from US Department of Energy ARPA-E NEXTCAR program. Your future career opportunities will include GM, Uber, and Google on autonomous driving.

Please contact Dr. Kuilin Zhang at klzhang@mtu.edu if you are interested in this position.

Project Introduction:
Michigan Technological University – Houghton, MI
Connected and Automated Control for Vehicle Dynamics and Powertrain Operation on a Light-Duty Multi-Mode Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle – $2,801,390
The Michigan Technological University team and its partners will develop a mobile connected cloud computing center, a vehicle dynamics and powertrain (VD&PT) model-based predictive controller (MPC) using real-time connected vehicle (V2X) data, traffic modeling, predictive speed, and eco-routing to improve the energy efficiency of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). Key innovations include the development and implementation of the MPC controller, a connected and automated traffic simulation system to provide optimal eco-routing and speed profiles, a real-time virtual toolkit for developing and optimizing VD&PT control strategies, and the integration of a mobile laboratory for on-the-fly traffic simulation.
