Communications for the
Connected Car
WMG MSc Module
The connected car is a crucial element of the wider
Intelligent Transportation Network infrastructure, as well as
the aspirational concept of ‘ubiquitous connectivity’. This
module aims to deliver a comprehensive understanding
of new and existing communication technologies to be
implemented within a Connected Car environment.
What will you study?
What will you gain?
The module will be delivered through lectures covering
theory and practical examples, as well as group exercises.
On completion, as a successful participant you should
expect to be able to:
Topics will include:
cc Demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of the
principles and theory of the operation of wireless
data communication systems, and its relevance to the
connected vehicle scenario
cc An introduction to underpinning concepts and principles
of communication systems
cc Development of a detailed theoretical and practical
understanding of the key elements and operating
principles of the most commonly used communication
technologies within the context of a connected car
cc A comprehensive coverage of various factors affecting
the quality of transmitted signals and the impact on
performance within the context of a connected car
cc Critical evaluation of potential design and development
solutions to tackle signal degradation as well security of
data transmission
cc Requirements evaluation and critical analysis of the
suitability of future communications technologies to
support deployment of secure safety-critical systems and
smart vehicle functions
cc Demonstrate a comprehensive theoretical and practical
knowledge of different factors affecting communications
around a smart connected vehicle, leading on to critical
evaluation of a range of possible solutions
cc Critically evaluate a range of modulation techniques
and other data manipulation technologies to achieve
optimum data transfer in a high-speed, safety critical
environment
cc Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding and
critical evaluation of various approaches to security
of data transmission within a smart connected vehicle
environment
cc Evaluate the requirements and critically analyse the
suitability of Future Communication technologies (LTE)
and their implementation/integration within the context
of the smart connected vehicle to support advanced
safety-critical systems deployment and smart vehicular
functions
