| 11. | Course Syllabus:
Overview of location-based services. Basics of localization: parameters and measurements, infrastructures and protocols, spatial-temporal reference systems, positioning methods. Localization processing: navigation equations, algorithms for solution nad accuracy. Technologies and systems: Terrestrial radio-localization systems: positioning in cellular positioning (GSM, UMTS, 4G, 5G) and in short-range systems for indoor positioning (WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, UWB, RF-ID). Satellite systems: GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, Beidou/Compass, signals and spreading codes, navigation message, receiver structure. Introduction to intelligent transport systems (ITS): architecture and elements, technologies, examples and applications. Software tools and platforms for implementation of ITS. Utilization of location based services in mobility based applications. Traffic monitoring: sensors and communication systems for identification or counting of vehicles/passengers/equipment, probe vehicles and floating car data, fleet management, electronic toll collection, on demand transport ordering. Fundamentals of traffic modeling and control. Overview of communication technologies for transportation and safety: cellular, satellite, dedicated short-range communications, vehicle-to-vehicle/vehicle-to-infrastructure communications, communication systems for signaling and control. |

| 20. | Forms of assessment |
One partial written exam during the semester (in the middle of the semester) with a duration of 120 minutes or one final written exam in a corresponding exam session with a duration of 120 minutes. Every student must do an independent obligatory project. The student may opt to do an additional supplementary project. The final grade includes points from the exam and the obligatory project work and from the supplementary project (if one is made). Usage of books, hand-written materials or any kind of supplementary text book during the exam is not allowed, also electronic devices are not. |
