Topics for the homework based on a practical assignment:

Please send an e-mail to the coordinator about your selection. The assignment is based on FIFO. The submission of the presentation material (e.g. ppt/pptx, prezi, etc.) and the presentation itself are mandatory, but as an optional deliverable you can also submit a 5-10 pages short essay about your selected topic. Please prepare with 15-20 minutes presentations.

Date of presentations: 10th of December, 2018, 9:30-12:00, IE221

  1. SAFER-LC (László Bokor): Introduce the V2X techniques designed for safer railway level crossing in general and then introduce the SAFER-LC project!
