EX EMERGE: A research and innovation initiative on connected and automated driving
Fortunato Santucci
University of L’Aquila, L’Aquila, Italy
Abstract - In the challenging field of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) we present a multi-disciplinary research project (EX-EMERGE) that aims at developing and validating key technology enablers for advanced levels of automated mobility: vehicular communications, accurate and reliable positioning, machine learning for automated operations, multi-access edge computing architectures and security by design. We illustrate recent advancements in these research areas, along with a set of case studies, whose functional and performance requirements are tested in real scenarios. These case studies are deployed on experimental facilities that are available in our university research center thanks to a public-private partnership and to the support of national (Italian) and European agencies. Furthermore, we touch upon specific research directions in the area of mobile communication systems, including performance analysis and testing of cellular V2X interfaces based on LTE Mode 4 PC5 and 5G-NR Mode 2, along with 6G oriented paradigms such as non-orthogonal multiple access and intelligent reflecting surfaces.

Biography:
Fortunato Santucci (SM IEEE) received the Laurea degree and Ph.D. degrees in electronic engineering from the University of L’Aquila, L’Aquila, Italy. In 1989, he was with Selenia Spazio S.p.a., Rome, Italy. From 1991 to 1992, he held a research fellowship with the Solid State Electronics Institute, National Research Council, Rome. Since 1994, he has been with the University of L’Aquila, where he currently holds a position of Professor of Telecommunications with the Department of Information Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics. He has been a visiting researcher with the University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, Canada, and also has been involved in visits with several universities worldwide. He has authored or coauthored more than 250 articles in international journals or conference proceedings. His research activity is focused on energy-efficient communication paradigms for the Internet of Things, vehicular communication networks, network security, and advanced signal processing for satellite transponders and 5G infrastructures. He is the deputy Director of the Center of Excellence Ex-EMERGE on connected vehicles at the University of L’Aquila, and is in the board of the Radiolabs Consortium. He is a Co-Founder of WEST Aquila S.r.l., a spin-off of the University of L’Aquila. He held other management positions at the University of L’Aquila, among those he has been a member of the Academic Senate. He has been a member of several technical committees of the IEEE Communications Society and a member of editorial boards. From 2000 to 2013, he served as an Editor for IEEE Transactions on Communications.
