Andrea Tassi

I am a former Senior Research Associate in Wireless Connectivity for Autonomous Vehicles at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of the University of Bristol, UK. To find out my next stop out Academia check my LinkedIn page... :)

I served as principal system and data architect of car trials in the Innovate UK VENTURER and FLOURISH Projects, and developed of a novel open-source low-latency platform providing heterogeneous connectivity (ITS-G5, Cellular-V2X, mmWave) to Intelligent Transportation Systems. My platform has been deployed across the campus of the University of Bristol, and includes Software-Defined Network (SDN) programmable ITS-G5 DSRC road-side and on-board units. This platform makes possible all the look-ahead/cooperative sensing functionalities offered by the autonomous vehicles we tested.
