Req ID:469957 

At Alstom, we understand transport networks and what moves people. From high-speed trains, metros, monorails, and trams, to turnkey systems, services, infrastructure, signalling and digital mobility, we offer our diverse customers the broadest portfolio in the industry. Every day, more than 80 000 colleagues lead the way to greener and smarter mobility worldwide, connecting cities as we reduce carbon and replace cars.

We are looking for a Master student for thesis work at our development centre in Stockholm, Sweden.

Topic proposal: Feasibility Study and Development of mm-Wave Radar Technology for Autonomous Door Control Systems in Passenger Trains

Background

As a part of Alstom innovative solutions, the focus of this master thesis is the exploration of mm-wave radar technology as a novel solution for the control/command of the doors.

The aim is to detect passengers and intention to access the train to manage the door command automatically without the need of using the push button for example, this could also be considered for the opening of the internal/gangway doors. The solution would also ease the access for persons with reduce mobility.

• Perform an analysis of the feasibility / Comparison of existing technology
• Based on system level specifications (list of constraints.), establish block level specifications, identify key-problems and propose/analyse different architectures that would meet specifications.
• Based on block level specifications, select and justify a mm-wave sensor system and corresponding development boards.
• Analyse and identify areas that will affect the selected solution to comply with system level specifications.
• Integrate selected solutions into a prototype to demonstrate its feasibility.
