1.GM-SAE 2024

6/17/2024

I write this nearly 2 weeks after getting back from the GM-SAE Autodrive competition for 2024, that ran from June 2nd until June 9th. This year was the 3rd year for the competition. Originially planned for 4 years, it was announced that it would be extended for a 5th year. I joined my Uni's Autodrive team in Febuary working as a V2X engineer and worked on:

• Configured and troubleshot router settings to enable communication between routers and autonomous vehicles.


• Worked on networking protocols and securing communication channels and ports from forged packets and DOS attacks, configuring the routers and electronics necessary to navigate smart and autonomous vehicles.


• Configured network protocols and signal relays among relay devices in the car, traffic light signals, and around traffic light stops to ensure seamless communication and safety.


• Worked on decoding pcap packets from their original format to ASN.1 and rerouting them to appropriate devices for interpretation.


• Configured and managed services such as CAMService, DENMService, and others to ensure efficient data exchange and real-time communication.


• Utilized ETSI-compliant message types (CAM, DENM, IVIM, SPATEM, MAPEM, VAM) to ensure interoperability with third-party applications and adherence to industry standards.


• Wrote extensive documentation and user manuals regarding the protocols and procedures of smart vehicles and V2X communication technologies.
