Nagoya University—at the heart of Japan’s automotive “Silicon Valley”—presents a cutting-edge technical intensive: “Wireless Technologies in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).” Scheduled from June 10 to July 17, 2026, this course is a cornerstone of the Nagoya University Summer Intensive Program (NUSIP). As we move toward fully autonomous driving, the car is no longer an isolated machine; it is a node in a global network. This program provides a deep dive into the communication protocols that enable vehicles to “see” around corners and talk to the city itself. While the university provides elite academic instruction, access to the National Innovation Complex, and official academic credits, Edulux Summer manages the high-end logistics and travel services required for your stay in Japan.
What You’ll Learn (at Nagoya University)
-
V2X Communication Foundations: Investigating the architecture of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication, including Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I).
-
Wireless Standards & Protocols: Mastering the technical differences between DSRC (Dedicated Short-Range Communications) and C-V2X (Cellular V2X), including 5G integration for low-latency safety applications.
