Introduction

Péter BAUER received his MSc in aerospace engineering in 2005 and PhD in mechanical engineering sciences in 2013 at Budapest University of Technolgy and Economics (BME), Faculty of Transportation Engineering. His main research field is the theory and development of aircraft sense and avoid systems and the application of electr-optical sensors in aerial vehicle navigation. He is SZTAKI's project coordinator in Sense and Avoid from 2015. His related research is reference signal tracking solutions and their application to aircraft (UAV) control. This is the topic of his PhD thesis as well. He also deals with sensor calibration, nonlinear state estimation, mulitple model adaptive estimation and planning of flight test experiences. He takes part in aerospace engineering related projects in the institute including EU H2020 projects and a long and successful scientific cooperation with University of Minnesota. This latter now focuses on the fault detection and reconfiguration of a small UAV. He also dealt with the control of hybrid solar vehicles and the modelling of highway traffic considering driver behaviour as a PhD student at BME. His new topic is mono camera-based collision detection in automotive applications.
