  1. 6. Strategic passenger-oriented timetable design : Long-term timetable designs with minimised passenger inconvenience

    University essay from KTH/Transportplanering

    Author : Yari de Graaf; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Timetable development and design is a complex process that is crucial for safe and efficient railway operations. The combination of steel wheels and steel rails makes it possible to create trains and to transport many vehicles, thus passengers and freight, at the same time, but it also results in longer braking distances.

  3. 7. Anti-lock braking system for bicycles

    University essay from KTH/Mekatronik

    Author : Kristian Jandric; Lucas Andersson; [2021]
    Keywords : Mechatronics; Bicycle; ABS; Arduino; Stepper motor; Brakes; Mekatronik; Cykel; ABS; Arduino; Stegmotor; Broms;

    Abstract : An attempt was made to construct an ABS system that would both lock the wheel and release the brakes. The system would be mounted on a bicycle with v-brakes. It would then be tested if it could decrease the braking distance and if the system would respond fast enough. A literature study was made to learn what was needed for such a project. READ MORE

  4. 8. Roslagsbanan: A capacity comparison between the current ATC system and the implementation of a CBTC system

    University essay from KTH/Transportplanering

    Author : Chrysostomos Sofroniou; [2021]
    Keywords : Roslagsbanan; CBTC; moving block; fixed block; safe braking curve; capacity; Roslagsbanan; CBTC; rörligt block; fast block; säker bromskurva; kapacitet;

    Abstract : Communications-based train control (CBTC) aims to improve headways in the railway systems while maintaining or even improving safety. By means of the CBTC systems, the exact position of a train is known more accurately than the traditional signalling systems. READ MORE

  5. 9. Vehicle Path Prediction Using Recurrent Neural Network

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Statistik och maskininlärning

    Author : Mim Kemal Tekin; [2020]
    Keywords : computer vision; autonomous driving; deep learning; uncertainty in deep learning;

    Abstract : Vehicle Path Prediction can be used to support Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that covers different technologies like Autonomous Braking System, Adaptive Cruise Control, etc. In this thesis, the vehicle’s future path, parameterized as 5 coordinates along the path, is predicted by using only visual data collected by a front vision sensor.

  6. 10. Dynamic Modelling and Optimal Control of Autonomous Heavy-duty Vehicles

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Kartik Seshadri Chari; [2020]
    Keywords : Autonomous driving; Dynamic bicycle model; Magic Formula; Model matching; MPC; Clothoids; Autonom körning; Fordonsmodell; Modellanpassning; MPC; Klothoider;

    Abstract : Autonomous vehicles have gained much importance over the last decade owing to their promising capabilities like improvement in overall traffic flow, reduction in pollution and elimination of human errors. However, when it comes to long-distance transportation or working in complex isolated environments like mines, various factors such as safety, fuel efficiency, transportation cost, robustness, and accuracy become very critical.
