1. 1. Coverage Path Planning in Large-scale Multi-floor Urban Environments : with Applications to Autonomous Road Sweeping

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

   Author : Daniel Engelsons; [2021]
   Keywords : robotics; sweeping; cleaning; autonomous; coverage path planning; CPP;

   Abstract : Autonomous lawn mowers and floor cleaning robots are today easily accessible and areutilizing well-studied Coverage Path Planning algorithms. They operate in single-floorenvironments that are small with simple geometry compared to general urban environments such as city parking garages, highway bridges or city crossings. READ MORE

3. 2. Fatigue Analysis of a Lively Footbridge

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Kristi Bila; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The commitment of building aesthetic bridges made of stiff materials results in theconstruction of slender structures highly susceptible to dynamic loading. In the caseof footbridges located over a highly trafficked highway, such dynamic loads maybe the aerodynamic pressure induced by the heavy trucks passing underneath thestructure and the pedestrian loading involving a pedestrian running and jumping.

4. 3. Increased Traffic Loads on Swedish Highway Bridges : A Case study of the bridge at highway interchange Värö

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Author : Fredrik Forsberg; [2017]
   Keywords : BRIGADE Standard; Concrete slab frame bridge; FEM; Load carrying capacity calculation; Load carrying capacity class; BRIGADE Standard; Bärighetsberäkningar; Plattrambro; FEM; Bärighetsklasser;

   Abstract : The Swedish government is planning to increase the maximum vehicle gross load regulations on parts of the national roads from the present 60 t, for the load carrying capacity class BK1, to 74 t, for the proposed new load carrying capacity class BK4. The initial implementation of the new load carrying capacity class for 74 t vehicles will only regard major highways and important roads, however, at a later stage the plan is to implement the new BK4 class on the full current BK1 road network.

5. 4. Fatigue Analysis of Mooring Lines in Floating Bridges : Influence of Line Configuration and Water Depth in a Case Study in Bjørnafjorden

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Borja Balbastre Camarena; [2017]
   Keywords : Floating bridge; E39 project; Fatigue Damage Evaluation; Mooring Lines; Pontoon; ANSYS.;

   Abstract : Nowadays, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration plans to replace the ferry connections along the western coast of Norway with fixed road connections through the coastal highway E39 project. Due to the necessity of bridging long distances with considerable depths, non-conventional engineering solutions are being developed. READ MORE

6. 5. Performance Evaluation of Short Time Dead Reckoning for Navigation of an Autonomous Vehicle

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Reglerteknik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska högskolan

   Author : David Enberg; [2015]
   Keywords : INS; GNSS; vehicle models; EKF; dead reckoning;

   Abstract : Utilizing a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) together with an Inertial Navigation System (INS) is today a common integration method to obtain a positioning solution for autonomous systems. Both GNSS and INS have benefits and weaknesses where the best parts from both systems can be combined with a Kalman filter. READ MORE
