  1. 1. Evaluation of Velocity Obstacle Approaches for Groups of Agents Navigating Everyday Scenarios

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

    Author : Jessica Gorwat; Amanda Hallstedt; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : As recent years have seen an increase in use of robotics in both public and private spaces, evaluations to ensure safe and efficient navigation through common scenarios are needed. The same evaluations can improve simulations of human behaviour used in for example evacuation simulations. READ MORE

  3. 2. Exploring the Feasibility of Using Fire Dynamics Simulator to Improve the Calculation of the Wildfire Available Safe Egress Time

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Alfred El Haddad; [2023]
    Keywords : Wildfire; Trigger buffer; WUI; WASET; FDS; QGIS; Level set; WUI evacuation.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires pose a significant threat to public safety and property in areas where urban development encroaches upon natural landscapes. This thesis aims to investigate the effect of smoke from a WUI fire on the tenability conditions of a small village and to establish a worst-case-scenario trigger boundary around it as an improved basis for the WUI available safe egress time (WASET).

  5. 4. Dimensioning study of EPR2 fuel pool cooling system

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Thomas Rubler; [2023]
    Keywords : EPR2; PTR; spent fuel pool; heat exchange; EPR2; PTR; bassäng för utbränt kärnbränsle; värmeväxling.;

    Abstract : The PTR system allows the EPR2 fuel pool to be cooled. The evacuation of the residual power fromthe pool is ensured by several heat exchangers and pumps, which have to be dimensioned in order to meetdifferent requirements.In order to dimension them, the worst-case scenario of the components must first be determined.

  6. 5. The design of evacuation alarms for people who are deaf or hard of hearing

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Anastasia Afanasova; [2023]
    Keywords : Alarm system; Deaf people; Hard-of-hearing people; Fire safety.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The ability to hear is essential for receiving auditory signals, which serve as warnings and alerts in many situations, including fire evacuation. However, people with hearing impairments may miss out such signals and can be exposed to dangerous situations. READ MORE
