  1. 1. Swedish Concrete Roads : Performance, Damages and Rehabilitation 10-30 Years after Construction

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Razan Haj Hussein; Wiam Ali Abdulhadi; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a comprehensive investigation on the performance and durability of five concrete roads in Sweden focusing on the time after 2010. The studied roads include Arlanda, Falkenberg Part 1 (Heberg-Långås), Falkenberg Part 2 (Heberg-Fastarp), Eskilstuna, and Uppsala. READ MORE

  3. 2. Real-time Optimal Braking for Marine Vessels with Rotating Thrusters

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Sigurlaug Rún Jónsdóttir; [2022]
    Keywords : Nonlinear optimization; nonlinear optimal control; numerical optimal control; real-time solution; optimal braking; receding horizon; modeling; ship model; propeller forces; rudder forces; direct multiple shooting method; discretization;

    Abstract : Collision avoidance is an essential component of autonomous shipping. As ships begin to advance towards autonomy, developing an advisory system is one of the first steps. An advisory system with a strong collision avoidance component can help the crew act more quickly and accurately in dangerous situations. READ MORE

  4. 3. Unity 3D Traffic Simulation investigating the impacts of safe distance on traffic flow : Investigating how safe distance impacts traffic flow on a one lane highway during three road scenarios

    University essay from KTH/Datavetenskap

    Author : Jacob Näsman; Jonas Sävås; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : With ever expanding transport needs and roads becoming increasingly congested, more people than ever before spend significant parts of their daily life stuck in traffic. One common cause of delays and queue formation is drivers attempting to adjust their speed in relation to the vehicle in front. READ MORE

  5. 4. Predictive Deceleration Control

    University essay from KTH/Väg- och spårfordon samt konceptuell fordonsdesign

    Author : Felix Collin; [2022]
    Keywords : Predictive control; Map information; Feedforward control; Deceleration control; Prediktiv reglering; Information från kartor; Framkopplingsreglering; Retardationsreglering;

    Abstract : For vehicles equipped with electric motors there exist a possibility to recuperate energy during deceleration. This master’s thesis presents a driver support function, a Predictive Deceleration Control (PDC), that warns the driver when to release the accelerator pedal. READ MORE

  6. 5. Robust Safe Control for Automated Driving Systems With Perception Uncertainties

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

    Author : Yan Feng Yu; [2022]
    Keywords : Adaptive cruise control; Autonomous Driving System; Control barrier function; Cyber-physical systems; Measurement uncertainties; Model predictive control; Kalman filter; Adaptiv farthållare; Autonoma körsystem; Kontrollbarriärfunktion; Cyberfysiska system; Mätstörning; Modellförutsägande styrning;

    Abstract : Autonomous Driving Systems (ADS), a subcategory of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are becoming increasingly popular with ubiquitous deployment. They provide advanced operational functions for perception and control, but this also raises the question of their safety capability. READ MORE
