  1. 1. DRONAR: Obstacle echolocation using ego-noise

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för systemteknik

    Author : Henrik Nilsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Drone; Autonomous systems; Obstacle avoidance; Sound; Noise; Planning; SONAR; Ego-noise; Multi-rotor aerial vehicle; Unmanned areal vehicle; Drönare; Autonoma system; Hinderundvikning; Ljud; Oljud; Planering; SONAR; Egenljud; Multirotorfordon; Obemannat luftfordon;

    Abstract : You do not want your drone to crash. Therefore, safety systems should be put in place to prevent such an event, and obstacle avoidance is a major part of this. Today, the most successful techniques use cameras or light detection and ranging (LIDAR) to find and avoid obstacles; but to improve resiliency, multiple systems should be used. READ MORE

  3. 2. Practical Analysis of the Giskard Consensus Protoco

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

    Author : Leon Sandner; [2023]
    Keywords : Distributed Ledger; Blockchain; Consensus Protocol; Giskard; Hyperledger Sawtooth; Distribuerade Huvudbok; Blockchain; Konsensus; Giskard; Hyperledger Sawtooth;

    Abstract : Consensus protocols are the core of modern blockchain systems, such as the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Algorand networks. Thanks to these protocols, participants in a blockchain network can reach consensus on which blocks to add to a blockchain, to have a consistent chain of blocks in the whole network. READ MORE

  4. 3. Estimation of severe crash frequency using two surrogates

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Zhankun Chen; [2022]
    Keywords : Multivariate Extreme Value distributions; Copula; Extreme Value Theory; Crash frequency; Surrogate Meausre of Safety; Road safety; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with the estimation of crash frequency based on the bivariate modeling of surrogate measures of safety (SMoS), which serve as indicators for traffic risk. Using the SMoS, any traffic conflict between two road users can be described by their proximity together with their hypothetical consequence. READ MORE

  5. 4. Adaptive Cruise Control and Platooning With Tire Slip Awareness

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

    Author : Filip Henriksson; Gustaf Reimer; [2022]
    Keywords : Platooning; tire slip; car following; C-ACC; autonomous driving;

    Abstract : Platooning is a method where a chain of vehiclesdrive with small inter-vehicular distances. The many benefitsof autonomous platooning includes improved fuel economy,less congestion and safer transportation. To create a safe andfunctional platoon the operational software needs to be able tohandle various road surfaces without the risk of a crash. READ MORE

  6. 5. Adapting to Perceived Safety within Human-Drone Interaction : Explored in proximity space

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

    Author : Rasmus Rudling; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : During recent years, drones’ presence in society has grown. They have many use cases, such as capturing video footage, delivering packages, protecting farmers’ land against wildlife, and fighting fires. Even though the amount of interactions differ, the drones somehow interact with humans in these use cases. READ MORE
