  1. 21. UAVs for railway infrastructure operations and maintenance activities

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

    Author : MADELEINE SHEIKH; ALEXANDER ÖRTENGREN; [2018]
    Keywords : : UAV; UAS; Drone; Railway; Maintenance; Infrastructure; Operations; Remote inspection; Research; Autonomous; Rotor; Fixed-wing; UAV; UAS; Drönare; Järnväg; Underhåll; Infrastruktur; Drift; Fjärrinspektion; Autonom; Rotor; Fixed-wing.;

    Abstract : The railway infrastructure needs to be safe, reliable and efficient in order to meet the growing demand of sustainable transportation methods. One of the main problems the railway industry faces today is that a higher traffic load increases the need for maintenance, at the same time as it reduces the availability of gaps in the timetables to perform maintenance activities.

  3. 22. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and remote sensing in search and rescue missions in Sweden

    University essay from KTH/Fastigheter och byggande

    Author : ioannis ioannidis; [2018]
    Keywords : UAV Drones;

    Abstract : This paper gives a thοrοugh lοοk in the use οf Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) in search and rescue missiοns. The οbjective is tο identify, thrοugh a literature review, all types οf UAV, the available remοte sensοrs that can be mοunted in a UAV and what type οf data each sensοr prοvides, the methοdοlοgy οn flight planning and what is the regulatοry framewοrk, guidelines and limitatiοns, οf UAV flight in sοme οf the biggest cοuntries wοrldwide and in specific fοr the Eurοpean Uniοn and Sweden.

  5. 24. High-Level Control of UAV Swarms with RSSI Based Position Estimation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Märta Paulsson; [2017]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Search and rescue operations can greatly benefit from the use of cooperative swarms of autonomous UAVs in order to investigate areas and collect information about the position of a missing person. In this thesis, UAV swarm algorithms are investigated where collisions are prevented both between agent pairs and between agents and static obstacles. READ MORE
