  1. 1. Mapping Noise Pollution with Open-source GIS

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Samhällsbyggnad

    Author : Faustina Lina Yeboah; [2021]
    Keywords : Road traffic noise; CNOSSOS-EU; noise exposure; Lday; Levening; Lnight; Lden;

    Abstract : In a time when urban areas continue to expand, environmental noise pollution especially from road traffic remains a big challenge. This study was aimed at using open-source GIS tools to predict road traffic noise pollution using the mid-sized city of Gävle as a case study. READ MORE

  3. 2. Map-aided localization for autonomous driving using a particle filter

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

    Author : Simon Eriksson; [2020]
    Keywords : Particle filter; Monte Carlo filter; Gaussian noise; Bayesian estimation; probabilistic localization; autonomous vehicles; Scania; OpenStreetMap; Partikelfilter; Monte Carlo-filter; Gaussiskt brus; Bayesisk uppskattning; sannolikhetsbaserad lokalisering; autonoma fordon; Scania; OpenStreetMap;

    Abstract : Vehicles losing their GPS signal is a considerable issue for autonomous vehicles and can be a danger to people in their vicinity. To circumvent this issue, a particle filter localization technique using pre-generated offline Open Street Map (OSM) maps was investigated in a software simulation of Scania’s heavy-duty trucks.

  4. 3. Where’s Waddan? Missing Maps and cross-cultural voluntary engagement in ICT4D initiatives

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för kultur och samhälle (KS)

    Author : Joanna Keenan; [2019]
    Keywords : Communications; Development; ICT4D; Volunteering; Slacktivism; crowdsourcing; data; humanitarian; mapping;

    Abstract : In the wake of the Haiti earthquake response in 2010, crowdsourced humanitarian mapping has taken off, and today is considered an essential tool by many humanitarian agencies providing assistance in disaster-affected and under-resourced countries and contexts. But what happens when there is no information on a map to help agencies decide how to respond? If they cannot find roads to take to get there? If they do not know how many houses are in a village? What if the map is – missing?In response to this all-too-common problem, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), American Red Cross, British Red Cross and the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) created and launched Missing Maps in 2014.

  5. 4. Propagation Modeling and LTE Network Performancein Real City Scenarios

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Signaler och System

    Author : Sebastian Vestberg; [2018]
    Keywords : Propagation modeling; Network Simulations; LTE;

    Abstract : Maps of chosen areas in Chicago, San José, London and Shibuya, areimported from Open Street Map into matlab in order to run LTE networksimulations for various scenarios. Firstly, two path loss models arecompared, the empirically based WINNER model and a set of sitespecificmodel. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development of a Simulation Platform Addressing the Digitalization of the Stockholm Healthcare System

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Pascal Skoglund; Tobias Peterson; [2018]
    Keywords : Agent Based; Discrete Event; Healthcare; Hybrid Simulations; Object Oriented Modeling; Simulation; Home-care; Resource distribution;

    Abstract : As e-Health solutions start being integrated into the healthcare system in Stockholm County, the possibility of moving monitored patients out of the hospitals and into their homes increases. Such a change in the healthcare system could require a major redistribution of resources in order to meet possible changes in resource demands. READ MORE
