  1. 1. Effects of Dynamic Modeling on the Path Planning of Simulated Autonomous Vehicles

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fordonssystem; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Elin Kidell Löwstedt; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The purpose of the thesis was to evaluate the robustness of the Hybrid A* algorithm in regards to the levels of dynamic vehicle modeling, vehicle parameters and driving velocity. The original scope of the thesis project was to alter vehicle and tire models but this was discovered to be out of the time limits of the thesis project. READ MORE

  3. 2. Path planning for autonomous vehicles using clothoid based smoothing of A* generated paths and optimal control

    University essay from KTH/Numerisk analys, NA

    Author : Marcus Lundberg; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Autonomous vehicles is a rapidly expanding field and the need for robust and efficient path planners is high. We approach the global path- planning problem for an autonomous load carrier for quarry environments, developed at Volvo Construction Equipment, using two methods: a two- step path planning and path smoothing approach, and a method based on an optimal control formulation of the path planning problem.

    Author : Anda Zhang; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Autonomous vehicles are a rapidly growing field and will play an important role in future society. The introduction of autonomous machines in the quarry environment increases safety in the hazardous working conditions and reduces the risk of accidents caused by human error. READ MORE

  6. 5. Firm Financing and Accounting Discretion: A study of income smoothing in Sweden

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för redovisning och finansiering

    Author : Emil Ericson; Erik Rasmusson; [2014]
    Keywords : Income Smoothing; Earnings Smoothing; Accounting Discretion; Trade Credit; Insider Ownership;

    Abstract : Income smoothing is the reduction of inter-temporal variation in earnings. A smooth earnings path has been documented as an important consideration for managers. This study investigates the relationship between a firm's sources of financing and the use of accounting discretion for income smoothing. READ MORE
