  1. 1. 3D geospatial data requirements for simulating noise using the Nord2000 model: Case study of the impact of building façade types and roof configurations on simulated traffic noise levels

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Soraya Hosseinvash Azari; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; noise simulation; traffic; Nord2000 model; building façade types; roof configurations; geospatial data; 3CIM; SoundPLAN; acoustic properties; urban areas; 3D city model; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The European Union implements the Environmental Noise Directive (END), which offers a framework for evaluating and assessing environmental noise. All EU members are required to create strategic noise maps to inform the public about noise pollution and its effects. READ MORE

  3. 2. Surface Classification with Millimeter-Wave Radar for Constant Velocity Devices using Temporal Features and Machine Learning

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : David Montgomery; Gaston Holmén; [2019]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Surface Classification; Feature Extraction; Autonomous Devices; Millimeter-wave Radar; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Classification of surfaces in the near field using millimeter-wave radar commonly considers the use of polarization based methods for road condition monitoring. When a surface consists of larger structures one instead wishes to monitor the surface topography. READ MORE

  4. 3. Using supervised learning algorithms to model the behavior of Road Weather Information System sensors

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Datavetenskap

    Author : Tobias Axelsson; [2018]
    Keywords : machine learning; supervised learning; road condition monitoring; road weather information system;

    Abstract : Trafikverket, the agency in charge of state road maintenance in Sweden, have a number of so-called Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS). The main purpose of the stations is to provide winter road maintenance workers with information to decide when roads need to be plowed and/or salted. READ MORE

  5. 4. Grassland plant species on road verges in Mid Sweden : influence of semi-natural grasslands and impact of road maintenance

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Karin Runesson; [2009]
    Keywords : species-rich road verges; road management; plant dispersal; landscape ecology;

    Abstract : Semi-natural grasslands have decreased in Sweden and alternative habitats are vital for many grassland plant species. In Jämtland, Mid Sweden, species-rich road verges cover a surface half the size of the remaining semi-natural grasslands in the same area. These road verges may act as substitute for diminishing semi-natural grasslands. READ MORE

  6. 5. Aquaplaning : Development of a Risk Pond Model from Road Surface Measurements

    University essay from Institutionen för systemteknik

    Author : Sara Nygårdhs; [2003]
    Keywords : Reglerteknik; Aquaplaning; Hydroplaning; Risk Pond; Road Surface Measurements; Road Surface Monitoring; Laser RST; Traffic Safety; Reglerteknik;

    Abstract : Aquaplaning accidents are relatively rare, but could have fatal effects. The task of this master’s thesis is to use data from the Laser Road Surface Tester to detect road sections with risk of aquaplaning. A three-dimensional model based on data from road surface measurements is created using MATLAB (version 6.1). READ MORE
