1. 1. Detection of driver sleepiness during daylight and darkness

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk teknik

   Author : Johanna Eklind; Amanda Meyerson; [2023]
   Keywords : Driver sleepiness; daylight; darkness; driving simulator study; ecg; eog; signal processing; exploratory analysis; statistical analysis; ANOVA; biomedical engineering;

   Abstract : Driving sleepiness is a serious problem worldwide. It is of interest to develop reliable sleepiness detection systems to implement in vehicles, and for such a system both physi-ological data and driver performance data can be used. READ MORE

3. 2. The Attention of Train Drivers : An experimental study of differences in attention between Automatic Train Control and European Railway Traffic Management System (ERTMS)

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Filosofiska fakulteten; Linköpings universitet/Interaktiva och kognitiva system

   Author : Lisa Bernheim; [2022]

4. 3. INVESTIGATING THE VIABILITY OF PERFORMING DRIVING EXAMINATIONS IN A SIMULATED ENVIRONMENT The effect of mere presence and evaluation apprehension on driving performance

   University essay from Institutionen för tillämpad informationsteknologi

   Author : Oskar Ekström; Joel Ruthberg; Erik Van Der Maarel; [2019-08-07]
   Keywords : Driving Simulation; Driver Assessment; Swedish Driver Test; Social Facilitation; Social Impairment; Mere Presence; Evaluation Apprehension;

   Abstract : This report aims to give insights into how simulators could be used to assess driving competence. For simulators to constitute viable alternatives to on-road assessments it is necessary to understand all meaningful differences. One differentiating factor between conditions could be the social presence of a driving examiner. READ MORE

5. 4. The Ownership Structure Dilemma and its Implications on the Transition from Small-Scale to Large-Scale Electric Road Systems

   University essay from KTH/Industriell Management

   Author : EMMA BEDNARCIK ABDULHADI; MARINA VITEZ; [2016]
   Keywords : System transitions; infrastructure transformation; infrastructure ownership; electric road systems; public private partnership; transport system;

   Abstract : This master thesis is written on behalf of KTH Royal Institute of Technology and the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI). The study investigates how infrastructure ownership could affect the transition from small-scale to large-scale electric road systems (ERS) and how infrastructure ownership affects the foreseen future roles of the ERS stakeholders.

6. 5. Evaluation of performance of a smartphone application for measuring bike paths’ condition

   University essay from Institutionen för datavetenskap; Tekniska högskolan

   Author : Jonas Erlandsson; [2013]
   Keywords : Statistics; smartphone application; bike path; RMS; Gaussian process; Wavelets; Statistik; smartphoneapplikation; cykelvägar; RMS; Gaussian process; Wavelets;

   Abstract : There are several methods to measure surface evenness for car roads, but almost none for bike paths. Accordingly, VTI (the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute) have created a smartphone application which uses the accelerometers in the phone to measure the vibration from the road.
