  1. 1. A spatial data infrastructure based conceptual model for an efficient public transport system

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för data- och systemvetenskap

    Author : Franka Grubisic; [2023]
    Keywords : public transport; optimization; Spatial Data Infrastructure; digitalization; conceptual model; integrated approach.;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses the pressing need for an efficient public transport system in response to increasing urban population and rising fossil fuel costs. The research aims to satisfy that need by answering the research question guiding this study is: "How can developing an SDI-based conceptual model, leveraging cloud computing, optimize public transport by integrating multiple travel data sources and overcoming data fragmentation and interoperability challenges?".

  3. 2. Smart Scooter : Solving e-scooter safety problems with multi-modal, privacy-preserving sensor technology and machine learning

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

    Author : Beatrice Lovely; [2022]
    Keywords : Smart Devices; Machine Learning; Sensors; Radar; Inertial Measurement Unit; Computer Vision; Smarta Saker; Maskininlärning; Sensorer; Radar; Tröghetsmåttenhet; Dator- seende;

    Abstract : Micromobility ride-share scooters (e-scooters) have become a popular mode of transport in several major cities around the world, yet several safety and accessibility issues stem from how these scooters are operated, including sidewalk riding, unsafe parking and wrong-way riding. This thesis tackles these issues through a novel, privacy-preserving, end-to-end sensor system that employs lightweight machine learning models to provide real-time feedback to users to present unsafe scooter operation.

  4. 3. Soundscape From an Audio- Visual Perspective : A study on how visual feedback affects our perception of a soundscape

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

    Author : Josefine Hölling; [2021]
    Keywords : Audio-visual perception; Soundscape; Visualization; Sonic environment; Audio-reactive; Digital audio visualization.;

    Abstract : The soundscape is a multi-sensory experience of an area. Previous research in the field has shown a positive correlation between designing with both audio and visual feedback for an increased perceived environmental pleasantness. READ MORE

  5. 4. Predicting Pedestrian Counts per Street Segment in Urban Environments

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Simon Karlsson; [2020-07-08]
    Keywords : data science; pedestrian movement; machine learning; random forest; negative binomial; spatial morphology; road network; street centrality; built environment; built density; attractions; land division;

    Abstract : Cities are continuously growing all over the world and the complexity of designing urban environments increases. Therefore, there is a need to build a better understanding in how our cities work today. One of the essential parts of this is understanding the pedestrian movement. READ MORE

  6. 5. Outdoor thermal comfort in Drottninghög, Helsingborg: a study on the effects of urban densification in a warmer climate

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Daniel Erlström; [2020]
    Keywords : Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Extreme heat can lead to a significant increase in mortality, especially for urban citizens. Densification of urban areas can dramatically affect the local climate of the city by replacing green areas with impermeable materials and changing both radiative and turbulent fluxes. READ MORE
