    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Rebecka Relfsson; [2023-08-18]
    Keywords : African savanna elephant; elephant highways; interspecies interactions; predation avoidance; predator-prey interaction; temporal activity;

    Abstract : African savanna elephants (Loxondonta africana) are the world’s largest land-mammal and are considered a keystone species. The effect they have on vegetation and their environment is well known, but their effect on other animal species is less studied. READ MORE

  3. 2. Traffic State Estimation on Swedish Highways : Model Comparison using Multisource Data

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

    Author : Jiaqi Xu; [2023]
    Keywords : Traffic State Estimation; Macroscopic Traffic Model; Extended Kalman Filter; Particle Filter; Data Fusion; Trafiklägesuppskattning; Makroskopisk trafikmodell; Utökad Kalman-filter; Partikelfilter; Datafusion;

    Abstract : Due to the escalating demand for traffic information and management, the significance of traffic state estimation, which involves the assessment of traffic conditions on road segments with limited measurement data, is increasing. Two primary estimation methods are model-driven and data-driven. READ MORE

  4. 3. Map Based Sensor Fusion for Lane Boundary Estimation on ADAS

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