  1. 1. Usability of connected vehicle data for local winter road maintenance

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Erik Lindgren; [2023]
    Keywords : Winter Road Maintenance; Road Weather; Decision Support Systems;

    Abstract : NIRA is a company based in Linköping and operates within the automotive industry. NIRA's Tire Grip Indicator is one of their products used to create friction values during normal driving conditions. This data is, together with additional sensor information from the vehicle, such as environmental sensors, collected in NIRA's cloud environment RSI. READ MORE

  3. 2. How is anticipation, as part of system resilience, operationalised on the flight deck, and to what extent does the regulation facilitate it?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Tomi Tervo; Atte Jokinen; [2023]
    Keywords : Aviation; resilience; anticipation; experience; resilience development; EASA regulation; FLMU06; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Resilience is a contemporary ‘hot topic’ in aviation - as well as in many other safety critical industries. The need for understanding resilience has been recognised since it has been noted that serious incidents and accidents are often related to very complex and unexpected situations and failures that cannot be managed with compliance, or which are not covered by existing procedures or checklists.

    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Road accidents are one of the most important concerns worldwide. Studying and analysing them is one way to improve and ensure safety on the roads. Traffic accident records for four years have been provided and are analysed in this thesis. READ MORE

  5. 4. Transformation of In-Flight Measured Loads to a Fatigue Test Spectrum

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanik och hållfasthetslära

    Author : Patrick Dümig; [2022]
    Keywords : Aerospace engineering; Aircraft load spectra; ASIP; Crack growth; Fatigue testing; Flight loads; Flight test; Fracture mechanics; FSFT; In-flight measurements; Load spectrum reduction; Racetrack filtering; Strain gauge measurements;

    Abstract : Fatigue is a well-recognized issue in lightweight and high-performance aircraft structures. As fatigue failures have led to serious accidents and caused significant economic impact in the past, design against fatigue is crucial. READ MORE

  6. 5. Tyre Performance Estimation during Normal Driving

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fordonssystem

    Author : Marcus Grip; [2021]
    Keywords : tyre performance; tread wear; tyre wear; online estimation; friction performance; velocity performance; friction potential; longitudinal stiffness; tyre stiffness;

    Abstract : Driving with tyres not appropriate for the actual conditions can not only lead to accidents related to the tyres, but also cause detrimental effects on the environment via emission of rubber particles if the driving conditions are causing an unexpectedly high amount of tread wear. Estimating tyre performance in an online setting is therefore of interest, and the feasibility to estimate friction performance, velocity performance, and tread wear utilizing available information from the automotive grade sensors is investigated in this thesis.
