  1. 1. Ice Cold Urban Planning : A Literature Review on Challenges and Strategies in Designing Sustainable Winter Cities

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för arkitektur och samhällsbyggnad (ABE)

    Author : Carlos Huerta; Catrin Axelsson; [2023]
    Keywords : winter cities; sustainable urban planning; accessibility; transportation; winter trails; cold climate; urban design; snow management; literature review; vinterstäder; hållbar stadsplanering; tillgänglighet; transport; vinterleder; kallt klimat; urban design; vitstruktur; litteraturöversikt;

    Abstract : Designing winter cities after the conditions of the winter weather entails unique challenges that require urban planning that is adapted to the specific conditions. One challenge is enabling transportation and accessibility despite heavy snowfall and slippery road surfaces. READ MORE

  3. 2. MODELLING OF HEAT TRANSFER OF RAILWAY SWITCH HEATING

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Siddharth Suresh Sumathi; [2023]
    Keywords : Conjugate Heat transfer analysis; transient analysis; CFD; insulation; measurement data uncertainties.; Konjugat Värmeöverföringsanalys; transientanalys; CFD; isolering; mätdata osäkerheter.;

    Abstract : Switches and crossings are vital components of the railway network. Obstacles to the smooth functioning of these components could result in delays and network traffic. Given the geographical location of Sweden, snow is one of the major obstacles for the switches. READ MORE

  4. 3. Shock Load Absorption of Electro-mechanical Actuators

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Kenan Güler; Milan Andelkovic; [2021]
    Keywords : Shock loads; electro-mechanical actuators; load absorption; Stötbelastningar; elektro-mekaniska ställdon; dämpningsförmåga;

    Abstract : När ett ställdon får som krav att kunna överföra höga krafter i relativt höga hastigheter med en dessutom väldigt hög precision är elektromekaniska ställdon oftast att föredra. En traditionell pinjong-kuggstång-uppställning uppfyller vissa av de kraven, men om kraften ska ökas behövs det fler än ett pinjongpar. READ MORE

  5. 4. Spatial Variability in Winter Balance on Storglaciären Modelled With a Coupled Terrain Based Approach

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Yoram Terleth; [2021]
    Keywords : mass balance; accumulation; snow transport; snow drift; avalanches; glaciology;

    Abstract : Although most processes governing the surface mass balance on mountain glaciers are well understood, the causes and extent of spatial variability in accumulation remain poorly constrained. In the present study, the EBFM distributed mass balance model is newly coupled to terrain based modelling routines estimating mass redistribution by snowdrift, preferential deposition, and avalanching (ST-EBFM) in order to model winter balance on Storglaciären, Sweden.

  6. 5. Lidar-based SLAM : Investigation of environmental changes and use of road-edges for improved positioning

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Reglerteknik

    Author : Oskar Karlsson; [2020]
    Keywords : lidar-slam; environmental; road-edges; gtsam; isam; evaluation; road-edge detector; ros; robot operating system; weather; rain; snow; rosnodes; slam; imu; ekf; extended kalmar filter; evaluation measures;

    Abstract : The ability to position yourself and map the surroundings is an important aspect for both civilian and military applications. Global navigation satellite systems are very popular and are widely used for positioning. This kind of system is however quite easy to disturb and therefore lacks robustness. READ MORE
