1. 16. Risk-aware Autonomous Driving Using POMDPs and Responsibility-Sensitive Safety

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

   Author : Caroline Skoglund; [2021]
   Keywords : Computer Science - Robotics; Autonomous driving; partially observable Markov decision process; motion planning under uncertainty; risk estimation;

   Abstract : Autonomous vehicles promise to play an important role aiming at increased efficiency and safety in road transportation. Although we have seen several examples of autonomous vehicles out on the road over the past years, how to ensure the safety of autonomous vehicle in the uncertain and dynamic environment is still a challenging problem.

3. 17. Requirements for Modelling WUI Fire Evacuation by Unconventional Means

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Rona Tyler; [2021]
   Keywords : WUI fire; evacuation modelling; wildfire; evacuation; traffic modelling; pedestrian modelling; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Wildfires pose a significant safety issue, especially when they interact with urban areas, known as wildland urban interface (WUI) fires. As wildfire numbers are rising and developments near wildlands are increasing, there is an increased need to model all types of evacuation in order to prepare and inform evacuating authorities and evacuees.

4. 18. Testing the wildland urban interface fire evacuation tool WUI-NITY: A case study of a rural community

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Afroza Mallick; [2021]
   Keywords : WUI-NITY; fire evacuation tool; evacuation; wildland-urban interface.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This thesis makes use of a freely available platform based on multi-physics simulations, named WUI-NITY, to model WUI fire evacuation. This simulation platform includes three sub-models addressing fire spread, pedestrian movement and traffic movement allowing the representation of their interaction to produce outputs useful for dynamic vulnerability assessment.

5. 19. Shear strenght test device : Design of a device for testing shear strenght on winter roads

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Gustav Fält; [2020]
   Keywords : Shear strenght; Snow; Ice; Device;

   Abstract : When buying a new car today customers expect that the safety systems built in the car and its tireswill do its job in every condition. This is especially important when driving on winter roads due to thedecrease in friction between the tire and the road surface. READ MORE

6. 20. Virtual vehicle capabilities towards verification, validation and calibration of vehicle motion control functions

   University essay from KTH/Fordonsdynamik

   Author : Keerthan Shetty; Venkata Sai Nikhil Epuri; [2020]
   Keywords : Verification; Validation; Calibration; Test case development; Test automation; Model-in-loop; Software-in-loop; Hardware-in-loop; Vehicle validation; Vehicle motion control functions; Verifiering; validering; kalibrering; testfallets utveckling; testautomatisering; Virtuella fordonsfunktions matriser Model-in-loop; Software-in-loop; Hardware-in-loop; Fordonsrörelsefunktioner;

   Abstract : Passenger safety and comfort are important aspects in the process of vehicle development. The world is heading towards developing the safest possible vehicle on the road. Using vehicle motion control functions is one of the ways to enhance vehicle stability. These motion control functions need to be developed in an energy optimised way. READ MORE
