1. Improved road design for future maintenance : analysis of road barrier repair costs
Abstract : The cost of a road construction over its service life is a function of the design, quality of construction, maintenance strategies and maintenance operations. Unfortunately, designers often neglect a very important aspect which is the possibility to perform future maintenance activities. READ MORE

2. Traffic Situation Management for Driving Automation of Articulated Heavy Road Transports - From driver behaviour towards highway autopilot
Abstract : In this thesis traffic situation management for driving automation of long combination vehicles is discussed. The automation targets high-speed driving in multiple-lane, one-way roads. Traffic situation predictions, traffic situation manoeuvres and driving principles are studied specifically. READ MORE

3. Computational Engineering Development and Implementation of Computational Methods for Structural Analysis and Design
Abstract : 'Computational engineering' (CE) is computation based on mathematical models for use in engineering design. CE can be used to study and optimise structures and processes in industry and other branches of society to utilise resources in the most effective way. Modelling, simulation, optimisation and visualisation are basic methods of CE. READ MORE

4. Design and Assessment of Battery Electric Vehicle Powertrain, with Respect to Performance, Energy Consumption and Electric Motor Thermal Capability
Abstract : In this thesis, various drive cycles, legislative, official real-world and measured, have been studied and characterized based on their speed and acceleration content. Three reference vehicles (a City car, a Highway car and a Sport car) were conceptualized after performance requirements, with data on existing battery electric cars as a frame of reference. READ MORE
