  2. 6. Description and Analysis of Data and Errors in GPS Meteorology

    Author : Borys Stoew; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; atmospheric water vapor; global positioning system; propagation delay; meteorology; ensemble assimilation; GPS;

    Abstract : This report presents the relation between remote sensing techniques used for estimation of atmospheric water vapor content, and numerical weather prediction. The thesis makes an overview of the methods for estimation of the zenith wet/total delay (ZWD/ZTD) for radio waves in the neutral atmosphere, and a statistical description of data in relation to the sampling problem for atmospheric water vapor.

  4. 7. Multi-Sensor Data Synchronization using Mobile Phones

    Author : Jonas Wåhslén; Thomas Lindh; Jens Eliason; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wireless body sensor networks; wireless personal area network; sport technology; Bluetooth performance; time synchronization; data fusion; mobile phone application.;

    Abstract : Body sensor networking is a rapidly growing technology. Today wearable sensors are used to measure and monitor e.g. pulse, temperature, skin conductance, heart activity, and movement (through GPS or inertial measurement units). READ MORE

  5. 8. Urban Travel Time Estimation from Sparse GPS Data : An Efficient and Scalable Approach

    Author : Mahmood Rahmani; Harilaos Koutsopoulos; Nikolas Geroliminis; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; map-matching; path inference; sparse GPS probes; floating car data; arterial; urban area; digital road network; iterative travel time estimation; fixed point problem; Stockholm; taxi; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Abstract : The use of GPS probes in traffic management is growing rapidly as the required data collection infrastructure is increasingly in place, with significant number of mobile sensors moving around covering expansive areas of the road network. Many travelers carry with them at least one device with a built-in GPS receiver. READ MORE

  6. 9. A Multi-Dimensional Approach to Human Mobility and Transportation Mode Detection Using GPS Data

    Author : Paria Sadeghian; Johan Håkansson; Xiaoyun Zhao; Mengjie Han; Kevin Heaslip; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Transport mode detection; Machine learning; Statistical learning; Rule-based method; Data labelling;

    Abstract : GPS tracking data is an essential resource for analyzing human travel patterns and evaluating the effects on transportation systems. The primary challenge, however, is to accurately identify the modes of transportation within unlabeled GPS data. These approaches range from simple rule-based systems to advanced machine-learning techniques. READ MORE

  7. 10. Approaching well-founded comprehensive nuclear data uncertainties : Fitting imperfect models to imperfect data

    Author : Petter Helgesson; Henrik Sjöstrand; Helmut Leeb; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Evaluated nuclear data; uncertainty propagation; uncertainty quantification; model defects; Gaussian processes; TALYS; TENDL; covariances.; Fysik med inriktning mot tillämpad kärnfysik; Physics with specialization in Applied Nuclear Physics;

    Abstract : Nuclear physics has a wide range of applications; e.g., low-carbon energy production, medical treatments, and non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. Nuclear data (ND) constitute necessary input to computations needed within all these applications. READ MORE
