  2. 6. On enhancing joint risk management throughout a project's lifecycle : Empirical studies of Swedish construction projects

    Author : Ekaterina Osipova; Stuart Green; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Construction Engineering and Management; Byggproduktion;

    Abstract : Due to their complexity, construction projects involve significant risks thatmust be managed in order to meet the main project objectives in terms of cost,time and quality. While some risks can be foreseen at the beginning of aproject and allocated among the project actors, other risks are difficult topredict. READ MORE

  4. 7. Optimization-Based Motion Planning and Model Predictive Control for Autonomous Driving : With Experimental Evaluation on a Heavy-Duty Construction Truck

    Author : Pedro F. Lima; Bo Wahlberg; Paolo Falcone; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Automatic Control; Autonomous Driving; Model Predictive Control; Motion Planning; Optimization; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses smooth motion planning and path following control of autonomous large and heavy industrial vehicles, such as trucks and buses, using optimization-based techniques. Autonomous driving is a rapidly expanding technology that promises to play an important role in future society, since it aims at more energy efficient, more convenient, and safer transport systems.

  5. 8. Tailoring native compilation of Java for real-time systems

    Author : Anders Nilsson; Institutionen för datavetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; systems; numerical analysis; Java; embedded systems; real-time; aspect-oriented; object-oriented; Computer science; compiler construction; control; Datalogi; numerisk analys; system; kontroll;

    Abstract : Our everyday appliances ranging from toys to vehicles, as well as the equipment used to manufacture them, contain an increasing number of embedded computers. Embedded systems software often implement functionality that is crucial for the operation of the device, resulting in a variety of timing requirements and resource utilization constraints to be fulfilled.

  6. 9. Distributed Control of Electric Drive Systems via Ethernet

    Author : Lilantha Samaranayake; Chandur Sadarangani; Alexander Medvedev; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; adaptive sampling scheme; control delay; delay compensation; distributed control systems; Ethernet; Ethernet ready sensor actuator module; sampling period; Electrical engineering; Elektroteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis is on adapting standard Switched Ethernet for distributed control applications in electric drive systems. The critical issue of Ethernet here is to provide services to real-time applications. READ MORE

  7. 10. Structures of subcontracting : Work organisation, control, and labour in the Swedish building sector

    Author : Rasmus Ahlstrand; Sociologi; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; work organisation; control; subcontracting; masked staffing; labour process; work organisation; control; subcontracting; masked staffing; labour process;

    Abstract : The organisation of work in the Swedish building sector is changing due to increased subcontracting and the adoption of construction management. In this study, construction management refers to a specific subcontracting regime, in which contractors externalise all parts of the production process and organise work through subcontractors.
