  2. 6. Driver modeling: Data collection, model analysis, and optimization

    Author : Ola Benderius; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; driving simulator; driver modeling; stochastic optimization; simulation software; genetic algorithm;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns aspects of driver modeling, with an emphasis on critical near-crash scenarios, involving time spans of around 10 s of driving. Here,driver modeling has been studied using both computer simulations and experiments carried out in a high-fidelity driving simulator. READ MORE

  4. 7. De-icing salt and the roadside environment : Air-borne exposure, damage to Norway spruce and system monitoring

    Author : Göran Blomqvist; KTH; []
    Keywords : road; de-icing salt; air-borne; environmental impact; vegetation damage; Norway spruce; seedling; follow-up; monitoring; indicator;

    Abstract : After decades of investigation, we still have to deal withthe problem of environmental effects of the use of de-icingsalt on roads. Lacking useful indicators of the system, westill do not know the environmental utility of ameliorativemeasures taken. READ MORE

  5. 8. Mechanisms of Metal Dusting

    Author : Peter Szakálos; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; metal dusting; mechanism; driving force; kinetics; high temperature corrosion; carburization; stainlesssteel; Ni-base alloys; iron; alumina formers; FeCrAl; oxidation; carbon nanotubes; discontinuous precipitation; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : The primary intention with this Doctoral thesis is to fillin the knowledge gaps and raise the level of understandingregarding the different metal dusting mechanisms in general andexplain the process in detail for high alloyed materials.Considerable effort is put into identifying the driving forcesand elucidating the diffusional processes in metal dusting.

  6. 9. On Statistical Methods for Safety Validation of Automated Vehicles

    Author : Daniel Åsljung; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; performance evaluation; extreme value theory; Automotive; validation; automated vehicles; simulation; verification; automated driving systems;

    Abstract : Automated vehicles (AVs) are expected to bring safer and more convenient transport in the future. Consequently, before introducing AVs at scale to the general public, the required levels of safety should be shown with evidence. However, statistical evidence generated by brute force testing using safety drivers in real traffic does not scale well. READ MORE

  7. 10. An integrative approach to neurocardiologic mechanisms of heart disease risk in professional drivers : application of neuro-psycophysiologic and work environment models

    Author : Reza Emdad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : professional drivers; ischemic heart disease; EEC; ERP; TypeA behavior; Stress; Job Strain; headlight glare; night driving;

    Abstract : Aim: This dissertation aims to apply, develop and integrate neurophysiologic, psychophysiologic, and work environment models, along with behavioral and biomedical risk factors" to provide insight into the neurocardiologic mechanisms of heart disease risk in professional drivers (PD). Methods: Subjects were male PD, age 25-52: 13 with ischemic heart disease(IHD), 12 hypertensives (HTN), 10 borderline hypertensives (BHTN) and 34 normotensives (NTN), and 23 non-PD controls. READ MORE
