2. 6. Knowledge-Based Systems for Preliminary Design of Structures

   Author : Per Löfqvist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns methods for the application of knowledge-based techniques to preliminary structural design. A practical study of these methods is done by developing a prototype for preliminary design of highway bridges (called PREBRI). READ MORE

4. 7. Geometry Optimization of an Interior Permanent Magnet Machine for Electric Vehicles - Life Cycle Cost Minimization for City, Rural and Highway Driving

   Author : Elisabet Jansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Optimization; Finite Element Analysis; Interior Permanent Magnet Machine; Drive Cycles; Life Cycle Cost; Battery Electric Vehicle; Electric Machine Design;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the benefits of customizing an Interior Permanent magnet Machine (IPM) for a specific combination of city, rural and highway driving. Focus lies on the potential to reduce the Life Cycle Cost (LCC) of the IPM and power electronic converter, for an example Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), by custom-making the IPM. READ MORE

5. 8. Design and Performance Analysis of Wireless Networked Control Systems

   Author : Burak Demirel; Mikael Johansson; Luca Schenato; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Networked control; switched systems; optimal control; event-triggered control;

   Abstract : Networked control systems (NCSs) are distributed systems that use shared communication networks to exchange information between system components such as sensors, controllers and actuators. The networked control system architecture promises advantages in terms of increased flexibility, reduced wiring and lower maintenance costs, and is finding its way into a wide variety of applications, ranging from automobiles and automated highway systems to process control, and power distribution systems.

   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Network-on-Chip; Chip Multi Many-core Processors; Multiprocessor System-on-Chip; High-Performance Computing; Cache Coherence; Virtual Channel Reservation; Admission Control; Artificial Neural Network; AXI4; Quality of Service; Network-on-Chip; Chip Multi Many-core Processors; Multiprocessor Sys-tem on a Chip; High-Performance Computing; Cache Coherence; Virtual Channel Reser-vation; Admission Control; Artificial Neural Network; AXI4; Quality of Servic; Informations- och kommunikationsteknik; Information and Communication Technology;

   Abstract : With the development of on-chip manufacturing technologies and the requirements of high-performance computing, the core count is growing quickly in Chip Multi/Many-core Processors (CMPs) and Multiprocessor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) to support larger scale parallel execution. Network-on-Chip (NoC) has become the de facto solution for CMPs and MPSoCs in addressing the communication challenge. READ MORE

7. 10. Modelling of Traffic Performance for Swedish Roads and Motorways

   Author : Per Strömgren; Harilaos Koutsopoulos; Nagui Rouphail; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Rural highway; Intersection; Capacity; Critical gap; Flare; Micro simulation; Motorway; Ramp; Weaving; Merging; Queue; Delay; Over-saturated; Time-space; Roadwork zone; variable speed limit; harmonization; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of five scientific articles oriented towards capacity. Managing capacity constraints with associated delays is a big issue at new design as well as at trimming existing traffic facilities. READ MORE
