11. Towards Crash-Free Driving: Opportunities and Limitations of Automated Emergency Braking in Intersections
Abstract : Intersections are a global traffic safety concern. In the Unites States, about half of the fatal road traffic accidents take place at intersections or were related to them. In the European Union, about one fifth of the road traffic fatalities occur at intersections. READ MORE

12. Predicting Safety Benefits of Automated Emergency Braking at Intersections - Virtual simulations based on real-world accident data
Abstract : Introduction: Intersections are a global traffic safety concern. In the United States, around half of all fatal road traffic accidents take place at intersections or were related to them. In the European Union, about one fifth of road traffic fatalities occur at intersections. READ MORE

13. Laboratory Investigations of Frost Action Mechanisms in Soils
Abstract : Phase change of the water in the soil skeleton under cold climate conditions (also known as frost action in soils) affects soil properties and can be responsible for serious alterations in a soil body; causing damages (due to the volumetric expansion known as frost heave) to structures on or below the ground surface such as foundations, roads, railways, retaining walls and pipelines, etc. In order to improve the current design methods for roads against frost action, the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) has initiated a research program.

14. Mechanical Characterisation of Coatings and Composites-Depth-Sensing Indentation and Finite Element Modelling
Abstract : In the past two decades depth-sensing indentation has becomea widely used technique to measure the mechanical properties ofmaterials. This technique is particularly suitable for thecharacterisation of materials at sub-micro or nano scale thoughthere is a tendency to extend its application to the micro ormacro scale. READ MORE

15. Safe Robotic Manipulation to Extract Objects from Piles : From 3D Perception to Object Selection
Abstract : This thesis is concerned with the task of autonomous selection of objects to remove (unload) them from a pile in robotic manipulation systems. Applications such as the automation of logistics processes and service robots require an ability to autonomously manipulate objects in the environment. READ MORE
