  2. 1. Cognitive Workload and the Driver : Understanding the Effects of Cognitive Workload on Driving from a Human Information Processing Perspective

    Author : Christopher J.D. Patten; Ola Svenson; Håkan Alm; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Cognitive workload; human information processing; driver distraction; human error; performance shaping factors PSF ; intelligent transport systems ITS ; peripheral detection task PDT ; Psychology; Psykologi; psykologi; Psychology;

    Abstract : This doctoral dissertation in psychology focuses on present day transport research issues. Society is affected by the way that our transport system works. In one way or another, the use of the transport system involves different levels of human involvement and control. READ MORE

  4. 2. Teleoperation and the influence of driving feedback on drivers’ behaviour and experience

    Author : Lin Zhao; Mikael Nybacka; Pernilla Ulfvengren; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teleoperation; driving behaviour; driving feedback; driving performance; driving experience; motion cueing feedback; steering force feedback; Farkostteknik; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering;

    Abstract : Automated vehicles (AVs) have been developing at a rapid pace over the past few years. However, many difficulties still remain for achieving full Level-5 AVs. This signifies that AVs still require human operators to intervene or assist, such as taking over control of AVs or selecting their routes. READ MORE

  5. 3. Methods of Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics for Astronomy

    Author : Ralf Flicker; Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Adaptive optics; anisoplanatism; laser guide stars; performance estimation; wavefront reconstruction; extremely large telescopes; optics; Electromagnetism; Elektromagnetism; acoustics; Astronomy; akustik; space research; optik; multi-conjugate; cosmic chemistry; Astronomi; rymdvetenskap; kosmisk kemi; Fysicumarkivet A:2003:Flicker;

    Abstract : This work analyses several aspects of multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) for astronomy. The research ranges from fundamental and technical studies for present-day MCAO projects, to feasibility studies of high-order MCAO instruments for the extremely large telescopes (ELTs) of the future.

  6. 4. Image processing methods to study the living hearing organ

    Author : Miriam von Tiedemann; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this thesis we are developing image processing methods allowing one to probe the structure and function of the mammalian hearing organ, an intricate cellular assembly with a highly specialized three-dimensional organization. Confocal as well as electron microscopy was used for image acquisition. READ MORE

  7. 5. Structural assessment procedures for existing concrete bridges : Experiences from failure tests of the Kiruna Bridge

    Author : Niklas Bagge; Björn Täljsten; Paulo Cruz; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Anchorage; carbon fibre reinforced polymers; concrete; existing bridges; finite element analysis; flexure; full-scale test; load-carrying capacity; residual prestress force; punching; safety verification; shear; structural assessment; structural behaviour; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : Assessing existing bridges is an important task in the sustainable management ofinfrastructure. In practice, structural bridge assessments are usually conducted usingtraditional and standardised methods, despite knowledge that these methods oftenprovide conservative estimates. READ MORE
