  2. 1. Model Fidelity in Mission Scenario Simulations for Systems of Systems : A Case Study of Maritime Search and Rescue

    Author : Sofia Schön; Petter Krus; Christopher Jouannet; Carina Marcus; Kristian Amadori; Alessandro Bertoni; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Systems of Systems (SoS) represent a view where individual, independent systems named Constituent System (CS) collaborate to achieve overarching capabilities not attainable by a single CS alone. In cyberphysical systems, CS can be engineered entities like boats or aircraft, when they collaborate in an environment it can be viewed as an SoS. READ MORE

  4. 2. Retrieval of Ocean Surface Currents and Winds Using Satellite SAR backscatter and Doppler frequency shift

    Author : Anis Elyouncha; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Doppler centroid analysis; Bayesian inversion; ocean surface winds; Ocean surface currents; synthetic aperture radar; along-track InSAR;

    Abstract : Ocean surface winds and currents play an important role for weather, climate, marine life, ship navigation, oil spill drift and search and rescue. In-situ observations of the ocean are sparse and costly. Satellites provide a useful complement to these observations. READ MORE

    Author : Fredrik Båberg; Petter Ögren; Paolo Robuffo Giordano; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Datalogi; Computer Science;

    Abstract : Robots are often used for “dirty, dull and dangerous” jobs, where time, money or lives can be saved. A field with dangerous situations is search and rescue, with structural collapses and toxic environment. In those situations, robots have the potential to save lives. READ MORE

  6. 4. Snowmobile, motorcycle and moose-car accidents : aspects on injury control

    Author : Ulf Björnstig; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Injury; accident; prevention; snowmobile; motorcycle; moose-car collision;

    Abstract : Injuries related to snowmobiles, motorcycles and moose-car collisions have increased. The aim of the present thesis was to analyse mechanisms and consequences in fatal and non-fatal accidents of these types, and to penetrate possible preventive measures.SnowmobilesThe median age of the injured was 30 and of the killed 32, males pre­dominating.

    Abstract : International law provides a duty to rescue everyone in distress at sea. Rescue at sea often entails recovering survivors and bringing them on board ships or other rescue units. While their subsequent delivery and disembarkation may not always be controversial, they frequently are if those assisted are refugees and migrants. READ MORE
