1. Speed Choice : The Driver, the Road and Speed Limits
Abstract : Speed choice is one of the more characteristic features of driver behaviour. The speed a driver chooses to travel at determines the degree of difficulty he or she operates under. Higher speeds lead to more accidents, higher accident risk and more severe consequences of an accident. READ MORE

2. Cooperative Variable Speed Limit Systems : Modeling and Evaluation using Microscopic Traffic Simulation
Abstract : During the last decades the road traffic has increased tremendously leading to congestion, safety issues and increased environmental impacts. As a result, many countries are continuously trying to find improvements and new solutions to solve these issues. READ MORE

3. Urban driving patterns - characterisation, variability and environmental implications
Abstract : Driving patterns, i.e. the speed and acceleration profiles of vehicles affect exhaust emission and fuel consumption considerably. READ MORE

4. A Differentiable Approach to Stochastic Differential Equations : the Smoluchowski Limit Revisited
Abstract : In this thesis we generalize results by Smoluchowski [43], Chandrasekhar[6], Kramers, and Nelson [30]. Their aim is to construct Brownian motion as a limit of stochastic processes with differentiable sample paths by exploiting a scaling limit which is a particular type of averaging studied by Papanicolao [35].

5. Visuospatial inattention and processing speed : Predictors of long-term outcome and patterns of change after ischemic stroke
Abstract : Impairments of visuospatial attention, language, and processing speed (PS) are common early after stroke and have been associated with unfavorable short-term functional outcomes but little is known about this relationship in the long-term. This thesis investigates 1) the potential importance of visuospatial inattention (VSI) and language impairments (LI) as predictors of functional outcomes 7 years after an ischemic stroke (studies I-II) and 2) presence of lateralized inattention 7 years after stroke and potential predictors of this phenomenon (study III).
