Abstract:

This PhD by Publication reflects on a program of research, which is informed by a number of approaches developed and manifested in debates surrounding the theory and practice of the use of video and sound installations in a contemporary art context. The submission brings together key critically recognised accomplishments in my exhibited and published body of work, which address the broader themes of 'places of departure' and 'mobile transitions'. It consists of three parts. Each analyses a body of works, including the video and sound installations entitled Point of Departure 2006, Adrift 2006,

Abstract:

This thesis considers Kant's departure from moral naturalism. In doing so, it explores the relationship between ethics, naturalism, normativity and freedom. Throughout this exploration, I build the case that Kant's ethics of autonomy allows us to make better sense of ethics than Hume's moral naturalism. Hume believes that morality is ultimately grounded in human nature. Kant finds this understanding of ethics limiting. He insists that we are free - we can critically reflect upon our nature and (to an extent) alter it accordingly. This freedom, I contend, renders the moral naturalist's appeal

Abstract:

2011 - 2012<br>In this work we introduce a mathematical model to improve the aircraft departures planning system. The objective is to maximize the airport performances, minimize delays in the runway operations and to support the air controller work. The followed approach is based on the combination of a one runway two stages algorithm with a multi-runway procedure to find the better departures scheduling. By means of the two stages algorithm, a complex problem dealing with multi-objective functions is split into two interconnected one dimensional problems. In the first stage the aim is to mini

Abstract:

<p>A lane departure warning system relying exclusively on a camera has several shortcomings and tends to be sensitive to, e.g., bad weather and abrupt manoeuvres. To handle these situations, the system proposed in this thesis uses a dynamic model of the vehicle and integration of relative motion sensors to estimate the vehicle’s position on the road. The relative motion is measured using vision, inertial, and vehicle sensors. All these sensors types are affected by errors such as offset, drift and quantization. However the different sensors are sensitive to different types of errors, e.g., the

Abstract:

This thesis is focused on airport departure operations; its objective is to assign a value to surface surveillance information within a collaborative framework. The research develops a cooperative concept that improves the control of departure operations at busy airports and evaluates its merit using a classical and widely accepted airport departure model. The research then assumes departure operations are collaboratively controlled and develops a stochastic model of taxi operations on the airport surface. Finally, this study investigates the effect of feeding back different levels of surface

I detta examensarbete undersöks möjligheten att kunna använda en positioneringsmetod som inte enbart förlitar sig på den uppmätta signalstyrkan. Istället används en metod som bestämmer från vilken vinkel en signal uppkommer ifrån. Den här tekniken kallas för direction-finding. När informationen om signalens vinkel fastställts används den i ett positioningsfilter som uppskattar positionen. Två tillvägagångssätt har använts i den här rapporten, ett där enbart vinkeln används och ett där både signalstyrka och vinkel används.

Abstract:

Increased efficiency at airports is necessary to reduce delays and fuel consumption. Many of the busiest airports in the nation have at least one pair of closely spaced parallel runways (CSPRs), defined by a separation of less than 2500 ft, with one runway dedicated to arrivals and the other to departures. CSPRs experience a large decrease in capacity under instrument conditions because they can no longer operate independently. In order to mitigate this decrease in capacity and to increase efficiency, proposed herein is a departure regulator for runways so configured, along with a plan of s

A departure control system (DCS) is an administrative tool used by airports to handle boarding and baggage management. However the DCSs used by smaller swedish airports are outdated and tied to desktop applications which are a hassle to update. The solution to this problem is to develop a new web based DCS. A DCS needs hardware to fully function (scanners, printers), this poses the problem of communicating between a web browser and hardware. To solve this problem a local server was developed to handle the hardware and communication with the browser which was then integrated into a web applicat

Abstract:

This thesis investigates analytical dynamic system optimal assignment with departure time choice in a rigorous and original way. Dynamic system optimal assignment is formulated here as a state-dependent optimal control problem. A fixed volume of traffic is assigned to departure times and routes such that the total system travel cost is minimized. Although the system optimal assignment is not a realistic representation of traffic, it provides a bound on performance and shows how the transport planner or engineer can make the best use of the road system, and as such it is a useful benchmark for

For many metropolitan areas in U.S., flight traffic is distributed between multiple airports that service the region.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects these trends in departure volume are having on overall departure delay times in these regions.

Abstract:

In order to respond to growing interregional rail traffic, rail capacity should be allocated better. To achieve this, one possibility is to optimise suitability of departure times for rail passengers in the timetabling process. The suitability of departure and arrival times refers to how well the timetable can diminish constraints on passengers that must adapt their activities to train schedules. However, current knowledge on this issue is limited. Indeed, only few studies have quantified how passengers valuate departure time suitability. These studies are also quite brief in their coverage of

This thesis argues that the primary catalyst for Paul Auster’s work is the loss of authority. In his poetry this is chiefly the loss of the language’s ability, and hence the poet’s ability to reflect accurately and with sincere attention the objects of the gaze. Following The Invention of Solitude, the absent authority becomes the father and by analogy God and foundational mythologies for national and authorial identity. In Auster’s texts we see two possible reasons for the loss. First, a tendency for characters to retreat melancholically and sophistically into the self. Alternatively characte

Four crash modes are overrepresented among fatalities: single vehicle road departure crashes, control loss crashes, cross-centerline head-on crashes, and pedestrian/cyclist crashes [2].
