No discussion on architecture and race would be complete without a look at the slave fortresses of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. The importation of African slaves to the Americas was the economic catalyst that subsequently catapulted America in a world superpower, and questionably into imperial leadership. Speckled along the coast of West Africa, the architecture of the slave trade is as monumental and systematically oppressive as the institution it sustained. Due to the rise in prison privatization and the common practice of leasing prison labor to corporations while paying the offenders a menial fee, the American prison industry is operating more and more like slave fortresses. Spatially, the spaces are particularly similar in the areas of exterior formal qualities and parallel evolution of urban planning.

In my thesis I am studying the prison of Regina Coeli in Rome. Completed in 1892, it occupies the space of the convent after which it was named: the convent of Santa Maria Regina Coeli. The particular prison was built in the aftermath of the Italian unification when national identity was still formulated and the economy industrialized. At the same period, the discussion on prison architecture was shifting from an interest in the panopticon-centered structures to the architecture of the cell. Penitentiaries were transformed from sites of mere constrain, to sites of correction, to later develop into laboratories of identity. Along with the research on the typical cell, the field of criminology was objectifying the criminal body, in pursuit of the delinquent type. Although rarely documented, Regina Coeli was built in this transition before modernity appeared in the structure of the penitentiary institutions.
(cont.) I explore the particular prison not only as the product of this multiple transition, but also as the vehicle to forge it. Being the main custodial prison of the Kingdom of Italy, Regina Coeli constituted the portal to the Italian penitentiary network. The convicts awaiting trial, executing the last part of their sentence or pending transfer to other prisons or penal colonies were situated in the prison. In my thesis the issues of national identity, architectural historiography and identity politics are addressed through the study of the prison of Regina Coeli.

Full textThe aim of thesis is to study the development of the prison between 1791 and 1848. Part One (‘The philosophical and legislative origins of the penal prison') investigates the philosophical underpinning of penal law during the period, and, in particular, considers the first purpose-built places of detention constructed by the French state. Part Two (‘Consequences of the rise of the individual prison cell in France: spaces and responses) presents an analytical approach to studying the prison as an architectural space, especially the evolution of the ideology behind the prison cell and the formal-spatial qualities of the cell itself. The thesis necessarily draws from a variety of disciplines. In order to discern how the penal prison's main exponents shaped its development at the end of the eighteenth century, Part One brings together material from the histories of law, political philosophy and ideas. By contrast, Part Two concerns the theory of architecture and scrutinises how the formal prison space was constructed both in reality and the imagination: in addressing the link between the detainee's physique and this type of constrained space, it draws from the sociology of the body and the psycho-sociology of space

Full textIn the wake of a reformatory drive initiated back in the middle of the 18th century, prisons erected after the French Revolution are the results of a redefinition of prison architecture, henceforth a fully fledged architectural programme in its own right. Taking as an example the prisons successively fitted our or built in Paris and in the Seine department in the 19th century, wether reset or built from scratch, the present study deals with the history of designs as a result of the development of penal policies during that period and with regard to confinement regulations. Under the vigilant gaze of decison markers, and regularly inspected, the penitentiary institutions in the capital city represent an outstanding laboratory for experimenting the measures to be later implemented nationwide. This analysis concentrates on the work of the architect responsible for building prisons ; it starts out with a detailed presentation of the administrative framework and procedures centered around the strong and sometimes contradictory requirements of the programme. Since a prison a town within the town, undertakes to reproduce behind its walls all the aspects of the daily life of a large number of individuals, the challenge for prison architecture and architects consists in using and trying to fit to its own constraint practically all common architectural typologies, from lodgins to workshop, from hospitals to church, from school to barracks. Beyond a simple case study, the present thesis is designed to inform a future general history of prison architecture in France

Incarcerating over two million prisoners a year costs the government an astounding twenty-six billion dollars annually, which means the government spends the same amount of money on each inmate as any American would make a year working a minimum wage job. Although cities "generate" the majority of offenders most U.S. prisons are located outside of cities. Every year more than six hundred thousand prisoners are released to return home, but almost fifty percent of the released return back to prison within three years. This migration of offenders back and forth between the cities they live in and rural prisons rendersthese prisons to be a significant part of the urban gestalt. This migration of people from their home communities to rural prisons renders prisons and people they house to be culturally and economically an integral part of urban community. Nevertheless, the money spent on prisons is housed outside of the communities. This thesis does not claim to be a reformation to prison system but, rather, to prison architecture. Through the medium of architectural design, this thesis will attempt to instigate a dialogue questioning the following hypothesis: Spatial and visual interaction with the outside world is necessary for the sustainable reformation of prison inmates. Economic revitalization of the areas with high rates of incarceration can subsequently reduce these rates. Merging these two propositions gives a rise to following key questions: "What are the architectural implications of a prison that is both secure to prevent escape and porous to allow for the infiltration of the community that surrounds it? And, what are the urban implications of an institution that, instead of benefiting corporations, gives back to the community in terms of space and resources?"
(cont.) I propose to test the limits of this proposal in an architectural and urban form dismantled over the fabric of New Orleans. This report will describe the background research conducted in order to define an architectural problem for a Master of Architecture thesis and the design solution that came out of this hypothesis.

Full textThe thesis questions in which way the sublime has influenced the architecture built in the Alps, from the beginning of tourism until today.The first part shows how the Alps became in the beginning of the 18th century the topos of a new perception of nature, which crystallized in the notion of the sublime. Situated between terror and enthusiasm, this term implies an experience of the limit. Longing for this sensation, the travelers went to the Alps. A little later, mountains were constructed artificially in the cities, first as a symbol for liberty during the French Revolution, then in form of illusionist panorama-paintings, up to factice Swiss sceneries in amusement-parks in the end of the 19th century. This induced a flood of tourists, transforming the Alps into a “Dreamland”, for different kind of dreams.The main part analyses in which way the sublime became the guiding principle for various architectures: While the alpine grand-hotel framed the scenery by panoramic windows in order to contemplate the wilderness outside, crystalline architectures are conceived out of utopic visions, looking for a harmonious world. In the end of the 19th century the focus on the “wild nature” was transferred on to singular elements of nature, especially the sun, which (being considered as a remedy) became a real myth. This becomes evident in the “Live Reform”-groups, as well as in the advertisements for sanatoriums. The Alps were considered as a “therapeutic landscape”, as well as an ideal territory for education. Numerous children-colonies have been built by different religious and political institutions, leading to a fight about the appropriation of the children; the ideological differences became visible in the architectural typologies. But the Alps were also considered as an ideal territory to experiment the sensation of giddiness and speed. This became possible by the increasing net of cable-cars and sport-hotels, where cantilevers emphasized the experience of the limit (inherent to the sublime). With the upcoming mass tourism it was not anymore the wild nature which was considered as sublime, but the technic, which dominates nature.The analysis of the alpine architecture through the prism of the sublime leads to an observation of the actual alpine tourism, emphasizing the radicalism of the various phenomena throughout history. The different figures of the sublime open towards a reflection about the future constructions, in the continuity of a visionary relationship between man and nature
Die Dissertation hinterfragt auf welche Weise das Erhabene die Architektur in den Alpen beeinflusst hat, vom Beginn des Tourismus an bis heute. Im ersten Abschnitt wird aufgezeigt, wie die Alpen zu Beginn des 18. Jahrhunderts zum Topos einer neuartigen Naturbetrachtung wurden, die sich im Begriff des Sublimen (Erhabenen) kristallisierte. Zwischen Schrecken und Faszination angesiedelt, liegt diesem Gefühlszustand eine Grenzerfahrung zugrunde. Auf der Suche nach diesem Gemütszustand, suchten Reisende sehnsuchtsvoll die Welt der Berge auf; diese wurde alsbald in künstlicher Form in den Städten rekonstruiert, vom Freiheitssymbol der Französischen Revolution angefangen, über illusionistische Panoramabilder, bis hin zum Vergnügungspark im 19.Jh. Die daraufhin einsetzende Reiseflut verwandelte die Alpen in ein Land, in dem ganz unterschiedliche Träume projiziert wurden. In den folgenden Kapiteln wird untersucht, inwiefern das Sublime bei den unterschiedlichen Architekturen als Leitmotiv erscheint: Während beim alpinen Grandhotel die Aussicht auf das Panorama inszeniert wurde, um das Spektakel der „wilden Natur“ zu betrachten, standen bei den Kristallarchitekturen utopische-visionäre Gedanken im Vordergrund. Der Fokus auf die wilde Natur verlagerte sich gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts auf einzelne Naturelemente, insbesondere auf die Sonne, die als Heilmittel zum Mythos erhoben wurde. Dies kommt sowohl in den Lebensreformgruppen zum Ausdruck, als auch auf den Werbeplakaten für Sanatorien. Die Alpen fungierten als „therapeutische Landschaft“ und wurden auch als idealer Ort der Erziehung angesehen. Verschiedene religiöse und politische Institution errichteten Kinderkolonien, wobei sich ein wahrer ideologischer „Kampf um das Kind“ entspann, der architektonisch gesehen zu sehr unterschiedlichen Resultaten führte. Die Alpen waren aber auch ein ideales Territorium, um den Rausch der Bewegung auszuleben. Dies wurde durch ein immer dichter werdendes Netz von Seilbahnen, Sporthotels und Hütten ermöglicht, wobei die Grenzerfahrung des Sublimen architektonisch bewusst inszeniert wurde. Mit dem aufkommenden Massentourismus wurde nicht mehr die wilde Natur, sondern die Technik als erhaben angesehen, die es ermöglichte, die Berge zu dominieren. Die Analyse der alpinen Architektur durch das Prisma des Sublimen führt uns zum Schluss zu einer Betrachtung des heutigen alpinen Tourismus im Spiegel des Wandels des Erhabenen-Begriffs, wobei die Radikalität der verschiedenen Phänomene hervorgehoben wird. Die unterschiedlichen Figuren des Erhabenen öffnen somit ein Nachdenken über das zukünftige Bauen in den Alpen, in der Kontinuität einer bestimmen Beziehung zwischen dem Menschen und der Natur

Full textThis work takes place in the global project PRISE (Plate-forme de Recherche pour l'Ingénierie des Systèmes Embarqués) in which the focus is to develop an execution platform for embedded software. Embedded software are said criticals and, therefore, are subject to specific design rules.Particularly, these software must meet real time constraints and thus ensure a temporal predictive behaviour in order to always give accurate results with respect to corresponding timing deadlines.The main objective of this thesis is to study the use of distributed simulation techniques (and specifically the HLA standard) to meet the real-time and hybrid simulation needs of the PRISE platform. To comply with these real-time constraints and ensure the predictability of a distributed simulation, we must have a complete view of the whole problem and in particular the different levels of action: application, middleware, software, hardware and also a formal level for validation of the timing behaviour.This work is based on the RTI (Run Time Infrastructure, HLA middleware) from ONERA laboratory called : the CERTI and proposes a methodological approach adapted to take into account these different levels of action. Some case studies, including a flight simulator of an aircraft, have been specified, implemented and tested on the PRISE platform

Full textThe 2008 consultation called “l’avenir du Paris métropolitain, le grand pari de l’agglomération parisienne” was organized by the French Bureau of Research in Architecture, Urbanism and Landscape at President Nicolas Sarkozy’s request. Ten teams were gathered, led by architects and composed of professionals and researchers working on urban studies. In 2010, those teams were asked to join the “Scientific Comity” of the “Atelier International du Grand Paris” (AIGP) which was created especially for them to continue their work. In 2012, five more teams joined the AIGP. They worked together until 2016. Therefore, as the government launched action to transform and develop the Île-de-France area (creating a Secretary of State dedicated to that purpose, creating a development company tasked with the creation of a new metro network, and voting three laws …), a group of professionals and researchers worked for eight years to produce a “prospective diagnosis” for the Parisian metropolitan area. For which specific skills were they hired? In the context of this political request, how did those teams work and what did they produce?

Full textO presente trabalho apresenta um panorama das questões que permeiam o sistema penitenciário, no que consiste em fatores determinantes para o planejamento do espaço arquitetônico. A análise se apresenta sobre os atores que influenciam o arquiteto no ato de projetar o espaço penitenciário. Faz-se um apanhado geral sobre as políticas públicas voltadas à questão penitenciária, relacionando-se os poderes executivo e judiciário, quanto às contradições existentes entre os mesmos, com o intuito de compreender como se processa a escolha da configuração do partido arquitetônico predominante nos espaços penitenciários. O objetivo principal do trabalho é compreender qual a função social do espaço penitenciário do ponto de vista dos diversos atores interessados no sistema, para que se possa identificar se esse espaço cumpre a sua função e, caso não a cumpra, quais os equívocos apresentados quanto ao significado desse espaço, para que se possa diagnosticar quais aspectos necessitam ser mudados e quais os que devem permanecer inalterados. A partir do pressuposto de que o objetivo da pena de reclusão é a ressocialização do indivíduo, a relevância do trabalho consiste em analisar o espaço penitenciário do ponto de vista da recuperação, a fim de identificar se o mesmo favorece ou prejudica o objetivo da pena (ressocializar e punir). Os resultados encontrados indicam que existem cinco aspectos que consideram a função social do espaço penitenciário punitiva e segregatória, coletados através de entrevistas. Conclui-se ainda que os projetos arquitetônicos analisados no trabalho apresentam partido arquitetônico configurado como segregatório ou ressocializador a depender da visão do arquiteto autor do projeto respectivo, o que revela a influencia do autor do projeto na aplicação da pena de reclusão.

Our current global health crisis has clearly rendered how a lack of stable housing, access to care, and the effects of climate change, disproportionately affect our communities of color. Contemporary development patterns demonstrate the inadequacies of unchecked neoliberalism, and its adverse effect on the development of equitable housing. Within this context, Miami presents itself as a vulnerable coastal city exemplar. A growing city, Miami struggles with an endemic affordability crisis, and the long lasting scars of segregation, redlining, and urban renewal in its most vulnerable communities. Today, the city's muddled past has been compounded with its uncertain future. Despite palpable climate change, construction continues along the Miami waterfront, fueled by foreign investors who park capital in luxury real estate. For local residents, both low and mid income, the cost of living continues to rise along with sea levels. Miami, outwardly marketed as a tropical oasis, is now regarded as one of the country's most inequitable cities. This thesis takes issue with the commodification of housing, and its adverse effects on the vulnerable communities of greater Miami. While Miami's surplus of luxury real estate swells, climate change and speculative development have combined to threaten the stability of the city's multi-ethnic core. Instead, it re-considers the cooperative, and the collective ownership of housing, as a mechanism by which communities can reclaim agency within hostile markets, and open up access to stabilize housing in response to climate gentrification, as well as opening up access to other forms of social and financial capital. It works to re-contextualize the cooperative ownership of housing within the Miami context, considering its deployment as an architectural response who's programming and spatial organizations respond to both collective use and collective need.

Full textAt the crossroads of sociology of architecture, urban studies and the sociology of professional groups, this thesis is undertaken within the context of series of work that questions the transformations of trades in architectural and urban production in France. It explores the evolutions of the practice of architectural and urban programming through the prism of the participatory processes. To understand these changes, two approaches were used: a quantitative survey conducted at the national level among programming professionals; a more qualitative approach that combines the collection of interviews, the observation of professional socialization spaces, the review of archive material and the analysis of an urban project (Chapelle Charbon Park in Paris). Highlighting the main changes that this group has experienced in recent decades sheds light on the factors behind the positioning of professionals regarding the place of inhabitants in projects and how this has evolved. The thesis thus shows the differentiated practices and representations of programming professionals with regard to citizen participation which fundamentally reflect the various approaches and methods of their activities. It also contributes to the understanding of internal dynamics in this field, between professionals of architectural programming - whose activity was structured in the 1990s by the french law regarding public contracting authorities -, and those who practice at an urban level - whose quest for recognition seeks to build on other foundations

Full textLes corps progradants sont représentés par des séquences de dépôt de 0. 5 à 5 Ma. La rampe paléogène comprend les trois éventails turbiditiques majeurs alimentés par de grands canyons, par contre, le système deltaïque montre des petits éventails à des vallées incisées et à des distributaires deltaïques. Douze lithofaciès fondamentaux correspondant à cinq environnements de dépôt ont été caractérisés sur carottes. Les debris flows et les faciès sableux de chenaux sont dominants dans les canyons miocènes, au droit du paléo-Ogooué. Le remplissage de ces canyons présente des séquences de groupement de chenaux d'origine allocyclique, en relation avec la structuration de la marge. Par contre, les séquences de remplissage des chenaux seraient liés à des processus d'avulsion. Leur superposition détermine une architecture générale rétrogressive, en relation avec une remontée du niveau marin relatif ; les chenaux deviennent corrélativement plus méandriformes. Les canyons éloignés du dépôt-centre présentent un remplissage contouritique dominant. Ce travail souligne la prédominance du forçage tectonique dans la construction du prisme de l'Ogooué

Full textThis pioneering work, focuses on the study of the stratigraphic architecture of the Cuanza Basin, from a combined multi-scale approach crossing the geomorphology, seismic interpretation and sedimentologicalfacies from Oligocene interval to Present. The objective is to identify the age, the partitioning of facies, the environments of deposition of the coastal zone in order to date and characterize the vertical movements in relation to the salt creep (gravitational tectonic) and the general uplift of the margin related to the deformation of the lithosphere. Detailed analysis of the outcrops of the coastal zone allowed in a complementary manner specify the conditions of drainage of the paleo-Cuanza putting thus in evidence the identification of a deltaic prism type bird's foot in Pliocene which prograde on a coastal aeolian system. In addition, over to the basin, up to Bom Jesus, a shoal area led to the establishment of a Gilbert delta powered by a possible proto-Cuanza, in conjunction with the mixed platform of lower Miocene. Most off the shelf, in the area of Cabo de Sao Braz to Barra do Cuanza, a detailed analysis of the stratigraphic architecture of the cliffs allowed characterize in a viewpoint facies and depositional processes in a succession of channel-levee systems in compensation, showing locally early sandy injection processes related to the instability of the channel borders. These systems Oligocene to Pliocene are tightly controlled by the growth of diapirs (Cabo Ledo) and and sometimes they are fed by fluvial deposits, dismantling folds diapirs and contributions from mixed platform. In Sangano the turbidite channel banks contain the bioclastic sands with bioturbations type Skolithos and Ophiomorpha which indicate gravitational instability of the shelf that edge the subsidence incisions with a potential for colonization of the sandy bottom by Fauns "turbiportées". Going up to the north we pass gradually to slope facies highlighted by levels of black-shale that marks the window of planktonic productivity. These facies are overlain by marl with intervals of tempestites, characteristics of the offshore transition. Finally, to the South of Miradouro da Lua, we were able to put in evidence in upper Miocene contouritesfacies that climbs the slope following a series of grooves erosion. These facies are truncated by sandy deposits bioturbed typical of shoreface. From Cabo de Sao Braz until Luanda, sometimes is possible to obsreve a temporal and paleoenvironmental succession which reinforces the model of differential uplift or tilting of the series toward to the North. From South to the North, is observed an evolution of interdipiricturbiditic deposits of Oligocene to lower Miocene in the area of Cabo do Sao Braz / Cabo Ledo to deltaic facies of the paleo-Cuanza - Pliocene fluvial braid-delta of Pleistocene in Miradouro da Lua

Full textHow to approach open works ? Of open works : The issue will be to articulate the capacity of these artists' architectural works in opening up : Le Cobusier, Christian de Portzamparc, Frank Lloyd Wright, Lucien Kroll, Ralph Erskine and Bernard Lassus. Of consultation : How do these six architects mediate the relation with the ethical society to whome their work is dedicated and their highly developed aesthetic identities ? Of trust : How are the generating principles of the consultation process applied to the current practices of public development work ? An inventive approach to consultation strives for a share satisfaction of the work during its production. The trust held between the protagonists of the work is a crucial element, as it is the bond between aesthetic and ethical concerns, the open and the cooperative. This is proven by the experience taken from works related to schools or residential works for isolated people or the elderly. The final opening of this thesis takes a stance on contemporary architecture and related issues such as the rôle of politics and that of public development compared to the position of the architect

Full textAfter defining the Enterprise Architecture, as a discipline, its context of transformation, and then its main frameworks and methods (the Praxeme method above all), this thesis describes the modeling needs, notably to represent the business processes and the operational decisions.After a state of the art of existing languages and notations for the modeling of business processes, decision-making and business rules, both in the academic world and in the industrial world, the standard languages and notations are presented in detail.This thesis demonstrates the limitations of the languages for modeling business processes to represent operational decision-making.It then evaluates the new DMN language (Decision Model and Notation), proposed by the OMG (Object Management Group) and the main research subject of this thesis, in order to verify that it is a better adapted alternative solution, applying the separation of concerns principle.The resulting DMN model is composed of a diagram and decision tables. The experiments with a demonstrator, implemented in this thesis, show that it is possible to automate the operational decision-making and modeled. Several technical solutions will be detailed and compared in light of the MDA (Model Driven Architecture).Finally, several interesting perspectives of the DMN use are developed into the conclusion

Full textThe architect Alfred-Nicolas Normand is forgotten by the history. After four year at the Beaux-Arts, he obtains the Grand Prix de Rome in 1846. He is student at the villa Medici for the five next years. He makes five Envois in high quality. One of them is the house of the Faun in Pompeii. He realizes a great Restoration of the Roman Forum. His works proposes a synthesis of art, erudition and archaeology. During his pension he is travelling acrosss Italy and is given a recent authorization to reach Greece. the boarding school is opportunity for Normand to find out and to experience all the forms of his art which are well abovethe competences taught by the Institute. He will feed upon all these influences his architectural skills. In 1851, he discovers the calotype process, and after that he is taking photographs of the monuments in their context. The observer would remark a relative ressemblance between his practice as drawer and as a photographer. As he wants the process to be clearly documentary, the shooting process is drastically influenced by the drawing codes and method standards. Back in France he realizes a antique style Villa for the Prince Jérôme Napoléon. Normand finds here the opportunity to apply the lessons learned from Roma : monumentality and sense of decor. He does a good mix between archaeology, canonical models and modern lifestyle. A few years after, he is been given the maintenance of the Colonne Vendôme. As this monument has been thrown down during the Commune events, the State puts him in charge of its restoration in order to erase this painful episode from the popular memory. Throughout his career he will be required to build private prestigious residences (castles and private mansions) for which he will request a varied vocabulary : medieval, neo-Renaissance or XVIIIth century. He also achivied numbers of tombs and honorific monuments. Thereafter he turns to work on the penal institution architecture. He is appointed to be responsible for the conception of the Maison Centrale of Rennes, a prison for a thousand women serving a long sentence. He turns the panoptical system into a wide central courtyard to which converge all the windows of the prison building. Alfred Normand, as recognized as he could be in his time, is one of the history's forgotten people. He is a good representative of these generations : brilliant, but whitout relief, that could fit perfectly the institutional needs. He personifies the inertia of a professional corps facing the modern societies' individualistic conception

Full textWe are interested in this study in the performances’ continuous improvement of the Production Systems of Goods and Services (PSGS) which organization and structure of control have significantly evolved these last years. In this work, we propose a systemic modelling of the PSGS. In addition, we propose an original approach of control based on a total distribution of the decision-making capacities on the various entities which compose the system. This local decision-making is based on a set of strategies which takes into account the real state of the system. Moreover, capacities of learning are integrated in the control system. The learning’s mechanisms consist on an evaluation a posteriori of the performances realized by the last entities which leave the system in order to determine the best strategy to adopt for the entering ones. The results obtained through a simulation using a discret-event showed the interest of our approach

Full textThis manuscript summarises the research work performed during this thesis, which composed of several parts. The first part, consist of an interpretation of seismic data available documenting the Southern zone of the Prism of Barbados. The second part, consist of an analysis of the deformation (structural study and kinematics) and the last part contains the analysis of the underlying structures. The approach used in this work attempts to analyse geological structures developed underwater and strongly dependent on sedimentation. These structures are formed in compressive and extensive domaines. We tried to define the genetic bonds between the nature and the architecture of the deposits and the geometry and the development of the structures, from data interpretation gathered at the time of CARAMBA survey, of the profiles of surveys VEN and AN, and two drillings located on the platform. The sismostratigraphic analysis enabled us to identify seven seismic units which were located on the platform and in the southern part of the prism of Barbados, and to understand the chronology of the events and the kinematics of deformation. The nature of the deposits (seismic facies), their distribution, and their migration in the course of time appears closely associated with deformation. The development of a network of channels, shale-diapirism, and the localization of the erosion zones constituted other elements to specify the tectono-sedimentary evolution. This permited to identifie deux zones (1 & 2) from seismic facies analysis. Essentially, the majority of the erosion zones were identified in zone 1. These erosion zones are connected to the activation of the internal structures (very strong faults offset). The "chaotic" deposits (mud flows, slips in mass) which mark out fault 5, take part in erosion and feed sedimentation in north. The distribution of the channels is induced by the slopes hydrodynamism (foresets) of the Orenoque delta, and then is controled by the progressive deformation of acretionary prism. From structural study, we proposed that the deformation migrates towards southwest, at a rate of 0. 7cm /yr after Pleistocene. In addition, we are noted that structures profonds are independent of the surface structures. According to the focal mechanisms, the underlying structures are opposed to those analyzed on the surface. The thickness of the continental crust tends to abroad towards the SE at the same time as the thickness of sedimentary cover tends to be reduced. The activity of the faults of the cretaceous platform played an important part in space creation for the sedimentary cover

Full textThis thesis work is part of the development of a self-driving car in highway environments. More precisely, it aims to propose a unified architecture of trajectory planner and decision-maker taking into account the limitations of the environment and the available data within the current development of sensors technologies (distance limitations, uncertainties).On the one hand, the method generates sigmoid trajectories in a continuous spatiotemporal representation of the evolution space, which is reduced beforehand by modeling collision-free intervals in nominal conditions of driving. The sigmoid parameters are subsequently optimized with a simulated annealing approach that uses the decision-maker algorithm as the evaluation function for the generated trajectory. It thus makes it possible to elude both the discretization and position/speed decoupling problems. On the other hand, the aggregation of fuzzy logic and belief theory allows decision making on heterogeneous criteria and uncertain data. The proposed framework also handles personalization of the vehicle's behavior, depending on the passengers' risk perception and an aggressive or conservative driving style.The presented approach was finally evaluated and validated in a simulation environment, and then in a test vehicle. The planning block was integrated into the existing vehicle's architecture, interfaced with the localization, obstacles' perception and control blocks

Full textRecent advances in Autonomous Vehicles (AV) driving raised up all the importance to ensure the complete reliability of AV maneuvers even in highly dynamic and uncertain environments/situations. This objective becomes even more challenging due to the uniqueness of every traffic situation/condition. To cope with all these very constrained and complex configurations, AVs must have appropriate control architecture with reliable and real-time Risk Assessment and Management Strategies (RAMS). These targeted RAMS must lead to reduce drastically the navigation risks (theoretically, lower than any human-like driving behavior), with a systemic way. Consequently, the aim is also to reduce the need for too extensive testing (which could take several months and years for each produced RAMS without at the end having absolute prove). Hence the goal in this Ph.D. thesis is to have a provable methodology for AV RAMS. This dissertation addresses the full pipeline from risk assessment, path planning to decision-making and control of autonomous vehicles. In the first place, an overall Probabilistic Multi-Controller Architecture (P-MCA) is designed for safe autonomous driving under uncertainties. The P-MCA is composed of several interconnected modules that are responsible for: assessing the collision risk with all observed vehicles while considering their trajectories' predictions; planning the different driving maneuvers; making the decision on the most suitable actions to achieve; control the vehicle movement; aborting safely the engaged maneuver if necessary (due for instance to a sudden change in the environment); and as last resort planning evasive actions if there is no other choice. The proposed risk assessment is based on a dual-safety stage strategy. The first stage analyzes the actual driving situation and predicts potential collisions. This is performed while taking into consideration several dynamic constraints and traffic conditions that are known at the time of planning. The second stage is applied in real-time, during the maneuver achievement, where a safety verification mechanism is activated to quantify the risks and the criticality of the driving situation beyond the remaining time to achieve the maneuver. The decision-making strategy is based on a Sequential Decision Networks for Maneuver Selection and Verification (SDN-MSV) and corresponds to an important module of the P-MCA. This module is designed to manage several road maneuvers under uncertainties. It utilizes the defined safety stages assessment to propose discrete actions that allow to: derive appropriate maneuvers in a given traffic situation and provide a safety retrospection that updates in real-time the ego-vehicle movements according to the environment dynamic, in order to face any sudden hazardous and risky situation. In the latter case, it is proposed to compute the corresponding low-level control based on the Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES) that allows the ego-vehicle to pursue the advised collision-free evasive trajectory to avert an accident and to guarantee safety at any time.The reliability and the flexibility of the overall proposed P-MCA and its elementary components have been intensively validated, first in simulated traffic conditions, with various driving scenarios, and secondly, in real-time with the autonomous vehicles available at Institut Pascal
