Development, Simulation and Evaluation of In-car Advice on Headway, Speed and Lane

With the use of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), traffic efficiency may be improved. This thesis presents an advisory system using advice on headway, speed and lane, in order to prevent potential problems 1-2km downstream. Current systems operate on smaller scale (e.g. Adaptive Cruise Control) or larger scale (e.g. route advice). With...

Coupled seismic and electromagnetic wave propagation

Coupled seismic and electromagnetic wave propagation is studied theoretically and experimentally. This coupling arises because of the electrochemical double layer, which exists along the solid-grain/fluid-electrolyte boundaries of porous media. Within the double layer, charge is redistributed, creating an excess electrical charge in the fluid...
