Acoustic Non-Line-of-Sight Vehicle Localization in Urban Environments

Driving is a challenging task. When people operate vehicles they utilize all their senses to assess the current traffic scenario and determine appropriate actions to take. Sensors in autonomous driving applications aim to mimic those human senses to build a similar understanding of these complex circumstances. Most scientific attention in the...

Developing a conceptual model on strategies overcoming barriers for the introduction of radical innovations in niches

Radical innovation is widely acknowledged as important for companies aiming to contribute to sustainable development while maintaining and improving their competitive advantage. However, the diffusion and development process of radical innovations is described as uncertain and long-winded due to barriers raised within the socio-technical system....

SAR Retracking in the Arctic: Development of a year round Arctic SAR retracker system

The sea level determination in the Arctic brings challenges with it, due to its high seasonality, varying surface types and scarce in-situ observations. By developing a year round retracker system with an implementation of a bias removal strategy, the Arctic sea level determination is improved. Through the analysis of the seasonal performance of...
