Trip, Kenrick (author)With the introduction of autonomous vehicles on public roads, their performance in emergency situations has become a strong focus. Collision Imminent Control (CIC) concerns the planning and control of aggressive evasive maneuvers for collision avoidance of automated vehicles. CIC is implemented using adaptive Nonlinear Model Predictive Control ...master thesis 2024

AMBADI OMANAKUTTANNAIR, NEERAJ KUMAR (author)The European Commission has mandated the requirement of advanced safety features in all vehicles sold in the EU from 2022 onwards. This will help drivers get gradually used to ADS, eventually transitioning to fully autonomous driving in the distant future. There are more vehicles on road now equipped with lane-keeping systems and other driver...master thesis 2022

van Oosterhout, Rosalie (author)CO2 emission of vehicles and its influence on climate change is a widely discussed topic already for many years. New CO2 emission norms for vehicles have been defined based on the 2021 baseline: 15% reduction resulting in 0.09 kg/km for 2025, and 37.5% reduction resulting in 0.069 kg/km for 2030. Both norms are defined under the Worldwide...master thesis 2021

Latyšov, Sever (author)Around the world millions of people get injured due to traffic accidents. Autonomous vehicles are expected to significantly reduce these numbers. To increase safety, autonomous vehicle communication can be used. Current vehicle communication networks called VANETs have security and privacy protection problems and the vehicle industry is...bachelor thesis 2021

Kelbling, Jelle (author)The DelFly Nimble is a type of tailless flapping-wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs) that has received an increasing amount of attention. FWMAVs show efficient and agile flight possibilities at small scale. The aerodynamics and dynamics of these flapping vehicles are challenging and not fully understood. In this work, a strategy to implement a 3D...master thesis 2020

Janse, Eline (author)Road intersections have a large impact on road accidents and travel delay. Applying infrastructure, such as stop signs and traffic lights, are supposed to prevent collisions on the intersection. However, such methods contribute to the travel delay, while accidents still occur due to human errors. Considering the rise of automation within...master thesis 2020

Bosch, Wietse (author)The way an autonomous delivery vehicle behaves during an encounter with a pedestrian evokes an experience comprised of many short-term emotions, influences which behaviour that person will use in reaction to the robot. In many cases, for both the negative and positive experiences, behaviour emerges that results in time-consuming encounters. This...master thesis 2020

Reiff, Anne (author)Perspective-taking is the ability to see a situation based on the viewpoint of others. In autonomous vehicle-pedestrian (AV-P) interaction, the perspective taken by the pedestrian could be affected by the design of an external Human-Machine Interface (eHMI). However, currently, there is little knowledge about the effect of message perspective on...master thesis 2020

Somashekar, Prathap (author)The automobile industry has been continuously working on bringing automation in motor vehicles for the betterment of human life. Advancement in technology has helped companies manufacture cars that can drive and navigate on their own called Autonomous vehicles (AVs). There are numerous effects of AVs on society. The AVs are forecast to bring...master thesis 2020

van der Slot, Kuno (author)To promote automation in vehicles, autonomous driving should feel comfortable. To achieve low discomfort, a comfort oriented nonlinear model predictive controller is created. We know humans are sensitive for discomfort in certain frequencies in acceleration. By penalizing the frequencies for discomfort a higher comfort performance can be...master thesis 2020

Keesmaat, Patrick (author)An autonomous guided vehicle can be used for the delivery of goods. To deliver these goods to your home, the mobile robot will be driving in pedestrian rich environments. In these environments the robot will need to socially navigate itself in a way which is both pleasant for the pedestrians and progressive for the robot. During its drive, the...master thesis 2020

Kaleefathullah, Anees Ahamed (author)<b>Aim:</b> In this study, we aimed to investigate pedestrians’ trust, crossing behaviour, and misuse of an automated vehicle (AV) equipped with an external human-machine interface (eHMI). We hypothesized that participants’ trust would drop to a low level when the eHMI fails (i.e., the eHMI turns on, but the vehicle does not brake), followed by...master thesis 2020

Cancrinus, Nick (author), Max, Gyula (author)Nowadays, localization of cars is mostly done using GPS. Some major disadvantages of this method are that it is not very accurate and that it cannot be used indoors. These disadvantages do not form a major problem when an active human driver is controlling the car, but will become more critical when the autonomy of vehicles increases. The goal...bachelor thesis 2017
