Automated CPT interpretation and modelling in a BIM/Digital Twin environment

Following up on previous research on Automated Parameter Determination (APD), in which the soil stratification and numerical model parameters are automatically derived from individual CPTs, this article describes ongoing research in which the geotechnical modelling workflow is further automated in a BIM / Digital Twin environment. Especially in...

Dynamic Time Warping Clustering to Discover Socioeconomic Characteristics in Smart Water Meter Data

Socioeconomic characteristics are influencing the temporal and spatial variability of water demand, which are the biggest source of uncertainties within water distribution system modeling. Improving current knowledge of these influences can be utilized to decrease demand uncertainties. This paper aims to link smart water meter data to...

Degradation Estimation and Prediction of Electronic Packages using Data Driven Approach

Recent trends in automotive electronics such as automated driving will increase the number and complexity of electronics used in safety-relevant applications. Applications in logistics or ridesharing will require a specific year of service rather than the conventional mileage usage. Reliable operations of the electronic systems must be...

Zooming into Socio-economic Inequalities: Using Urban Analytics to Track Vulnerabilities – A Case Study of Helsinki

The Covid19 crisis has highlighted once more that socio-economic inequalities are a main driver of vulnerability. Especially in densely populated urban areas, however, these inequalities can drastically change even within neighbourhoods. To better prepare for urban crises, more granular techniques are needed to assess these vulnerabilities, and...

Predicting rainfall induced slope stability using Random Forest regression and synthetic data

Water fluxes in slopes are affected by climatic conditions and vegetation cover, which influence the effective stress and stability. The vegetation cover is the intermediate layer between the atmosphere and the slope surface that alter water balance in the slope through evapotranspiration and leaf interception. This paper studies the datadriven...

A Systematic Evaluation of Profiling Through Focused Feature Selection

Profiled side-channel attacks consist of several steps one needs to take. An important, but sometimes ignored, step is a selection of the points of interest (features) within side-channel measurement traces. A large majority of the related works start the analyses with an assumption that the features are preselected. Contrary to this...
