New approaches in training for in situ visualization of ionizing radiation measurements
(2022-08-01)
Surveying an environment for sources of ionizing radiation requires the use of measurement tools and skills developed from training in order to understand and analyze measurements. Recent advances in technology allow for ...
Design of dust-filtering algorithms for LiDAR sensors in off-road vehicles using the AI and non-AI methods
(2022-08-01)
The performance of Lidar sensors degrades in the presence of dust. These particles can impact sensor measurements and cause robot perception algorithms to misinterpret data. This thesis proposes two distinct dust filtering ...
Design optimization of articulated vehicles with autonomous steering control
(2022-08-01)
Human driver errors cause about 94% of traffic collisions. To increase the safety of road vehicles, extensive studies have been conducted on developing autonomous driving technologies. However, little attention has been ...
A supervised machine learning-based framework to detect low-level fault injections in software systems
(2022-08-01)
Fault injection attacks inject faults into system components, inducing abnormal software behavior. Software vulnerability analysis cannot prevent new attack vectors without software modifications. Attack detection methods ...
Design and development of an autonomous flying excavator platform using a drone
(2022-09-01)
In this research, a drone-based excavation platform prototype is presented with the primary goals of balancing stability during excavation, sensing, and excavating the soil pile autonomously without human intervention. ...
Design synthesis of NLMPC-based tracking controller for autonomous vehicles with active aerodynamic control
(2022-12-01)
The past three decades have witnessed extensive studies on tracking-control for autonomous vehicles (AVs). However, there is a lack of studies on effective design methods in this field. To tackle this problem, this thesis ...
Development of a point-kinetics simulator for molten-salt reactors
(2022-08-01)
Molten-salt-fueled reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors that use a mixture of fissile material and molten fluoride salts as both fuel and primary coolant. Such reactors, which can operate at low pressure and high ...
Collision detection in smart-cities by using co-simulation
(2022-11-01)
Road traffic has become prominent in everyday living, impacting or disrupting services to people and daily routines. With the rise in automobile manufacturing and the frequency of vehicle crashes, human catastrophes, like ...
Comparative economic analysis of conventional and plug-in battery electric vehicles in Canada
(2022-12-01)
Conventional vehicles typically use gasoline for their internal combustion engines (ICEs). On the other hand, plug-in battery electric vehicles (PBEVs) use electricity to charge their batteries, so they do not need gasoline. ...
Defect detection using 3D computed tomography images and application on nuclear power plants
(2022-12-01)
Tools used in nuclear power plant (NPP) inspection are required to be inspected before and after use on a reactor to check their integrity. To address the long duration required for manual inspection, non-destructive testing ...
