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 ...
Energy management of nuclear-renewable hybrid energy system for fast charging station
(2022-07-01)
The transportation sector is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Due to this, electric vehicles (EVs) have become popular as it reduces emissions significantly. Despite this significance, EVs ...
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 ...
Analysis and mitigation of the impacts of integrating fast-charging stations on the voltage fluctuations
(2020-10-01)
As the number of electric vehicles increases, fast charging becomes a necessity in the electric service stations; not only to reduce the charging and waiting times for electric vehicles whether in service or in a queue, ...
Design of broad-band dual-polarized microstrip patch antennas with high port isolation for millimeter-wave 5G applications
(2021-01-01)
In this thesis, multiple broadband dual linearly polarized antennas are designed covering the frequency band for the next generation of 5G communications around 28 GHz. Dual polarization antennas are employed to increase ...
A study of a novel design for efficient hydrolysis reactor for the Cu-Cl thermochemical hydrogen production cycle
(2021-06-01)
In this thesis, methods to optimize the Hydrolysis reactor for the Cu-Cl thermochemical Hydrogen production cycle were investigated. A simplified Hydrolysis reactor using simple off-the-shelf components was tested and found ...
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. ...
