Detecting road boundaries and drivable regions in challenging weather conditions
(2022-02-01)
Road detection is a core component of self-driving vehicle perception, where it covers detecting road boundaries and drivable road regions. It can also help human drivers to drive safely in lower visibility. The majority ...
Joint optimization of transmit beamforming and base station cache allocation in multi-cell C-RAN
(2021-11-01)
Cloud radio access network (C-RAN) with wireless backhaul has been considered as a possible solution for small cell deployment. Limited capacity of wireless backhaul encourages people to equip the base stations (BSs) with ...
Modelling and validation of agricultural tire-terrain interaction
(2020-12-01)
The use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and simulation software has been extensively used for many engineering applications. More precisely, computerized methods have paved way for accurately simulating tire-terrain ...
A system framework for non-intrusive monitoring of HMI states for detecting human-in-the-loop error precursors
(2020-04-01)
Past industrial accidents suggest that increased automation has had an adverse effect on operator situational awareness (SA) and Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) errors. More so, any current automation is not yet capable of providing ...
Development and assessment of integrated energy systems with ammonia synthesis and fuel cells
(2020-12-01)
Hydrogen and ammonia comprise two important clean fuels, which are expected to play a vital role in the development of clean energy production and utilization. Currently, their production relies heavily on fossil fuel-based ...
Development of integrated performance indicators and integrated energy systems for smart cities
(2021-04-01)
The urge to develop and innovate net zero energy systems for smart city applications has never been more pressing. As the world population is rapidly growing, the global energy demand expands exponentially. The setback ...
Development and assessment of renewable ammonia and methanol production systems
(2020-04-01)
In this thesis, four renewable energy-based integrated systems for sustainable communities are developed. System 1 consists of a single-stage OTEC plant integrated with an ammonia production and district cooling system. ...
Coded caching for cache-aided communication and computing with nonuniform demands
(2021-10-01)
In this dissertation, we consider the caching system of multiple cache-enabled users with nonuniform demands. We thoroughly characterize the structure of the optimal cache placement of the coded caching scheme (CCS).We ...
Developing a mobile manipulation system to handle unknown and unstructured objects
(2021-04-01)
The exceptional human’s ability to interact with unknown objects based on minimal prior experience is a permanent inspiration to the field of robotic manipulation. The recent revolution in industrial and service robots ...
Toward enhancing metaheuristic optimization algorithms using center-based sampling strategies for solving single- and multi- objective large-scale problems
(2020-12-01)
Over the last decade, metaheuristic algorithms have become well-established approaches utilized for solving complex real-world optimization problems. Most metaheuristic algorithms have used stochastic strategies in their ...
