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 ...
A novel spatiotemporal framework for efficient traffic prediction and visualization
(2021-12-01)
This thesis proposes an efficient traffic prediction framework to estimate congestion at intersections depending on neighboring road links. The framework encompasses three major components, data extraction, Bayesian Linear ...

(2021-08-01)
With the ever-increasing demand for battery electric vehicles, the expectation of safety, range, and fast charging has become a major focus for industry players and researchers. The research presented herein sought to ...
Design and development of a novel anthropomorphic finger with pneumatic tactile sensing
(2020-04-01)
The human hand is a tool that we rely on to conduct a vast variety of tasks, from cracking eggs to lifting boxes. Meanwhile, in an industrial setting, different tools are needed to complete specific tasks. Picking up a box ...
Towards computer-automated mechatronic design and optimization using linear graphs and evolutionary computing
(2020-04-01)
A comparison of literature between the linear graph (LG) and bond graph (BG) approaches shows that the surpassing of BGs to LGs in applications related to the modeling of mechatronic systems is driven primarily by a lack ...
Design and development of an interactive autonomous monitoring and surveillance drone
(2020-04-01)
This thesis describes the design and development of the novel autonomous UAV that has powerful GPU unit and potential sensing capability. It can run ROS (Robot Operating System) and compatible with packages developed under ...
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 of polymeric nano-composite fiber based structures for acoustics and filtration applications
(2021-08-01)
Electrospinning lab-scale experimental set-up was developed for manufacturing polymeric nanofiber composites for acoustics and filtration applications. In this study, nanofiber membranes were fabricated using two types of ...
Investigation of the ultrasonic based hydrogen production process: Sonohydrogen
(2021-04-01)
The present work carries out various sets of numerical investigations to link the primary effect of the acoustic parameters with the secondary effect of developing a chemical reaction mechanism for water vapor dissociation ...
Investigation and assessment of the integrated copper chlorine cycle for hydrogen production with a new separation process
(2021-08-01)
The production of hydrogen as a clean fuel is anticipated to have a major impact on the development of the environmentally benign generation of energy. At present, a significant portion of hydrogen generation is based on ...
