Social-based trustworthy data forwarding in vehicular delay tolerant networks
(2011-03-01)
Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is an emerging new communication technol-ogy which has attracted a lot of research attention from academic community and indus-try. For many applications in VANETs, information has to be ...
Non-linear model predictive control for autonomous vehicles
(2011-11-01)
With the advent of faster computer processors and better optimization algorithms,
Model Predictive Control (MPC) systems are more readily used for real-time applications.
This research focuses on the application of MPC ...
Enhancing roll stability and directional performance of articulated heavy vehicles based on anti-roll control and design optimization.
(2011-10-01)
This research presents an investigation to actively improve the rollover stability of articulated heavy vehicles (AHVs) during high speed manoeuvres using anti-roll control systems. A 3-dimensional (3-D) linear yaw/roll ...
Energy, exergy and exergoeconomic analyses of gas-turbine based systems
(2011-12-01)
Gas turbines are the primary technology used for the purpose of power generation nearly everywhere. In this thesis, the Makkah Power Plant, running on a Brayton cycle, is considered for analysis. The peak demand for electric ...
Communication protocols, queuing and scheduling delay analysis in CANDU SCWR hydrogen co-generation model
(2011-08-01)
Industrial dynamical, Networked Control Systems (NCSs) are controlled over a
communication network. We study a continuous-time CANada Deuterium
Uranium-Super Critical Water Reactor (CANDU-SCWR) hydrogen plant and a
discrete-time ...
Vibration suppression of straight and curved beams traversed by moving loads
(2011-09-01)
Vibration suppression of beams traversed by moving loads, using optimal Tuned-Mass-Damper (TMD) systems, is investigated. This study is performed on two different geometrical shapes of the beam, namely, uniform homogenous ...
Energy-efficient relay cooperation for lifetime maximization
(2011-08-01)
We study energy-efficient power allocation among relays for lifetime maximization
in a dual-hop relay network operated by amplify-and-forward relays with battery
limitations. Power allocation algorithms are proposed for ...
Improved design of three-degree of freedom hip exoskeleton based on biomimetic parallel structure
(2011-07-01)
The external skeletons, Exoskeletons, are not a new research area in this highly
developed world. They are widely used in helping the wearer to enhance human strength,
endurance, and speed while walking with them. Most ...
Forensic analysis of unallocated space
(2011-06-01)
Computer forensics has become an important technology in providing evidence in investigations of computer misuse, attacks against computer systems and more traditional crimes like money laundering and fraud where digital ...
Evaluating and improving collection tree protocol in mobile wireless sensor network
(2011-07-01)
There has been growing interest in the Mobile WSN applications where mobility is
the fundamental characteristic of the sensor nodes. Mobility poses many challenges
to the routing protocols used in such applications. In ...
