Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The increased need for mobility has led to transportation problems like congestion, accidents and pollution. In order to provide safe and efficient transport systems great efforts are currently being put into developing Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and cooperative systems. In this paper we extend proposed solutions with autonomous on-road sensors and actuators forming a wireless Road Surface Network (RSN). We present the RSN architecture and design methodology and demonstrate its applicability to queue-end detection. For the use case we discuss the requirements and technological solutions to sensor technology, data processing and communication. In particular the MAC protocol is detailed and its performance assessed through theoretical verification. The RSN architecture is shown to offer a scalable solution, where increased node density offers more precise sensing as well as increased redundancy for safety critical applications. The use-case demonstrates that RSN solutions may be deployed as standalone systems potentially integrated into current and future ITS. RSN may provide both easily deployable and cost effective alternatives to traditional ITS (with a direct impact independent of penetration rate of other ITS infrastructures - i.e., smart vehicles, safe spots etc.) as well as provide fine grain sensory information directly from the road surface to back-end and cooperative systems, thus enabling a wide range of ITS applications beyond current state of the art.

Strategies and considerations in shaping cyber-physical systems education

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems education faces several challenges as well as opportunities as every-“thing” becomes connected, and as technology development accelerates. Initiatives such as CDIO, as well as several other academic and industry initiatives to create new CPS programs illustrate strong interests and awareness of these challenges. We provide an overview of foreseen educational needs, existing state of the art in education and an analysis of the subject of CPS with the purpose of understanding the implications for education. The investigation points to key issues in curriculum design regarding balancing depth and breadth, theory and practices, academic and industrial needs, and core technical skills with complementary skills. Curricula in CPS could, if the right balance is achieved, educate CPS engineers of the future that are “ready to engineer”. We conclude by synthesizing high level guidelines in terms of strategies and considerations for CPS curriculum development.

iRoad - cooperative road infrastructure systems for driver support
- 2009

Ingår i: 16th World Congress and Exhibition on Intelligent Transport Systems 2009. - Red Hook : Curran Associates, Inc.. - 9781617385896

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper discusses the design and implementation of a cooperative road infrastructure systems, which uses an intelligent road surface. Using an overtaking assist feature as an example it is shown how such a feature can be designed and implemented on a road infrastructure and integrated with drivers and passengers using IMS. The feasibility of this feature is assessed from a functional and communication perspective. Moreover, first results from real-life tests on the Swedish highway E4 are presented which motivate the next research and development steps.

Video monitoring of pulverized coal injection in the blast furnace

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- A novel approach for monitoring and control of the coal powder injection in a blast furnace is presented and discussed. Image analysis of video recordings is used as a means to estimate the instantaneous coal flow. Initial experiments at the blast furnace no 3 of SSAB Tunnplat AB Lulea, Sweden, have been performed and first hand results on modelling and control of a single injection line are given.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper discusses results from real-life tests with intelligent road marking units (RMU), placed on the surface of a highway in northern Sweden, to monitor passing vehicles and road properties, as well as making the information available through a wireless sensor network. Wireless sensor networks are starting to gain interest in the area of cooperative safety and efficiency in transport as they can contribute to the reduction of accidents and emissions as well as enhanced driver experiences. Intelligent road markings are another key element for the creation of intelligent transport systems, complementing road side units, devices placed near a road equipped with high-performance computational platforms and long range communication capabilities. This paper shows that RMUs are feasible from the perspectives of low-power consumption, durability, and sensing performance.

Enabling remote controlled road surface networks for enhanced ITS
- 2011
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) will, in the future, play a key role to improve transportation efficiency and safety. However, cost-benefit of deploying traditional ITS is retarded by expensive equipment, infrastructure, installation and maintenance. The demo presents a replica of a real world experimental ITS application using recently proposed Road Surface Network architecture. The demonstrated "intelligent roundabout'' application is intended to warn and inform drivers about an upcoming roundabout and to prevent driving straight into collision. We show a lab prototype system consisting of: an authentic sensor node platform enabled for car detection, secure multihop communications and the running light application, a base station with system control center.

Experiences and reflections on three years of CPS Summer schools within EIT digital

Ingår i: 2016 Workshop on Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems Education, WESE 2016 - Organized as a Part of Embedded Systems Week, Proceedings. - New York, NY, USA : ACM Digital Library. - 9781450346573

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article provides an overview of current European Commission effort in term of educational innovation to reduce the gap between research and industry which still is a barrier to the economic development. Entrepreneurial innovation & education driving Europe's digital transformation (EIT Digital for short) is an European-based initiative fostering I&E (innovation and entrepreneurship) by integrating education, research and business at different educational levels. For instance in EIT master programmes, students work together with industries and academics to have a faster go-to-market of research results. Summer schools are part of the master programs; three of them have been organised related to CPS (cyber-physical systems), critical infrastructure and, more recently, Industry 4.0. Past and present events are discussed and the experience from these events is reported. It is further analysed how the general setup of the summer school program is affecting the educational aspects and achievement of the intended learning outcomes.

Control configuration selection for integrating processes using graphs
- 2015
-
Ingår i: 2015 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications (CCA 2015). - Piscataway, NJ : IEEE Communications Society. - 9781479977871 ; , s. 1606-1611

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Recently, methods for Control Configuration Selection (CCS) using weighted graphs have been introduced. These methods were integrated in a software tool which allows systematic CCS in industry processes by choosing a simplified model with a reduced structure on which control will be based. This paper addresses the extension of these graph-based methods to be applied to integrating systems, which often appear in industry processes, e.g. at storage vessels. The extension is based on restricting the analysis to a set of frequencies of interest which omits the infinite DC-gain. The results are validated and illustrated using a real-life case, namely the secondary heating system of a pulp & paper mill.
