  1. 1. Using False Alarms when Developing Automotive Active Safety Systems

    Författare :Jan-Erik Källhammer; Erik Hollnagel; Kip Smith; Klaus Bengler; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis develops and tests an empirical method to quantifying drivers’ level of acceptance for alerts issued by automotive active safety systems. The method uses drivers’ subjective level of acceptance for alerts that are literally false alarms as a measure to guide the development of alerting criteria that can be used by active safety systems.

  3. 2. The theory of Homo comperiens, the firm’s market price, and the implication for a firm’s profitability

    Författare :Joachim Landström; Jan-Erik Gröjer; Dag Smith; Frøystein Gjesdal; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Homo Comperiens; Inefficient Markets; Efficient Markets; Arbitrage; No-Arbitrage; Market Price; Market Value; Intrinsic Value; Residual Income; Residual Earnings; Company Valuation; Firm Valuation; Valuation; Accounting; Financial Accounting; Financial Analysis; Residual Rate-of-Return; Residual Rates-of-Returns; Business studies; Företagsekonomi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis proposes a theory of inefficient markets that uses limited rational choice as a central trait and I call it the theory of Homo comperiens. The theory limits the alternatives and states that the subjects are aware of and only allow them to have rational preference relations on the limited action set and state set, i.e. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Reforming a publicly owned monopoly : costs and incentives in railway maintenance

    Författare :Kristofer Odolinski; Jan-Eric Nilsson; Andrew Smith; Lars Hultkrantz; Marc Ivaldi; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Railway track; Maintenance; Contract; Incentive reward ; Competition; Cost; Quality; Economic efficiency; J01 Railway: Railway track; J01 Railway: Railway track; J13 Railway: Economics; J13 Railway: Economics; Economics;

    Sammanfattning : The railway system is often considered to be an industry where a monopoly occurs “naturally”, which can explain the public ownership and the use of regulations. However, railways in Europe have been subject to reforms during the last three decades. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Evaluation of Splitting Capacity of Bottom Rails in Partially Anchored Timber Frame Shear Walls

    Författare :Giuseppe Caprolu; Ian Smith; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träbyggnad; Timber Structures;

    Sammanfattning : The horizontal stabilization of timber frame buildings is oftenprovided by shear walls. Plastic design methods can be used todetermine the load-carrying capacity of fully and partially anchoredshear walls. In order to use these methods, a ductile behaviour of thesheathing-to-framing joint must be ensured. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Multifunctional composite materials : Design, manufacture and experimental characterisation

    Författare :Tony Carlson; Emile Smith Greenhalgh; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Polymera konstruktionsmaterial; Polymeric Composite Materials;

    Sammanfattning : The use of lightweight materials in structural applications is ever increasing. Today, lightweight engineering materials are needed to realise greener, safer and more competitive products. LÄS MER
