  1. 1. Safety at Rail-Road Level Crossings

    Författare :Mohammad Shahriari; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; driver behaviour; risk analysis; traffic safety; rail road crossings; safety;

    Sammanfattning : Safety related to traffic at rail/road level crossings has long been a major issue for rail operators all over the world. Eliminating these level crossings entirely would be a desirable solution. However converting them into separate types is very expensive and not reasonable in many cases, e.g. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Crossings and maxima in Gaussian fields and seas

    Författare :Eva Sjö; Matematisk statistik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; operations research; Statistics; random waves; extremes; generalised Rice s formula; level-crossings; Gaussian random fields; programming; actuarial mathematics; Statistik; operationsanalys; programmering; aktuariematematik;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis the focus is on crossing points in random fields and the probability distributions of various crossing variables in different applications. The crossing points are generalisations to random fields of points of level crossings by stochastic processes. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Towards an efficient use of infrastructure and the built environment : Essays in transport and housing economics

    Författare :Lina Jonsson; Fastighetsvetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Hedonic pricing; Noise; Railway traffic; Road traffic; Congestion pricing; Acceptability; Road user charging; Political Economy; Railway; Marginal cost; Accident probability; Level crossings; Housing Economics; Property tax;

    Sammanfattning : All four papers in the thesis share a common theme: how to achieve an efficient use of infrastructure and the built environment. In the presence of externalities, pricing according to the (short-run) marginal cost is one answer on how this can be achieved and the first two papers estimates parts of the marginal cost of traffic.

  5. 4. Modelling Sea Surface Dynamics Using Crossing Distributions

    Författare :Anastassia Baxevani; Matematisk statistik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Statistik; actuarial mathematics; programmering; operations research; Statistics; velocities; global maximum; Rice formula; level crossings; Gaussian random fields; programming; aktuariematematik; operationsanalys;

    Sammanfattning : The thesis deals mainly with modelling sea surface dynamics. We consider two different scales. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Event Prediction and Bootstrap in Time Series

    Författare :Anders Svensson; Matematisk statistik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Statistics; bootstrap control.; statistical bootstrap; catastrophe; level-crossings; ARMAX process; Optimal alarm system; time series; optimal event predictor; operations research; programming; actuarial mathematics; Statistik; operationsanalys; programmering; aktuariematematik;

    Sammanfattning : Alarm systems are used in many situations, and should be as efficient as possible. In this thesis optimal predictive alarm systems, event predictors, are presented for general linear time series models with external signals. This family of process models include e.g. LÄS MER
