An Integrated Choice and Latent Variable Framework to Incorporate the Influence of Travel Time Variability on Truck Route Choice
Route choice models (or path choice models) are useful for quantifying travellers’ preferences for or sensitivity to route attributes, predicting network-level traffic flows, examining the influence of information provided ... -
An Integrated Estimation-Guidance Approach for Seeker-less Interceptors
(2018-07-16)In this thesis, the problem of intercepting highly manoeuvrable threats using seeker-less interceptors that operate in the command guidance mode, is addressed. These systems are more prone to estimation errors than standard ... -
An Integrated Framework for Supporting Decision Making During Early Design Stages on End-of-Life Product Disassembly
(2017-10-31)Product life cycle (PLC) is the cycle which every product goes through from introduction to eventual demise. There are several issues with the current life cycle of a product when looked from the environmental impact ... -
Integrated Relative Position and Attitude Control of Distributed Spacecraft Formation For High Resolution Imaging
One of the major challenges in space technology is to achieve high resolution imaging of the intended area on demand to meet civilian and military applications. Spacecraft formation flying with coordinated control of smaller ... -
Integrated Wastewater Management for Tank Restoration in Urban Fringe Areas
Urban fringe water bodies are often seriously affected by urban wastewater including partially treated sewage entering it and degrading it. Sustainability requirements necessitate that such wastewaters are treated and ... -
Integrating Product Model With Assembly Process Model Using Liaisons
(2014-04-09)This thesis addresses the problem of achieving better convergence between different phases (here design and manufacturing) of the product development cycle. The use of liaison has been proposed to better integrate the ... -
An Integrative Approach to Vision Simulations using Digital Human Models
Digital Human Models (DHM), belong to a class of human-in-the-loop simulations having primary applications in the area of virtual ergonomics, virtual prototyping, and task evaluations. These models replicate physical and ... -
Intelligent Gaze Controlled Interface for Limited Mobility Environment
Eye movement-based Human Computer Interaction (HCI) has become a significant area of research in computer science. The gaze-based computing devices allow a computer to be controlled using only eye movements, which can be ... -
Intelligent Microcontainers : Fabrication, Characterization And Tunable Release Properties For Drug Delivery
(2013-06-26)Polyelectrolyte capsules fabricated by layer-by-layer (LbL) technique are introduced as a simple and efficient carrier system for spontaneous deposition of proteins and low molecular water soluble drug. The objective of ... -
Intense Rainfall Events over the West Coast of India
West coast of the Indian peninsula is one of the regions which receive very heavy rainfall during the summer monsoon season. Average June-September rainfall over the parts of coastal Karnataka, Konkan and Goa exceed 250 ... -
Intent- driven Correspondence and Registration of Shapes
(2018-05-29)Registration means to bring two or more shapes into a suitable relative configuration (position and orientation). In its major applications like 3D scan alignment, the aim is to coalesce data and regions originating from ... -
Inter-laminar Stresses In Composite Sandwich Panels Using Variational Asymptotic Method (VAM)
(2013-07-10)In aerospace applications, use of laminates made of composite materials as face sheets in sandwich panels are on the rise. These composite laminates have low transverse shear and transverse normal moduli compared to the ... -
Interaction behavior and droplet characteristics of multi-injector sprays
The injector faceplate of a liquid propellant rocket engine is comprised of numerous single-element atomizers to inject propellants into the engine thrust chamber. The sprays from these single-element atomizers interact ... -
Interaction Design and Distraction Detection of Drivers in Automobiles
In recent times, usage of electronic devices inside cars while driving has increased due to the introduction of new technologies to keep drivers comfortable and entertained. Systems like satnav ease out the navigation by ... -
Interaction of bubble(s) and buoyant rigid particles with vortical structures: Towards understanding bubbly turbulent flows
Bubbly turbulent flows occur in many places, such as in chemical reactors and geophysical applications, besides interest from the drag reduction perspective using injected bubbles in a (water) boundary layer. In these ... -
Interaction of Bubbles with Vortical Structures
(2017-09-23)Bubbly turbulent flows occur in a variety of industrial, naval and geophysical problems. In these flows, the bubbles in the flow interact with turbulence and/or vortical structures present in the continuous phase, resulting ... -
An Interactive Support For Developing Environmentally Friendly Product Lifecycles
(2011-08-04)Products make substantial impact on environment. Design for Environment (DfE) is an approach to design where all the environmental impacts of a product are considered over entire products life. Since over 80% of the product ... -
Interannual Variation of Monsoon in a High Resolution AGCM with Climatological SST Forcing
(2018-04-06)Interannual variation of Indian summer (June-September: JJAS) monsoon rainfall (ISMR) depends on its relative intensity during early (June-July: JJ; contribution 52%) and late (August-September: AS; contribution 49%) phases. ... -
