Datenqualität in Rapid Prototyping ProzessenHaugwitz, Carsten 10 December 2016 (has links) (PDF)
Inhalt
Die Technologien des Rapid Prototypings erreichen eine immer größer werdende Marktdurchdringung und erweitern die Möglichkeiten von Ingenieuren und Spezialisten angrenzender Fachbereiche. Je nach Datenursprung werden Schnittstellen wie Step oder STL genutzt oder es sind Zwischenschritte erforderlich, um die Daten aus 3D Scannern oder bildgebenden Quellen (CT; MRT) weiter zu verarbeiten. Dabei gibt es Fehler und Ungenauigkeiten in der Datenkette, die analysiert hier werden sollen. Aus den Kenntnissen über die Fehler sollen Methoden aufgezeigt werden, um die Datenqualität zu erhöhen, die Datenmengen zu verringern und die Prozesse zu stabilisieren. / Data quality rapid prototyping processes

A decision analysis of an oil company's retail strategy in the face of electric vehicle penetration uncertaintyJo, Dohyun 19 July 2012 (has links)
This thesis evaluates emerging electric vehicle technology and estimates what effect it might have on how an oil company decides on its gas station network. It is conducted using data from South Korea, a country poised for a fast adoption of electric vehicles. The study first reviews the literature to gather reasonable cases of electric vehicle penetration. Also, after researching technology-diffusion theories, the study selects a model that can well explain the literature review data. The scenarios induced by this function are utilized as the main uncertainties confronting an oil company’s network decision model. Based on a probabilistic simulation, the study finds that the effects of technology diffusion alter the priority order of an oil company’s network decision alternatives. Namely, after the overall uncertainty level rises, directly owning gas station, with its heavy initial investment, is not preferred for an oil company’s network strategy. From the result, the study also estimates the scale of the new technology’s effect. Such effect is found to be significant enough to alter a part of an oil company’s retail strategy. Nevertheless, such effect cannot be shown to be so great as to change the current retail oil market structures. / text

The impact of direct foreign investment upon industrial structure : a case study of the UK electrical and instrument engineering industry : a reappraisal of the model of industrial structure incorporating the impact of direct foreign investment, utilising empirical evidence from a survey of the electrical and instrument engineering industryNewton, David John January 1979 (has links)
With the development of multinational corporations, the United Kingdom has experienced increasing penetration of its economy by foreign affiliates. This is particularly noticeable in high technology industries such as Electrical and Instrument Engineering. The thesis identifies the mechanism by which direct foreign investment can influence industrial structure in such an industry; charts the effects within the UK Electrical and Instrument Engineering Industry; and identifies the extent to which this impact varies with the nationality of the investor. The study begins with a synthesis of the comprehensive and complex material available upon industrial/market structure and direct foreign investment. Chapters 2 and 3 demonstrate that the structure of Electrical and Instrument Engineering has changed significantly since the inter-war years. Productive capacity has expanded faster than that of any other UK industry. Throughout the minimum-list-headings of the industry market power has become more concentrated in the hands of the largest companies. Individual affiliates now display greater product specialisation and vertical integration, whilst the level of entry barriers has risen steadily. The model presented in chapter-3 hypothesises that direct foreign investment can be related to industrial structure in three distinct ways. Firstly, that a relationship exists between the distribution of foreign affiliates 11 25 I and the structural characteristics of the industries in which they operate. Secondly, that a similar relationship exists across the minimum-list-headings of each individual industry. Thirdly, that the operating characteristics of foreign affiliates in any individual minimum-list-heading differ from those of domestic companies. The first two of these are termed the Destination impact, and the third the Behavioural impact of direct foreign investment. The results of a survey of over 500 British and foreign owned companies, sub-divided by origin and size, suggest that foreign affiliates have contributed significantly to the changing structure of Electrical and Instrument Engineering both in their destination and behaviour. The destination of foreign investors was significantly related to areas displaying the fastest growth of productive capacity; imperfection of competition; technologically specialised and vertically integrated operations; and high barriers to entry. The behaviour of individual foreign affiliates was found to differ significantly from that of their UK counterparts (including affiliates of UK multinationals). Foreign owned companies exhibited high levels of sales. growth and efficiency; a disproportionate impact upon the distribution of market power; greater product specialisation and levels of vertical integration; and a significant contribution to the level of entry barriers. This influence was compounded by a greater productivity and profitability in the foreign affiliate; a differing pattern of geographical location to that of UK owned establishments; and a domestic reaction by UK companies and the government to foreign penetration. Variations within the foreign group were related to geographical origin. The total operations of US affiliates were most significant, but investors from EEC countries displayed characteristics which varied most from those of UK companies. The study concludes by relating changes in industrial structure to the presence of foreign affiliates, and outlining the implications of further foreign involvement

The impact of direct foreign investment upon industrial structure. A case study of the uk electrical and instrument engineering industry: A reappraisal of the model of industrial structure incorporating the impact of direct foreign investment, utilising empirical evidence from a survey of the electrical and instrument engineering industry.Newton, David J. January 1979 (has links)
With the development of multinational corporations,
the United Kingdom has experienced increasing penetration
of its economy by foreign affiliates. This is particularly
noticeable in high technology industries such as Electrical
and Instrument Engineering.
The thesis identifies the mechanism by which direct
foreign investment can influence industrial structure in
such an industry; charts the effects within the UK
Electrical and Instrument Engineering Industry; and identifies
the extent to which this impact varies with the
nationality of the investor.
The study begins with a synthesis of the comprehensive
and complex material available upon industrial/market
structure and direct foreign investment.
Chapters 2 and 3 demonstrate that the structure of
Electrical and Instrument Engineering has changed significantly
since the inter-war years. Productive capacity
has expanded faster than that of any other UK industry.
Throughout the minimum-list-headings of the industry
market power has become more concentrated in the hands of
the largest companies. Individual affiliates now display
greater product specialisation and vertical integration,
whilst the level of entry barriers has risen steadily.
The model presented in chapter-3 hypothesises that
direct foreign investment can be related to industrial
structure in three distinct ways. Firstly, that a relationship
exists between the distribution of foreign affiliates
11 25 I
and the structural characteristics of the industries in
which they operate. Secondly, that a similar relationship
exists across the minimum-list-headings of each individual
industry. Thirdly, that the operating characteristics of
foreign affiliates in any individual minimum-list-heading
differ from those of domestic companies. The first two of
these are termed the Destination impact, and the third the
Behavioural impact of direct foreign investment.
The results of a survey of over 500 British and
foreign owned companies, sub-divided by origin and size,
suggest that foreign affiliates have contributed significantly
to the changing structure of Electrical and Instrument
Engineering both in their destination and behaviour.
The destination of foreign investors was significantly
related to areas displaying the fastest growth of productive
capacity; imperfection of competition; technologically
specialised and vertically integrated operations; and high
barriers to entry.
The behaviour of individual foreign affiliates was
found to differ significantly from that of their UK

Data Support of Advanced Traveler Information System Considering Connected Vehicle TechnologyIqbal, Md Shahadat 04 October 2017 (has links)
Traveler information systems play a significant role in most travelers’ daily trips. These systems assist travelers in choosing the best routes to reach their destinations and possibly select suitable departure times and modes for their trips. Connected Vehicle (CV) technologies are now in the pilot program stage. Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communications will be an important source of data for traffic agencies. If this data is processed properly, then agencies will be able to better determine traffic conditions, allowing them to take proper countermeasures to remedy transportation system problems under different conditions.
This research focuses on developing methods to assess the potential of utilizing CV data to support the traveler information system data collection process. The results from the assessment can be used to establish a timeline indicating when an agency can stop investing, at least partially, in traditional technologies, and instead rely on CV technologies for traveler information system support. This research utilizes real-world vehicle trajectory data collected under the Next Generation Simulation (NGSIM) program and simulation modeling to emulate the use of connected vehicle data to support the traveler information system. NGSIM datasets collected from an arterial segment and a freeway segment are used in this research. Microscopic simulation modeling is also used to generate required trajectory data, allowing further analysis, which is not possible using NGSIM data.
The first step is to predict the market penetration of connected vehicles in future years. This estimated market penetration is then used for the evaluation of the effectiveness of CV-based data for travel time and volume estimation, which are two important inputs for the traveler information system. The travel times are estimated at different market penetrations of CV. The quality of the estimation is assessed by investigating the accuracy and reliability with different CV deployment scenarios. The quality of volume estimates is also assessed using the same data with different future scenarios of CV deployment and partial or no detector data. Such assessment supports the identification of a timeline indicating when CV data can be used to support the traveler information system.

Potential Implication of Automated Vehicle Technologies on Travel Behavior and System ModelingSadat Lavasani Bozorg, Seyed Mohammad Ali 01 November 2016 (has links)
Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) are computer equipped vehicles that can operate without human driver’s active control using information provided by their sensors about the surrounding environment. Self-driving vehicles may have seemed to be a distant dream several years ago, but manufactures’ prototypes showed that AVs are becoming real now. Several car manufactures (i.e. Benz, Audi, etc.) and information technology firms (i.e. Google) have either showcased their fully AVs or announced their robot cars to be released in a few years. AVs hold the promise to transform the ways we live and travel. Although several studies have been conducted on the impacts of AVs, much remains to be explored regarding the various ways in which AVs could reshape our lifestyle.
This dissertation addresses the knowledge gap in understanding the potential implications of AV technologies on travel behavior and system modeling. A comprehensive review of literature regarding AV adoption, potential impacts and system modeling was provided. Bass diffusion models were developed to investigate the market penetration process of AVs based on experience learned from past technologies. A stated preference survey was conducted to gather information from university population on the perceptions and attitudes toward AV technologies. The data collected from the Florida International University (FIU) was used to develop econometric models exploring the willingness to pay and relocation choices of travelers in light of the new technologies. In addition, the latest version of the Southeast Planning Regional Model (SERPM) 7.0, an Activity-Based Model (ABM), was employed to examine the potential impacts of AVs on the transportation network. Three scenarios were developed for short-term (2035), mid-term (2045) and long-term (2055) conditions.
This dissertation provides a systematic approach to understand the potential implications of AV technologies on travel behavior and system modeling. The results of the survey data analysis and the scenario analysis also provide important inputs to guide planning and policy analysis on the impacts of AV technologies.
