Mätningar av internetkapacitet, tillförlitlighet och fördröjning i ett Stockholmsbaserat Starlink-system : En undersökning av hur satellitinternet kan bidra till att ökateckningsgrad i Sverige / Measurements of internet capacity, reliability and delay in a Starlinksystem based in Stockholm : A study on how satellite internet can contribute to increased wireless connectivity in SwedenHöglund, Niclas January 2024 (has links)
Det är mycket dyrt att utveckla markinfrastruktur för att försörja hela jorden med internet. Detta ärspeciellt fallet i glesbebyggda områden då det finns lite ekonomisk vinning. Sverige som är ett stortoch glesbefolkat land har stora områden av denna typ. Samtidigt är Sverige ett högteknologiskt landdär en stor majoritet av befolkningen använder internet och mobiltelefoni dagligen. Det skapar ettdilemma som är mycket kostsamt att lösa med markbunden teknologi.Sveriges regering samarbetar med teleoperatörer. De köper licenser på auktion för att få användaradiospektrum inom Sverige vilket är en begränsad resurs. I utbyte måste de uppnå vissa täcknings-krav. Dessa teleoperatörer åläggs därmed att täcka Sveriges yt a med potentiell uppkoppling och mo-bilt internet och ingår i ett avtal med regeringen för att få verka.Det är däremot inte särskilt ekonomiskt att göra detta på landsbygden där det bor få människor ochnyttjande av individuella markstationer blir mycket låg. Detta leder då till att dessa master är mycketolönsamma och det är dessutom ett slöseri med resurse r såsom mark, område, natur, material ochpengar. Företag är därför beredda att spendera stora mängder pengar på att undvika att belastas medkrav från Sveriges regering för att utföra detta.Samtidigt är satellitinternet på frammarsch och fler och fler personer världen över införskaffar inter-net via satellit. Detta har blivit ett alternativ.Mycket trådlös teknologi använder specifika olika radiofrekvenser för att överföra information. Dennya typen av satellitinternet använder generellt radiofrekvenser i de så kallade Ku - och Ka-bandenvilka påverkas av vatten. Detta innebär till exempel att regn eller snö ger viss påverkan på kvalitén avden trådlösa förbindelsen.En fråga som bör utredas är hur satellitinternet jämför sig med existerande tekniker som 4G och 5G.På detta sätt kan man uppskatta deras användbarhet.Detta examensarbete fokuserar på att hjälpa till att samla in kunskap i den frågan. För att åstad-komma detta, har det utförts prestandamätningar på relevanta faktorer av en tjänst som tillhanda-håller satellitinternet. Starlink, som är den mest utvecklade s atellitinternettjänsten är föremål fördessa mätningar. Resultatet har blivit mätningar av Starlinks prestanda samt jämförelser mellan4G/5G och Starlink som förhoppningsvis kan belysa Starlinks användbarhet i Norden.Mätningarna indikerar att Starlink har god tillförlitlighet som är jämförbar med mobilnät men i Sve-rige har Starlink onödig fördröjning på cirka 20 millisekunder på grund av att markstationerna ärbelägna i Centraleuropa. / It is very expensive to develop ground-based infrastructure to supply the entire earth with internet.This is especially the case in loosely populated areas where the economic incentive is very low for acompany. Sweden which is a large country with a small population has many areas in this category.At the same time, Sweden is a technologically advanced nation where most people use the internetand mobile telephony daily.The Swedish government cooperates with teleoperators. These teleoperators buy licenses on auctionto be able to use radio spectrum within Sweden which is a limited resource. In exchange they need tofulfill certain quotas on reception and wireless service. The operators are in this way obligated by theSwedish government to supply the country with the potential for reception .However, this is not very economic in rural areas where few people live, and the usage of individualground stations is low. This leads to ground stations being very unprofitable and is also a waste ofresources such as land, materials and capital. Companies are willing to spend large sums of money toavoid obligation to do this.At the same time satellite internet is becoming increasingly sophisticated and more and more peopleworldwide are starting to adopt satellite internet.A lot of wireless technology uses specific different radio frequencies to transmit information. The newtype of satellite internet generally uses frequencies within the Ku - and Ka-bands which are both af-fected by water. This means that for example, rain or snow could affect the quality of the wirelessconnection.A question that should be discussed is how satellite internet compares to existing technologies like4G and 5G. If this is done, it will be easier for involved parties to estimate its usefulness.This bachelor’s thesis focuses on gathering information to help resolve the question of how usefulsatellite internet can be. To accomplish this, performance measurements have been performed on aservice that provides satellite internet. Starlink, which is the most deployed satellite internet service,has been the subject of these measurements. The result is measurements on the performance of Star-link and comparisons between 4G/5G and Starlinks that can hopefully help shed some light on Star-links usefulness in Scandinavia.The measurements indicate that Starlink delivers a reliable connection that can be compared to mo-bile service but that in Sweden there is an added delay of circa 20 milliseconds due to the groundstations being located in central Europe.

StarLink(TM) Corn: A Case StudySheumack, Michele Denise, n/a January 2004 (has links)
The 18 September 2000 disclosure that StarLink corn, a genetically engineered variety not approved for human consumption, had been detected in food was a seminal event in agricultural biotechnology. This thesis presents a comprehensive case study of the StarLink incident (part one), reviews the StarLink situation in terms of crisis management theory (part two) and develops crisis management theory using the StarLink incident as an example of a crisis (part three). Part one provides background information, then a meticulous day-by-day account of StarLink-related events. Part two presents a detailed overview of crisis management theory, then examines the StarLink situation in terms of pre-crisis (warning signals, preconditions for a crisis, crisis trigger), crisis (how Aventis, the biotechnology provider, managed the crisis and opinions concerning crisis handling) and post-crisis (lessons learned). Part three develops crisis management theory using the StarLink situation as an example of a crisis. It evaluates whether the StarLink incident possessed characteristics predicted for modern crises and suggests other factors which may become more prevalent and significant in future crises. The StarLink incident delivers certain practical lessons for managers, regulators and others and demonstrates a number of characteristics of modern crises.

Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to Facilitate Traffic Incident ManagementHill, Adam William 03 February 2025 (has links) (PDF)
Incident management teams (IMTs) minimize crash impacts and create a safer highway network for people and communities. Research has shown that optimizing the IMT fleet has strong benefits to the roadway network, but future models indicate that increasing IMT presence may have diminishing returns after excessive roadway saturation. The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) would like to improve situational awareness in areas of poor or limited camera coverage, where situational awareness is typically poor. UDOT is considering the use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to provide live camera coverage of traffic conditions in these instances. This thesis synthesizes practice from case studies within the United States to create a best practice summary to guide future UAS implementation during IMT responses. Ten State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and one State Department of Public Safety were interviewed to create the State of the Practice summary. Interviews focused on understanding UAS livestream implementations during incidents, although some discussions of developing technology are summarized. UAS livestreams are highly feasible and can provide substantial benefits to DOTs. However, there are concerns about technology and potential policy limitations regarding security and safety considerations. Four key findings from the State of the Practice are summarized for UAS livestream integrations. These findings concern the use of UAS manufactured by DJI, tethered UAS, the role of satellite internet connections, and the various streaming solutions. Technology summary tables are provided for quick reference, with general recommendations for future implementations and for UDOT IMT response teams specifically.
