In this master thesis, we present an overview of the U-Space and Regulations in Europe, while also taking into consideration the progression of the integration of both parts in Norwegian airspace over the Norwegian continental shelf. This thesis is mainly separated into three parts. The first part is taking a look into the European Union's roadmap/plan for establishing an Unmanned Aircraft System ...

Extended reality is experiencing rapid growth, in both hardware and software and the marked is expanding targeting consumers, businesses and industry. At UiT, Narvik there is established an extended reality laboratory that have a potential to have an impact on the future for education and industry. However, the virtual environment is challenging to operate and navigate with the current equipment. ...

Åpne linjegrøfter, stikkrenner og bekkeløp er essensielt for å ha et sikkert og velfungerende veg- og jernbanenett. Det vises at iskjøving er et av hovedproblemene som gjør at vannet fryser til is i nærheten til infrastrukturen og man får driftsforstyrrelser i form at is som enten har falt ned på vegbanen, eller fryser ut i skjæringene og gir reduksjon av profilet som jernbanens materiell krever for ...

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, supply, demand, and logistics have all been affected. Due to its unpredictable severity, the pandemic has highlighted the need to modify the existing supply chain model, the consumer structure model, and the digitization of markets. At the same time, the situation under COVID-19 offers increasing opportunities for e-commerce, including new business models and ...

The main research aspect behind this project was the problem in docking the ship to the port with limited space and resources available, causing number of onsite accidents and loss of resources. The main objective is to increase safety on ports, reduce pollution and increase fuel efficiency, also reduce the docking time for the vessels, which can be achieved by developing an autonomous docking system ...

In this thesis, we examine the viability of training a convolutional neural network using synthetic data. The cnn is used for image recognition in an rms. We create a program that can render 3D models from STL files as images with varied backgrounds. The process of creating and training an image recognition model is also automated. Lastly, the model is used for image recognition. The report ...

The sustainability of the power grid owing to the building strain of the ever-growing demand for electrical energy urges innovative and more practical solutions that enable active participation of end-users in stable and reliable management of power systems. One of the emerging projections of such a two-way exchange of electrical power between the grid and consumers is the developing field of ...

The CO2 emission is considered as one of the main elements for causing the global climatic change. The maritime industry contributes about 2.5% of the worldwide CO2 gas emission annually. The International Maritime Industry (IMO) has set the target of has set the target of reducing the total annual emission from international shipping to 70% by 2050. So, the carbon capture, utilization, and storage ...

The aim of this research is to assess the response of a thin membrane subjected to high-pressure gas loading for inflation. This procedure is applied during the design process of the membrane structure to allow the product to resist high-pressure loading and to further characterize the hyper-elastic material. The simulation in this work considers the standard procedures used in the LS-DYNA software, ...

Atmospheric icing on structures has proven to be an area of concern in many cold climate geographical regions like arctic and alpine. Difficulties encountered by the communication, construction and power industries in these areas are the subject of intense investigations for researchers from decades. Three main methods of investigation are generally employed by researchers to study atmospheric ice ...
