Felsböschung Bristenstrasse
(2000)Schweizer Ingenieur und ArchitektDie Bristenstrasse zwischen Amsteg und St. Antoni wurde im Laufe der vergangenen Jahrzehnte wiederholt durch Felsstürze verschüttet. Nach dem letzten grossen Felsabbruch vom 19. Januar 1995 und der Wiedererstellung der Strasse wurde vom Kanton Uri eine umfassende felsmechanische Untersuchung eingeleitet, um die Stabilität bzw. die Sicherheit der Strasse nach klaren Kriterien zu beurteilen und geeignete Sicherungsmassnahmen zu definieren.Report -
Focal Report 5: Using Scenarios to Assess Risks
(2012)CSS Risk and Resilience ReportsThis report aims to shed some light on the interrelationship between (different types of) scenarios and risk assessment by looking more closely at risk management approaches in Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom. In turn, it aims to develop a more nuanced understanding of the value and limits of scenarios in risk assessment.Report -

Imaging acoustic obstacles by hypersingular point sources
(2011)Research ReportWe investigate a qualitative method for imaging acoustic obstacles in two and three dimensions by boundary measurements. The imaging scheme makes use of the hypersingular point sources. Rigorous mathematical justification of the imaging method is established, and numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed imaging scheme.Report -
Optimization Based Autonomous Racing of 1:43 Scale RC Cars
(2013)Report Institute of Automatic Control, ETH ZürichThis paper describes autonomous racing of RC race cars based on mathematical optimization. Using a dynamical model of the vehicle, control inputs are computed by receding horizon based controllers, where the objective is to maximize progress on the track subject to the requirement of staying on the track and avoiding opponents. Two different control formulations are presented. The first controller employs a two- level structure, consisting ...Report -
