State Of Research

The legion camp “Vindonissa” in Switzerland is considered one of the most important roman sites north of the alps. Research there has been going on for over a century and reconstructive drawings have always been a way to showcase scientific findings of the site, the earliest of them dating back as far as 1909.In 2015, it was decided to produce a new series of illustrations. The whole camp and its surrounding settlements had to be constructed as hand-generated 3D models, allowing for quick changes during the reconstructive process and flexibility in future adaptations. Topographical data, archaeological plans as well as building profiles provided by experts were the basis for the model.The main focus was on a general impression of the camp and not on individual buildings but some landmarks as the newly postulated circus were crafted with a higher level of detail as they are the topic of scientific discourse and it helps the discussion if they have a certain fidelity. The circus also serves as a good example for the value of the imaging process in research: Only after trying to fit it into the topography it was noted that it would overlap with a street that was previously thought to run through this area. In the discussion between archaeologists and illustrators a new path for the street was chosen that fits into the landscape and is scientifically acceptable.The new series of illustrations was originally published in the annual report of the archaeological society Vindonissa. The resulting model represents the current state of research but mainly serves as a starting point for future discussion: All buildings are constructed so that they can easily be adapted for real-time use and a Virtual Reality application is the logical next step for its use.

Independent Tasks

Enabling higher levels of autonomy requires an increased ability to identify and handle internal faults and unforeseen changes in the environment. This work presents an approach to improve this ability for a robotic system executing a series of independent tasks, such as inspection, sampling, or intervention, at different locations. A dynamic decision network (DDN) is used to infer the presence of internal faults and the state of the environment by fusing information over time. This knowledge is used to make risk-informed decisions enabling the system to proactively avoid failure and to minimize the consequence of faults. Past states are evaluated with new information to identify and counteract previous sub-optimal actions. A case study on an inspection drone tasked with contact-based ultrasound inspection is presented. The case study successfully demonstrates the proposed capabilities while minimizing time use and maximizing mission completion.

Many performing venues in Taiwan are historical. After long-time use, both the structure and equipment system of these venues have aged, thus causing critical impact on the stage, lighting, and sound effects. Based on the case of the Experimental Theater at the National Theater, this study investigated what should be noticed when renovating the theater lighting system, in order to provide an innovation guide for the management. This study also gathered the relevant information for maintaining the theater lighting system, in order to provide a reference for maintenance personnel to ensure the usability and functionality of dimmer systems.

The recent identification of potentially extensive shale-gas resources within the United States has generated mixed public and political responses. The purpose of this study is to apply the Multilevel Model of Meme Diffusion (M3D) in an empirical case study of the fracking controversy. This analysis supports the heuristic value of the M3D and the value of digital technologies as indexes of controversial opinions, showing the potential of monitoring and registering social opinion trends with geospatially sensitive methods. This study integrates the fields of geography and computer-mediated communication technology to account for social processes.

Purpose: Public transport is one of the bigger causes of air pollution, but at the same time use public transport helps in lowering the use of personal transport and with that, it lowers the pollution and influence on the environment. Air pollution is significantly influencing the environment and the public transport companies are looking for different ways to reduce air pollution. Thus, the transport companies need to pay attention to their activities and modernization of the fleet to lower their influence on air pollution. Design/Methodology/Approach: In the writing of this paper we used mainly desk research method for the literature review and case study method for presenting the project of the transport company. Findings and implications: GPP Osijek has started a project of fleet modernization which consists of the purchase of 12 new modern city buses which have a lower influence on the environment regarding air pollution. Besides this company is making additional steps in reducing their influence on the environment and testing hybrid fueled buses. In the next period, authors recommend conducting research on environmental influence regarding air pollution and possibly lowering the noise pollution. Limitations: This paper main limitation is that there are still no results in how much the influence on the environment has been lowered and this should be studied in the future. Originality: This paper presents one of the first research studies about environmental management in public transport companies in Croatia.
