The BUMP model of response planning: Variable horizon predictive control accounts for the speed-accuracy tradeoffs and velocity profiles of aimed movement
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)The BUMP model is a comprehensive discrete-time computational model of response planning. Developed within the Adaptive Model Theory framework, it is based on intermittent optimal control. The theory posits a basic unit ... -
Multi-Agents in a Virtual Regional Landscape
(Chapter, 2012)The Virtual Region More was a research project to investigate how to utilize visualization and simulation methods as planning tools for research and teaching in the More region on the west coast of Norway. The project was ... -
A Receding Horizon Genetic Algorithm for Dynamic Resource Allocation: A Case Study on Optimal Positioning of Tugs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)This paper presents a receding horizon genetic algorithm (RHGA) for dynamic resource allocation. The algorithm combines methods from control theory and computational intelligence to simultaneously solve the problems of (i) ... -
Wood shrinkage coefficient and dry weight moisture content estimations from CT-images
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)The aim of this work was to try out an algorithm for estimating wood shrinkage coefficients from X-ray computed tomography images. The maximal amount of shrinkage that could occur from a green wood to oven-dry wood condition ... -
A sustainable model for optimal dynamic allocation of patrol tugs to oil tankers
(Chapter, 2013)Oil tanker traffic constitutes a vital part of the maritime operations in the High North and is associated with considerable risk to the environment. As a consequence, the Norwegian Coastal Administration (NCA) administers ... -

Development of adaptive locomotion of a caterpillar-like robot based on a sensory feedback CPG model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)This paper presents a novel Control mechanism for generating adaptive locomotion of a caterpillar-like robot in complex terrain. Inspired by biological findings in studies of the locomotion of the lamprey, we employ sensory ... -
An improved receding horizon genetic algorithm for the tug fleet optimisation problem
(Chapter, 2014)A fleet of tugs along the northern Norwegian coast must be dynamically positioned to minimise the risk of oil tanker drifting accidents. We have previously presented a receding horizon genetic algorithm (RHGA) for solving ... -
Dynamic Resource Allocation with Maritime Application (DRAMA): Final Report
(Research report, 2014)An important challenge within the offshore industry and sea traffic preparedness is how to plan and optimise the positioning of a fleet of vessels in a dynamic, everchanging environment such that operating costs and risks ... -
