Travellers can recognise a destination that appeals to them but rarely describe one. This thesis swaps the search form for paired images and infers preference from the choices.
An IEEE 830 requirements specification for a warning app that identifies hazardous traffic situations a car's own sensors cannot see, yielding 40 requirements, grouped, rated and prioritised.
A strategic analysis of a market defined by heavy regulation, near-identical products and almost no basic innovation, followed by a disruptive product concept built for exactly those conditions.
A modern vehicle is a networked computer with wheels, and every convenience it adds is an attack surface. The standards, the containment concepts, and the modules behind them.
Interface patterns that steer users toward the operator's interests rather than their own. An interview study comparing how well laypeople and experts recognise them, with a smaller gap than expected.
Six models compared on the APS Failure at Scania Trucks dataset. Isolation Forest produced the most promising result, trading type 2 errors for a substantial reduction in type 1 errors.
Rationalisation is usually discussed as a cost figure. This paper treats it as a repeated management process with consequences, technical, organisational and human, that outlast the saving.
A cross-platform application for tracking shuttle vehicles in real time, built to replace guesswork about when the next bus actually arrives.
A bachelor's thesis on designing mobile logistics tooling that integrates with SAP, intended for just-in-time operations run across international sites.
Distributed teams are a coordination problem before they are a tooling problem. GitHub Projects as an answer, and why the answer has to be socio-technical.
Weeks before the GDPR took effect: what pseudonymisation and anonymisation actually buy an organisation, and the point at which both stop protecting anything.

Why the enemy of your enemy becomes your friend, stated as a property of signed graphs, and what that predicts about political alliances and product ratings.
