A Robust Data Exchange Framework For Connected Vehicle Technology Supported Dynamic Transit Operations, Yucheng An
All Theses
Transit systems are an integral part of surface transportation systems. A connected vehicle technology (CVT) supported transit system will assist the users to manage trips both dynamically and efficiently. The primary focus of this research is to develop and evaluate the performance of a secure, scalable, and resilient data exchange framework. In the developed data exchange framework, a new data analytics layer, named Transit Cloud, is used to receive data from different sources, and send it to different users for a Dynamic Transit Operations (DTO) application. The DTO application allows the transit users to request trip information and obtain itineraries, …
Creating Abstract Motion Sculptures Through Simulation, Jonathan M. Barry
Creating Abstract Motion Sculptures Through Simulation, Jonathan M. Barry
All Theses
Inspired by artists of the late 19th-century and early 20th-century, such as Etienne-Jules Marey, Marcel Duchamp and Anton Bragaglia, this thesis describes the development of dynamic motion sculptures abstracted from motion capture data combined with simulation and procedural modeling techniques. The methods described in this thesis present a robust, simulation-driven, and artist friendly process for manipulating animated point data into concrete and controllable structures. SideFX Software's 3D development package, Houdini, was used for nearly all aspects of the production. The node-based workflow streamlined the process of building, testing, and integrating custom tools and provided a system for procedural modeling and …
