TAKEN 7 – Cooperative CAV decision-making using Graph Neural Networks

Before fully autonomous driving is achieved, connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs) will operate for a certain period in mixed traffic, which includes both CAVs and human-driven vehicles (HDVs). The dynamic and interactive conditions in mixed traffic scenarios renders CAV decision making particularly challenging. This project will investigate the use of Graph Convolutional  Deep Reinforcement Learning for … Read more

TAKEN 8 – Privacy-aware travel assistant

Current journey planners only provide information before the start of a journey. This project will investigate how travellers can be supported during their travels, proactively notifying them if they should update their travel plans because of delays disruptions. A key aspect is to ensure that the privacy of the traveller is maintained.

Comparing statistical methodologies for assessing yield variation across harvests in agricultural grasslands

ELIGIBILITY: This project is for a student taking the MSc in Statistics and Sustainability or the online MSc in Statistics and Data Science. In agriculture, grasslands can play an important role in producing feed for animals and maintaining soil health in crop rotations. In recent years, mixing plant species with complementary traits have been proposed … Read more

[Project taken] A comparison of analytical methods for assessing the relationship between species diversity and ecosystem outputs.

ELIGIBILITY: This project is for a student taking the online MSc in Statistics and Data Science or the MSc in Statistics and Sustainability. Biodiversity and ecosystem function studies investigate the relationship between species diversity and the outputs of an ecosystem. This project will compare two different analytical methods for analysing this relationship, one an ANOVA … Read more
