Electrical Fast Transient - SAFE Embedded electronics for Aeronautic and Automotive Applications – EFT-SAFE3A
Up to now, the impact on ICs of Electrical Fast Transient (EFT) stress at system level is not well characterized, but with the recent evolution of semiconductor manufacturer requirements, transient induced IC failure becomes an important concern. This is mainly due to the drastic dimension shrinking
Vegetalisation of walls and streets as tool for urban resilience ? – ECOVILLE
The promotion of the nature is one of the tools used to improve the urban environment, reduce pollution, mitigate climate changes and contribute to the maintenance of biodiversity. But works in urban ecology have focused essentially on parks, gardens and green roofs. Only few researches involve the
For sustainable reinforcements of infrastructures with fiberglass grids – SolDuGri
Today, the grids are increasingly used in France and in many countries, to improve the life of the pavement. Applications are, both, new roads, repair and the reinforcement of cracked pavements. They relate to road pavements but also, increasingly, the industrial or hub ports and airport runways
Modeling of the durability of concrete constructions – MODEVIE
«The feedback shows that better management of aging structures, in a context of sustainable development, requires appropriate tools for predicting the performance and life of the structures. Furthermore, the development of such tools is also today an important issue that emerged during the conceptio
Collaborative Transportation in the Urban Distribution – TCDU
This project aims at developing models, mechanisms, optimization methods, and a web platform for the collaboration between shippers or carriers in urban distribution. To achieve this goal, the research and development work of this project is divided into five tasks: 1. Developing centralized planni
Hyperspectral imagery for Environmental urban Planning – HYEP
The proper characteristics of urban areas add complexity to the collection of spatial and environmental information. In fact, cities are characterised by strong internal dynamics, a very high spatial heterogeneity of its elements, geometric shapes (horizontal and vertical), and a large variety of ma
Multipolar Development in Harmonics applied to the modeling of complexe source of radiation for EMC – PolHar-CEM
* * * * The development of techniques for static conversion of electrical energy and materials used and the frequent coexistence of different electronic power levels especially in transport, led to widespread problems with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). In this context, this project is part of
Bike electronic protection – CYCLOPE
The objective of the CYCLOPE project is to develop low-cost technical solutions for the integration of cyclists in urban traffic by improving both their safety and the driving comfort of bus drivers. An experimental validation of an onboard bike warning device was carried out through measurement
Glass and Limestone Alteration: an innovative Methodology to study the mechanisms and kinetics – GLAM
Materials are subject to alteration when exposed to an urban environment and are potentially sensitive to the evolution of environmental parameters (rapidly densifying urbanization and environmental changes). That is why the sustainable building of high environmental quality has lately become a hot
Employment, Housing, Transport Infrastructure: Social Implications, Mobility and Environment – ELITISME
The study of short-term mobility decisions (daily commutes) and of the long-term mobility decisions (residential location and workplace) allowed us to highlight the role of bargaining within the household. We analyzed and estimated the interdependence of the choices made by the different household m
Non destructive testing and numerical inversion for monitoring large structures – ContINuS
The management of concrete built heritage has multiple aspects, technical, economic, administrative and is always an area of ??concern for researchers, engineers and project managers. The assessment of the state of large structures is a major issue for at least two reasons. First for an economic re
Commissioning of innovative systems in energy-efficient buildings – COMIS
The COMIS project aims at developing a new method for evaluating the efficiency of innovative systems in energy-efficient buildings, through an original commissioning approach focused on the first year of a building's operation, which is often particularly critical in terms of fine-tuning the active
MULTI APPROACH OF THE IMPACT OF BIOFUELS ON THE POST-TREATMENT EXHAUST GAS SYSTEMS – APPIBio
The Appibio project is dedicated to the elementary research that is required for technological advancement in transportation (heavy duty vehicles), with an aim of meeting future emission standards, while also focusing on the reduction of CO2 emissions. In order to meet the Euro VI standard, heavy du
Towards clean and efficient engines: FRANCE contribution to ECN – ECN FRANCE
Advanced development tools such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) are necessary to develop clean and efficient engine combustion systems for vehicles. But the predictability of CFD, hence its efficiency, depends on the degree of understanding of the physical phenomena occurring in the combustion
Modelling liquid jet atomisation with sub- and super-critical phase transition – SUB SUPER JET
The aim of this project is to develop a theoretical approach and associated computer code for Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) of liquid jet fragmentation and atomization in all thermodynamic conditions, from subcritical to supercritical pressure and temperature conditions. The transition between sub and
Cities and Energy Transitions: issues, instruments, processes, and multidisciplinary prospective evaluation. The case of the Ile-de-France Region. – VITE !
The research project ETC (Energy Transitions and Cities) aims to shed light on the long-term stakes, the contents and the social, spatial and environmental consequences of energy transition strategies implemented in a major urban region, as well as the potential for the involvement of actors in thes
Analysis of the dynamical coupling between the urban canopy and the turbulent atmospheric surface layer – URBANTURB
More than 50% of the world population currently lives in urban areas and this proportion is expected to keep increasing during the next decades due to the fact that most of the population natural growth will be absorbed in cities (World Urbanization Prospects, The 2011 Revision Highlights, United Na
Oxidation/Reduction CAtalyst for advanced Diesel Vehicles – ORCA
Diesel passenger vehicles represent an attractive long term solution to meet european CO2 emission reduction targets. As they also have to fulfill the stringent European pollutants emissions standards, these vehicles are equipped with complex and expensive aftertreatment systems. Active catalytic el
The Emerging Risks of Sustainable Mobility – RED
Curtailing the automotive sector and promoting alternatives to shift towards a transport and travel system that reduces greenhouse gas emissions is now a political priority displayed at all levels of government (local, national, international). The management of this consensual issue has already p
Multi-scale dynamics of filler particles and polymer in nanocomposites – NANODYN
The current discussion on the European regulation of CO2 emission of cars illustrates that it is urgent to reduce the contribution of car tires which amounts to some 20%.
