Practice and Precedent in Historical Gloss Games

Modern construction vehicles are required to perform very well in tough conditions. It is therefore of great importance that they have well developed gear shift strategies to manage with these requirements. These strategies are updated often and they are normally based on empirical knowledge and extensive testing. It is of interest to know if software tools can be used to provide theoretical analysis to further modernize and improve the gear shift strategy design process. This thesis investigates this possibility by creating an optimization tool that can provide various optimized simulations. These simulations finds the theoretical optimal velocities and gear shifts for driving specific distances. It is done by creating a vehicle model that is used to form an optimal control problem. This optimal control problem uses a dynamical programming algorithm as a solver and the results are optimized simulations. The optimization tool has the possibility to investigate ways to minimize travel time, fuel consumption and durability losses. It is concluded that there are ways to drive that can reduce the fuel consumption and durability losses by a large amount while not affecting the travel time very much.Moderna byggfordon har höga krav på att prestera väl i tuffa miljöer. Det är därför viktigt att de har väl utvecklade växlingsstrategier så att dessa krav kan uppfyllas. Strategierna är uppdaterade ofta och bygger normalt på empirisk kunskap samt noggranna tester. Det är utav intresse att undersöka om mjukvaruverktyg kan användas för att göra teoretiska analyser som kan modernisera och förbättra utvecklingsprocessen utav växlingsstrategier. Det här arbetet undersöker den här möjligheten genom att skapa ett optimeringsverktyg som kan bidra med diverse optimerade simuleringar. Dessa simuleringar görs genom att hitta de teoretiskt bästa hastighetsprofilerna samt växlingar för att köra specifika sträckor. Detta möjliggörs genom skapandet utav en fordonsmodell som sedan används till att formulera ett optimeringsproblem. Optimeringsproblemet löses genom en dynamisk programmeringsalgoritm. Det resulterande optimeringsverktyget kan undersöka sätt att minimera körtid, bränsleförbrukning samt hållbarhetsförluster. Det visas att det finns sätt att köra som kan minska bränsleförbrukningen och hållbarhetsförlusterna mycket medans körtiden bara ökas lite

Lethality, Public Carry, and Adequate Alternatives

This Article explores the relationship between lethality and the right to bear arms, and considers how that relationship might be shaped by the availability of non-lethal alternative weapons. Prior scholarship has asked whether the Second Amendment includes a right to carry non-lethal “Arms.” An important set of related questions remains: does the Second Amendment necessarily include a right to arm oneself publicly with lethal force, if non-lethal alternatives are available? And how should one evaluate the adequacy of those alternatives

What is Gun Control? Direct Burdens Incidental Burdens, and the Boundaries of the Second Amendment

Particularly in places with few recognizable gun control laws, “gun neutral” civil and criminal rules are an important but often-unnoticed basis for the legal regulation of guns. The burdens that these rules impose on the keeping and bearing of arms are at times significant, but they are also incidental, which raises hard questions about the boundaries between constitutional law, regulation, and legally enforceable private ordering. Does the Second Amendment apply to civil suits for trespass, negligence, and nuisance? Does the Amendment cover gun-neutral laws of general applicability like assault and disturbing the peace? In the course of addressing these practical questions and the broader conceptual challenges that they represent, this Article fashions analytic tools that may be useful to a wide range of constitutional problems

“A Map Is Not the Territory”: The Theory and Future of Sensitive Places Doctrine

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen, courts are now confronted with new questions about where guns can be restricted and what justifications support those regulations. This Essay urges that the development of the doctrine governing location-based prohibitions should focus as much on the why as the where. Instead of simply isolating each location and considering the historical pedigree of gun restrictions in that place, judges should evaluate the reasons behind the sensitive places doctrine itself. We aim to recenter these first order questions to avoid haphazard doctrinal development that threatens to leave Second Amendment law incoherent and unpredictable. Judges developing the doctrine will need to avoid several hazards. Among them: pitching historical analogies too narrowly, neglecting sensitive location mobility, and excessively focusing on locational features rather than regulatory justifications. Whatever values ultimately underpin the doctrine, they should direct the shape of location-based challenges. Whether the doctrine is grounded in safeguarding the exercise of other constitutional rights, protecting the vulnerability of specific populations, recognizing the inhibited judgment or discretion of those gathered, or other values altogether, this Essay shows why justificatory and constitutional foundations must be set before the doctrinal structure is completely built

Firearms Law and Scholarship Beyond Bullets and Bodies

Academic work is increasingly important to court rulings on the Second Amendment and firearms law more generally. This article highlights two recent trends in social science research that supplement the traditional focus on guns and physical harm. The first strand of research focuses on the changing ways that gun owners connect with firearms, with personal security, status, identity, and cultural markers being key reasons people offer for possessing firearms. The second strand focuses on broadening our understanding of the impact of guns on the public sphere beyond just physical safety. This research surfaces the ways that guns can create fear, intimidation, and social trauma; deter civic participation and the exercise of constitutional rights; and further entrench racial inequality

Pointing Guns

The American gun debate is increasingly populated with scenes of people pointing and otherwise displaying guns. What is the legal regime governing gun displays, and how well can it address the distinct social and legal problems they pose? In this Essay, we argue that the current structure of criminal law does not supply clear rules of conduct sufficient to avoid the negative effects of gun displays, and that the rhetorical and expressive effects of Second Amendment debates threaten to make the situation worse. We also suggest how the legal rules might be improved, and how battles over norms—as much as criminal prohibitions and defenses—will continue to shape both social practice and law when it comes to displays of firearms in public and towards other persons
