We would also like to give a special thanks to the chauffeur who let us participate on a route, and provided us with a lot of interesting information needed to understand the complexity of the work. The project has been very challenging and we would not have made it without the help of our supervisor Mehdi Sharifyazdi.

At the end we will like to thank our partners and family for good support and positive enthusiasm during the work with this Master Thesis.
