1. 11. OptimalSpeed Controller for a Heavy-Duty Vehicle in the Presence of SurroundingTraffic

   University essay from KTH/Optimeringslära och systemteori

   Author : Jakob Arnoldsson; [2018]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This thesis has explored the concept of an intelligent fuel-efficient speed controller for a heavy-duty vehicle, given that it is limited by a preceding vehicle. A Model Predictive Controller (MPC) has been developed together with a PI-controller as a reference controller. READ MORE

3. 12. Heavy Vehicle Braking using Friction Estimation for Controller Optimization

   University essay from KTH/Fordonsdynamik

   Author : Dimitrios Kalakos; Bernhard Westerhof; [2017]
   Keywords : Heavy Vehicles; Emergency Braking; Friction Estimation; Controller Optimization; Vehicle Validation; Slip Control Braking; Vehicle Testing;

   Abstract : In this thesis project, brake performance of heavy vehicles is improved by the development of new wheel-based functions for a longitudinal slip control braking system using novel Fast Acting Braking Valves (FABVs). To achieve this goal, Volvo Trucks' vehicle dynamics model has been extended to incorporate the FABV system. READ MORE

   University essay from Högskolan Väst/Avdelningen för produktionssystem (PS)

   Author : Björn Lindqvist; [2017]
   Keywords : Braking distance; Industrial robot; SafeMove;

   Abstract : Industrial robots are increasingly used within the manufacturing industry, especially in collaborative applications, where robots and operators are intended to work together in certain tasks. This collaboration needs to be safe, to ensure that an operator does not get injured in any way. READ MORE

5. 14. Longitudinal Control of a Heavy-Duty Vehicle

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektro- och systemteknik (EES)

   Author : Jonathan Fagerström; [2016]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Platooning and cooperative driving can decrease the emissions of greenhouse gases and increase the traffic capacity of the roads. The Grand Cooperative Driving Challenge, GCDC, is a competition that was held in May 2016 on highway A270, between Helmond and Eindhoven in the Netherlands. The competition is focused on cooperative driving. READ MORE
