1. 1. Aerodynamics simulations of Scania trucks using OpenFOAM

   University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

   Author : Ziyi Liu; [2024]
   Keywords : Heavy-duty truck; Computational fluid dynamics; Air drag; OpenFOAM;

   Abstract : In the field of heavy-duty vehicles, fuel efficiency and environmental protection are factors that need to be focused on, while the aerodynamic drag generated during vehicle travelling is one of the most influential aspects. This thesis delves into the aerodynamic simulation of Scania trucks using the open-source Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tool, OpenFOAM v2206. READ MORE

3. 2. Powering the Future: Unveiling the challenges associated with planning of charging infrastructure for heavy electric vehicles - A master thesis on the future planning of heavy charge infrastructure in Sweden

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

   Author : Hassan Abbas Cheema; Robin Holmgren; [2023-11-01]
   Keywords : heavy charge infrastructure;

   Abstract : The transport sector is currently transitioning into a more sustainable use of fuel. The current aim of the European Commission is to reduce the greenhouse gas net emissions by 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. Electric trucks are considered an important aspect in this transition.

4. 3. Variation Management Strategies for Future Construction Sites: A study to address role of an equipment rental business in the energy transition

   University essay from

   Author : Ellen Blanksvärd; Frida Svensson; [2023-09-21T12:07:03Z 2023-09-21T12:07:03Z 2023 2023]
   Keywords : battery storage; variation management; flexibility services; peak shaving; load shifting; demand side management; rental business; electrification; construction equipment; construction sites;

   Abstract : Construction sites are facing challenges with high power peaks due to electrificationof heavy equipment where potential consequences are increased power tariffs locallyand risk of limited power supply. Another development is an increased intermittentpower supply due to more wind- and solar power in the electricity system, whichcauses price fluctuations. READ MORE

5. 4. Dynamic axel load estimation for an electrified vehicle : Normalkraftestimering på drivaxeln

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för systemteknik

   Author : Majd Barakat; [2023]
   Keywords : Vehicle dynamics; Suspension systems; Vehicle design; Bounce-Pitch model; Car quarter model; Normal force; Normal force estimation;

   Abstract : The brake system is critical for ensuring safe driving and has been the focus of development for many years. Pneumatic braking technology is commonly used in heavy vehicles,but it results in energy wastage and high service costs. Some countries mandate auxiliarybraking systems to assist in stopping the vehicle in addition to service brakes. READ MORE

6. 5. Customizable Contraction Hierarchies for Mixed Fleet Vehicle Routing : Fast weight customization when not adhering to triangle inequality

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)
