  1. 1. Development of an electric driveline model for multiscale road-cargo simulations

    University essay from KTH/Väg- och spårfordon samt konceptuell fordonsdesign

    Author : Runzhe Wu; [2022]
    Keywords : System Engineering; AnyLogic Traffic Simulation; Simulink Simulation; Driveline Model Building; C Program Execution; Systemteknik; AnyLogic Trafiksimulering; Simulink Simulering; Drivelinemodell; C Programexekvering;

    Abstract : Currently, the road cargo system with low or zero CO2 emission is under rapid development. Heavy-duty trucks with electrified driveline systems will be the workhorse of future freight. READ MORE

  3. 2. Tyre Performance Estimation during Normal Driving

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fordonssystem

    Author : Marcus Grip; [2021]
    Keywords : tyre performance; tread wear; tyre wear; online estimation; friction performance; velocity performance; friction potential; longitudinal stiffness; tyre stiffness;

    Abstract : Driving with tyres not appropriate for the actual conditions can not only lead to accidents related to the tyres, but also cause detrimental effects on the environment via emission of rubber particles if the driving conditions are causing an unexpectedly high amount of tread wear. Estimating tyre performance in an online setting is therefore of interest, and the feasibility to estimate friction performance, velocity performance, and tread wear utilizing available information from the automotive grade sensors is investigated in this thesis.

  4. 3. Circular economy in the construction industry: An insight into the difficulties and possibilities with improving the concrete recycling rate for housing in Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Emelie Sundlin; [2021]
    Keywords : Sustainable Development; Circular Economy; Concrete Recycling; Recycled Aggregate; Housing; Construction Waste;

    Abstract : In accordance with the Paris Agreement and the national goal of climate neutrality by 2045, Sweden needs to lower its greenhouse gas emissions. The second-largest source of CO2 emissions in the country comes from the production of cement, one of the main ingredients of concrete. READ MORE

  5. 4. Model Predictive Control for Vision-Based Platooning Utilizing Road Topography

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