  1. 11. Methodology for Real Time Simulations of Autonomous Utility Vehicles

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Johan Borgström; [2020]
    Keywords : Real Time Simulations; HiL simulations; Autonomous Utility Vehicles;

    Abstract : This master thesis is a part of a research project where Luleå University of Technology (LTU) collaborates with University of Oulu, SINTEF Narvik and Oulu University of Applied Sciences. The goal with the research project is to develop a Nordic platform for development of autonomous, environmental friendly and energy efficient heavy vehicles in the forest, harbor and mining industry.

    Abstract : Motion planning for autonomous heavy duty vehicles has been intensively studied during the last years due to its promising benefits for industry in terms of money savings and safety. The system treated in this thesis is a 1-trailer truck. READ MORE

  4. 13. Map-aided localization for autonomous driving using a particle filter

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

    Author : Simon Eriksson; [2020]
    Keywords : Particle filter; Monte Carlo filter; Gaussian noise; Bayesian estimation; probabilistic localization; autonomous vehicles; Scania; OpenStreetMap; Partikelfilter; Monte Carlo-filter; Gaussiskt brus; Bayesisk uppskattning; sannolikhetsbaserad lokalisering; autonoma fordon; Scania; OpenStreetMap;

    Abstract : Vehicles losing their GPS signal is a considerable issue for autonomous vehicles and can be a danger to people in their vicinity. To circumvent this issue, a particle filter localization technique using pre-generated offline Open Street Map (OSM) maps was investigated in a software simulation of Scania’s heavy-duty trucks.

  5. 14. Dynamic Modelling and Optimal Control of Autonomous Heavy-duty Vehicles

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

    Author : Kartik Seshadri Chari; [2020]
    Keywords : Autonomous driving; Dynamic bicycle model; Magic Formula; Model matching; MPC; Clothoids; Autonom körning; Fordonsmodell; Modellanpassning; MPC; Klothoider;

    Abstract : Autonomous vehicles have gained much importance over the last decade owing to their promising capabilities like improvement in overall traffic flow, reduction in pollution and elimination of human errors. However, when it comes to long-distance transportation or working in complex isolated environments like mines, various factors such as safety, fuel efficiency, transportation cost, robustness, and accuracy become very critical.

  6. 15. Domain Adaptation of IMU sensors using Generative Adversarial Networks

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

    Author : Saieshwar Radhakrishnan; [2020]
    Keywords : Autonomous vehicles; sensors; internal dynamics; Inertial Measurement Unit; covalidation; Generative Adversarial Network; WaveNets; LSTM.; Autonoma fordon; sensorer; intern dynamik; tröghetsmätningsenhet; samvalidering; Generative Adversarial Network; WaveNets; LSTM.;

    Abstract : Autonomous vehicles rely on sensors for a clear understanding of the environment and in a heavy duty truck, the sensors are placed at multiple locations like the cabin, chassis and the trailer in order to increase the field of view and reduce the blind spot area. Usually, these sensors perform best when they are stationary relative to the ground, hence large and fast movements, which are quite common in a truck, may lead to performance reduction, erroneous data or in the worst case, a sensor failure.
