  1. 1. Adaptive Cruise Control and Platooning With Tire Slip Awareness

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

    Author : Filip Henriksson; Gustaf Reimer; [2022]
    Keywords : Platooning; tire slip; car following; C-ACC; autonomous driving;

    Abstract : Platooning is a method where a chain of vehiclesdrive with small inter-vehicular distances. The many benefitsof autonomous platooning includes improved fuel economy,less congestion and safer transportation. To create a safe andfunctional platoon the operational software needs to be able tohandle various road surfaces without the risk of a crash. READ MORE

  6. 5. Arm Injury Prediction with THUMS SAFER: Improvements of the THUMS SAFER upper extremity

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära; KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Mariam Bayat; Nichakarn Pongpairote; [2020]
    Keywords : Biomechanics; upper extremity; arm; validation; Total HUman Model for Saftey THUMS ; Finite Element Modelling FEM ; Biomekanik; övre extremitet; arm; validering; Total HUman Model for Saftey THUMS ; Finite Element Modellering FEM ;

    Abstract : Globally, approximately 1.2 million people die each year due to traffic accidents. Upper extremity injuries account for 18% to 25% of all car accident injuries. In order to be able to analyze these crash-related injuries, Human body models(HBMs) are used as a complement to FE simulations. READ MORE
