  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. 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)

    Author : Martin Larsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Contraction Hierarchies; Customizable Contraction Hierarchies; Vehicle Routing Problem; Battery Electric Vehicles; Mixed Fleet; Kontraktionshierarkier; Anpassningsbara Kontraktionshierarkier; Ruttplanering; Batteridrivna elfordon; Blandad fordonsflotta;

    Abstract : As the transport industry shifts towards Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) the need for accurate route planning rises. BEVs have reduced range compared to traditional fuel based vehicles, and the range can vary greatly depending on ambient conditions and vehicle load. READ MORE

  4. 3. Route Planning of Battery Electric Heavy-Duty Commercial Vehicles : Using Contraction Hierarchies and Mixed Integer Programming

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Datalogi

    Author : Olle Delborg; Elias Insulander; [2023]
    Keywords : route planning; route optimization; contraction hierarchies; mixed integer programming; vehicle routing problem; electric trucks; electric vehicles; battery; openstreetmap; shortest path; Dijkstra;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses route planning of Battery Electric Heavy-Duty Commercial Vehicles to enhance the reliability of electric vehicle transport. Collaborating with Scania, a Swedish truck manufacturing company, the goal is to develop a pipeline that uses open source data from OpenStreetMap and performs a modified Contraction Hierarchy in order to create a graph that can be used as input to a modified Vehicle Routing Problem formulation using Mixed Integer Programming.

  5. 4. Characterization of NOx sensor performance under oscillating pressure conditions

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Álvaro López Méndez; [2023]
    Keywords : NOx sensors; engine – out heavy duty vehicle conditions; oscillating pressure; test rig testing; NOx-sensorer; motor – ut tunga fordonsförhållanden; oscillerande tryck; testriggtestning;

    Abstract : The NOx sensor is essential in the modern after-treatment system. Due to the introduction of regulations from the US, it is necessary to investigate how these sensors operate in conditions of pulsating pressures generated engine - out, after the turbocharger. READ MORE

  6. 5. Thermal Modelling of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Windings in Heavy-Duty Electric Vehicles

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fordonssystem

    Author : Ken Dahl; [2023]
    Keywords : PMSM; permanent magnet synchronous motor; synchronous motor; black-box modelling; black-box models; thermal modelling; lumped parameter thermal network; LPTN; electric machine; EM; EV; electric vehicle; winding;

    Abstract : A significant challenge with permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) is thermal management. Thermal stress can lead to irreversible damage to components, and to enable efficient cooling, a thermal model is needed. READ MORE
