  1. 6. A Test Rig for Emulating Drive Cycles to Measure the Energy Consumption of HEVs

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

    Author : Meng Ba; [2019]
    Keywords : Roller-rigs; road simulator; fuel consumption; hybrid electric vehicle HEV .;

    Abstract : This master thesis project aims to complete and verify core functions of a test rig that is designed and built to emulate drive cycles for measuring the energy consumption of HEVs, especially a vehicle named ELBA from KTH Integrated Transport Research Lab (ITRL). To fulfill this goal, a simplified model is created for the test rig, whose involved parameters are identified through various experiments. READ MORE

  2. 7. Path Planning in Unstructured Environments : A Real-time Hybrid A* Implementation for Fast and Deterministic Path Generation for the KTH Research Concept Vehicle

    University essay from KTH/Fordonsdynamik; KTH/Integrated Transport Research Lab, ITRL

    Author : Karl Kurzer; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : On the way to fully autonomously driving vehicles a multitude of challenges have to be overcome. One common problem is the navigation of the vehicle from a start pose to a goal pose in an environment that does not provide any specic structure (no preferred ways of movement). READ MORE

  3. 8. An Investigation into the Optimal Control Methods in Over-actuated Vehicles : With focus on energy loss in electric vehicles

    University essay from KTH/Fordonsdynamik; KTH/Integrated Transport Research Lab, ITRL

    Author : Sriharsha Bhat; [2016]
    Keywords : Optimal control; over-actuated vehicles; Dynamic Programming; Model Predictive Control; active;

    Abstract : As vehicles become electrified and more intelligent in terms of sensing, actuation and processing; a number of interesting possibilities arise in controlling vehicle dynamics and driving behavior. Over-actuation with inwheel motors, all wheel steering and active camber is one such possibility, and can facilitate control combinations that push boundaries in energy consumption and safety.

  4. 9. Probabilistic Collision Estimation System for Autonomous Vehicles : Evaluated in Intersection Scenarios Using a Velocity Planning Controller

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

    Author : Alexander Gratner; Stefan Annell; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Nearly 1.3 million people die each year in traffic-related accidents, whereas an additional 20-50 million people are injured. Introducing autonomous vehicles into traffic would aim at reducing accidents and improving the transportation experience for humans. READ MORE

  5. 10. State-Estimator Design for the KTH Research Concept Vehicle

    University essay from KTH/Fordonsdynamik; KTH/Integrated Transport Research Lab, ITRL

    Author : Fan Gao; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Research Concept Vehicle (RCV) is a pure electric vehicle with four in-wheel motors and individual steering as well as camber actuators. It serves as an experimental research vehicle which is built by the Integrated Transport Research Lab (ITRL). The development of the RCV’s functionality never stops after the platform started running. READ MORE
