  1. 11. 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.

  3. 12. 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

  4. 13. Trajectory Planning for Autonomous Vehicles and Cooperative Driving

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektro- och systemteknik (EES)

    Author : Benjamin Nordell; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Autonomous vehicles have been the subject of intense research, resulting in many of the latest cars being at least partly self driving. Cooperative driving extends this to a group of vehicles called a platoon, relying on com-munication between the vehicles in order to increase safety and improve the ˛ow of tra°c. READ MORE

  5. 14. Design and implementation of control and actuation for an over-actuated research vehicle

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

    Author : Petter Tomner; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : AbstractThe RCV is a four wheel drive and steer electrical vehicle developed and built by the Transport Lab at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. It is fully steer-by-wire and each wheel can be individually controlled, both with regard to steering angle, as well as camber and driving torque. READ MORE

  6. 15. Design and implementation of a fault tolerant vehicle controller - an active steering approach

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

    Author : Stefanos Kokogias; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : KTH has developed a novel Research Concept Vehicle (RCV) based on the concept of "autonomous corner modules". An autonomous corner module is basically a wheel with a built-in electric hub motor, and additional actuators to tilt and yaw the wheel. One module is attached at each of the four corners of a 'skateboard' chassis. READ MORE
