1. 1. Heavy Vehicle Braking using Friction Estimation for Controller Optimization

   University essay from KTH/Fordonsdynamik

   Author : Dimitrios Kalakos; Bernhard Westerhof; [2017]
   Keywords : Heavy Vehicles; Emergency Braking; Friction Estimation; Controller Optimization; Vehicle Validation; Slip Control Braking; Vehicle Testing;

   Abstract : In this thesis project, brake performance of heavy vehicles is improved by the development of new wheel-based functions for a longitudinal slip control braking system using novel Fast Acting Braking Valves (FABVs). To achieve this goal, Volvo Trucks' vehicle dynamics model has been extended to incorporate the FABV system. READ MORE

3. 2. Automatic Headlight Levelling Using Inertial Sensors

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Reglerteknik

   Author : Philip Nilsson; [2017]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In order to use high power headlights on heavy duty vehicles, an automatic mechanism for adjusting the level of the headlights must be used. This is in order to avoid glare while still maintaining good visibility. For headlights exceeding 2000 lumen, this control must be done automatically. READ MORE

4. 3. Stability Analysis of Embankments Founded on Clay : a comparison between LEM & 2D/3D FEM

   University essay from KTH/Byggvetenskap

   Author : Zhaleh Habibnezhad; [2014]
   Keywords : Stability Analysis; Embankments; Clay; LEM; 2D 3D FEM;

   Abstract : Rapid constructed embankments founded on soft deposits have a negative influence on the short term stability. Many engineering constructions such as road and railway embankments are often constructed on soft clay deposits. READ MORE

5. 4. Road Slope Estimation Using a Longitudinal Accelerometer and Kalman Filtering

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

   Author : Tobias Bonnedahl; [2010]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Heavy-duty vehicles of today consist of much electronics and many sensors. One of these sensors is a longitudinal accelerometer. This Master's thesis investigates the possibilities to determine the road slope angle with a longitudinal accelerometer. READ MORE

6. 5. Overtake assistance

   University essay from Fordonssystem

   Author : Tomas Backlund; [2010]
   Keywords : Driver assistance; heavy vehicle; overtake; ADAS;

   Abstract : This thesis is about the development of a function that assists the driver of a heavy vehicle to do an estimation over the possibilities to overtake a preceding heavy vehicle. The function utilizes Look-Ahead and vehicle-to-vehicle communication to do a calculation of the distance between the vehicles in some road distance ahead. READ MORE
