  1. 1. Prototype for automotive roll over safety system

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Ilias Tevetzidis; [2020]
    Keywords : semi-trailer; roll; control system; control theory; body roll; body; dynamics; truck; trailer; ABS;

    Abstract : This thesis presents the theory, methodology and results of building, tuning and testing a prototype for controlling body roll movement. Body roll is a result of lateral acceleration that acts on a vehicle when turning and result in torque on the roll center of the vehicle. READ MORE

  3. 2. State Estimation for Truck and Trailer Systems using Deep Learning

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Reglerteknik

    Author : Daniel Arnström; [2018]
    Keywords : state estimation; observer; deep learning; neural network; convolutional neural network; EKF; truck; trailer; semi-trailer;

    Abstract : High precision control of a truck and trailer system requires accurate and robust state estimation of the system. This thesis work explores the possibility of estimating the states with high accuracy from sensors solely mounted on the truck. The sensors used are a LIDAR sensor, a rear-view camera and a RTK-GNSS receiver. READ MORE

  4. 3. A Weak Formulation of Constraints to Couple Rigid and Elastic Bodies - a Study with FEniCS

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Axel Södersten; [2018]
    Keywords : Flexible multibody dynamics; differential-algebraic equations; interconnecting rigid joints; Mathematics and Statistics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Many complex mechanical systems are simplified by considering them as multibody systems. In recent years, flexible multibody dynamics has become more and more in demand. READ MORE

  5. 4. Dolly with hinged drawbar

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Emil Olsson; Henrik Skönvall; [2018]
    Keywords : Hinged drawbar; Vehicle dynamics; Dolly; high capacity transport; coupling equipment; coupling forces; performance index;

    Abstract : Volvo trucks are involved in a project with vehicle combinations longer than 25.25 meters and/or with a weight of more than 64 tons. Those combinations are called high capacity transport (HCT). Some of the vehicle combinations are now driven with exemptions for the coupling equipment. READ MORE

  6. 5. Predictive Control for Autonomous Articulated Vehicles

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Nils Andrén; Alicia Gil Martin; Kevin Hoogendijk; Lars Niklasson; Fanny Sandblom; Filip Slottner Seholm; [2017-08-10]
    Keywords : Automation; Automated Control; Path planning; Articulated vehicles; Autonomous vehicles; PID Controller;

    Abstract : Autonomous driving is a highly topical research area, where signi cant positive impacts on safety and environment can be made, especially in the trucking industry. The vehicles in this industry often consist of a tractor unit combined with a trailer. This project focuses on navigating a model semi-trailer truck through an urbanlike environment. READ MORE
