  1. 1. Truck Platoon Coordination in a Large-Scale Transportation System

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Guanyu Lin; Robin Ganguly; [2022]
    Keywords : Platoon coordination; model predictive control; hub-based transport system;

    Abstract : Truck platooning is a technology where trucks drive in a formation with each other with a small distance in between trucks in order to save fuel and reduce emissions. In this project,a distributed method for solving the optimal time problem for every truck in a hub-based transport system will be developed. READ MORE

  3. 2. Platoon Coordination of Electric Trucks at a Charging Station

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Elin Björklund; Ebba Lindstedt; [2022]
    Keywords : Platooning; Electric trucks; Truck coordination; E-platooning; Platoon matching; Integer linear programming;

    Abstract : Electric trucks and platooning technology are expected to be part of the transportation system in the near future. Therefore, it is important to develop platoon coordination strategies and study the potential of platooning for when trucks are electric. READ MORE

  4. 3. Enhancing User Experience while retrieving information via Dashboard

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Abstract : With rapid growth in technical and social sector, the amount of data produced and retrieved has grown exponentially. Hence, there is a dire need for a management information system (MIS) to manage and structure such data. READ MORE

  5. 4. Evaluating the Handling of New Assignments in a Global Truck Platooning System Using Large-Scale Simulations

    University essay from KTH/Reglerteknik

    Author : Erik Ihrén; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Truck transportation is a big part of goods transportation aroundthe world, with over 100,000 trucks per day in Sweden alone. By usingadaptive cruise control, trucks can drive very close together in aplatoon. Driving close together leads to a signicant reduction in airresistance, which in turn results in lower fuel consumption. READ MORE

  6. 5. Coordinated Heavy Truck Platoon Routing using Global and Locally Distributed Approaches

    University essay from KTH/Reglerteknik

    Author : Christoph Kammer; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Vehicle Platooning has emerged in recent years as a promising method to reducethe fuel consumption of heavy trucks in long-distance transportation. Platoon-ing lowers the fuel consumption by forming strings of vehicles driving very closebehind each other, thus reducing the air drag. READ MORE
