1. 1. Developing an Automated Drivability Index for Swedish Roadways

   University essay from KTH/Transportplanering

   Author : ANDREI DAVID RADU; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The masters thesis aims to determine a method to understand which road segments could pose safety risks or where Level 4 autonomous vehicles would operate poorly in the Swedish road context. This vehicle’s ability to operate adequately can be defined as ‘drivable’. READ MORE

3. 2. Wading Simulations of Complete Heavy-Duty Vehicles

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

   Author : Emma Samuelsson; Sofie Benzler; [2022]
   Keywords : CFD; Volume of Fluid; Wading; Heavy-Duty Vehicles; STAR-CCM ;

   Abstract : Wading is the phenomenon where a vehicle drives through water with a relatively deep water level. Sincea large portion of the vehicle is submerged in water it can affect the driveability and function of individualcomponents. READ MORE

4. 3. Implementation of a Model Predictive Controller in a Spark-Ignition Engine

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fordonssystem

   Author : Gustav Mann; Jakob Luedtke; [2021]
   Keywords : Model Predictive Control; SI engine; Variable Valve Timing; Throttle;

   Abstract : The propulsion of the spark-ignition engine has been investigated and developed during the past century to improve driveability, minimize fuel consumption and emissions, resulting in highly engineered and computerized powertrains. Well balanced engine maps containing coordinated set-points and model-based information sharing have solved the cross-coupling between different control loops. READ MORE

5. 4. Alternative Input Devices for Steer-by-Wire Systems

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fordonssystem

   Author : Viktor Alkelin; Casper Christiansen; [2020]
   Keywords : Steer-by-Wire;

   Abstract : With the recent push towards autonomous cars, a traditional steering wheel with its mechanical connection between the road and driver may soon be unnecessary. To facilitate interior design and lower production costs whilst still maintaining a manual alternative for maneuvering, an alternative steering input device relying on Steer-by-Wire technology is investigated.
