  1. 41. Sulfur tolerance of SCR catalysts : Development of a lab testing method

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Cornelia Lantto; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : NOx emissions from diesel vehicles are a currently well-discussed matter due to the related health and environmental issues. At the same time, diesel vehicles are an important part of transportation in society as diesel engines are more fuel efficient than gasoline engines. READ MORE

  3. 42. Model Predictive Control Using Neural Networks : a Study on Platooning without Intervehicular Communications

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Reglerteknik

    Author : Gustav Ling; Klas Lindsten; [2017]
    Keywords : MPC; platooning; neural networks; velocity profile estimation; gear shift dynamics; heavy duty vehicle; machine learning;

    Abstract : As the greenhouse effect is an imminent concern, motivation for the development of energy efficient systems has grown fast. Today heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) account for a growing part of the emissions from the vehicular transport sector. READ MORE

  4. 43. Preceding Vehicle Dynamics Modeling for Fuel Efficient Control Strategies

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

    Author : Pawel Kupsc; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Long haulage trucks are a key part of today’s goods trans-port networks. To reduce fuel costs and emissions from trucks, novel methods of regulating their speed optimally based on road slope data and other vehicles’ behavior are being developed. READ MORE

  5. 44. PILCs for trapping phosphorus in a heavy duty engine exhaust system : An experimental evaluation of the phosphorus sorption capability of different clay materials

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Strukturkemi

    Author : Anders Kvarned; [2016]
    Keywords : PILC; PCH; phosphorus sorption; exhaust treatment; catalyst poisoning;

    Abstract : In order to fulfil the requirements in the EURO VI standard, regulating emissions from heavy duty vehicles, the exhaust aftertreatment system needs to maintain its efficiency for at least seven years or 700 000 km. In diesel applications the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) is located closest to the engine and is thus the most vulnerable to poisoning contaminants, such as phosphorus originating from fuel and oil additives, which deactivates the catalyst.

  6. 45. Gamification as a tool to encourage eco-driving

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för programvaruteknik

    Author : Carl Rapp; [2016]
    Keywords : Gamification; eco-driving;

    Abstract : Context: In this work a system, the eco service, is developed that incorporates elements from gamification to help drivers adapt to a more energy-efficient driving style. An energy-efficient driving style can help reduce fuel consumption, increase traffic safety and help reduce the emissions made from vehicles. READ MORE
