1. 11. Exploration of steering feel

   University essay from KTH/Fordonsdynamik

   Author : Vladimir Chevatco; [2015]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In this thesis, the concept of steering feel, as experienced by the driver, is explored. First a literature review is conducted to highlight previous work on this topic. From this review, the Norman on-centre test and steering wheel torque are identified as important concepts, and are chosen to form the base of this thesis. READ MORE

3. 12. Rolling resistance during cornering - Impact of lateral forces for heavy-duty vehicles

   University essay from KTH/Optimeringslära och systemteori

   Author : Helena Olofson; [2015]
   Keywords : Bicycle model; lateral forces; rolling resistance; velocity optimization; Cykelmodell; sidokrafter; rullmotstånd; hastighetsoptimering; bränsleförbrukning;

   Abstract : We consider first the single-track bicycle model and state relations between the tires’ lateral forces and the turning radius. From the tire model, a relation between the lateral forces and slip angles is obtained. The extra rolling resistance forces from cornering are by linear approximation obtained as a function of the slip angles. READ MORE

4. 13. Driver-truck models for software-in-the-loop simulations

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fordonssystem; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska högskolan

   Author : Oskar Daniels; [2014]
   Keywords : vehicle models; driver models; trucks; platooning;

   Abstract : By using vehicle-to-vehicle communication, vehicles can cooperate in many waysby sending positions and other relevant data between each other. One popularexample is platooning where many, especially heavy vehicles, drive on a trailwith short distances resulting in a reduction of air resistance. READ MORE

5. 14. Crosswind assessment of trains on different ground configurations

   University essay from KTH/Järnvägsteknik

   Author : Nachiyappan Venkatasalam; [2013]
   Keywords : Crosswind; ICE3; true flat ground TFG ; single track ballast and rail STBR ; atmospheric boundary layer ABL ; AeroTRAIN; CFD.;

   Abstract : Cross wind analysis is one of the important safety measures for rail vehicle certification. The objective of this study is to identify which vehicle certification ground setup, true flat ground (TFG) or single track ballast and rail (STBR) represents a more realistic ground setup with atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) wind inlet and also to represent an embankment scenario.

6. 15. Vehicle Dynamics Testing in Advanced DrivingSimulators Using a Single Track Model

   University essay from Fordonssystem; Tekniska högskolan

   Author : Jonas Thellman; [2012]
   Keywords : vehicle simulator; single track model; vehicle dynamics; magic formula; relaxation length; double lane change;

   Abstract : The purpose of this work is to investigate if simple vehicle models are realisticand useful in simulator environment. These simple models have been parametrisedby the Department of Electrical Engineering at Linköping University and havebeen validated with good results. READ MORE
