  1. 16. Formula Student Car Stability

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Oliver Belfiore; [2023]
    Keywords : Racing; Car; Vehicle; dynamics; vehicle dynamics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the impact of varying passive components on the stability of a Formula Student race car. The study was conducted using a 7-post model and a lateral model, both of which were derived using Lagrangian methods and state-space modelling techniques. These models were then validated and adjusted using logged data. READ MORE

  3. 17. Improving Water Droplet Prediction for Vehicle Exterior Water Management: Insights from Experimental and Simulation Studies

    University essay from KTH/Väg- och spårfordon samt konceptuell fordonsdesign

    Author : Anton Labbé; Mahim Ahsan; [2023]
    Keywords : Computational Fluid Dynamics; Volume of Fluid; Kistler Correlation; Water Droplet; Wind Tunnel Measurement; Exterior Water Management.; Beräkningsfluidmekanik; Volume of Fluid; Kistler-korrelation; Vattendroppar; Vind Tunnel Experiment; Exteriört Vattenhantering.;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the study of water transportation on vehicle surfaces, which is crucial for ensuring the unobstructed operation of sensors and cameras in autonomous vehicles. The research aims to develop and validate experimental and simulation methods to enhance the understanding of water droplet behaviour and to create accurate models for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.

  4. 18. Parameter study for an energy efficient suspension for a rail vehicle prototype

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Ludvig Danström; [2023]
    Keywords : Delsbo electric; Energy efficiency; Rail vehicle; Suspension system; Delsbo electric; energieffektivitet; fjärder- och dämparsystem; spårfordon;

    Abstract : The push for sustainability in all parts of our society has never been as big as it is currently. One project that aims to produce sustainable innovation in the railway industry is the Delsbo Electric competition where some of the world’s most energy efficient vehicles compete. READ MORE

  5. 19. Improving the guidance, navigation and control design of the KNATTE platform

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Lars Lundström; [2023]
    Keywords : Multisensor Data Fusion; Nonlinear Kalman Filter; Neural Network;

    Abstract : For complex satellite missions that rely on agile and high-precision manoeuvres, the low-friction aspect of the space environment is a critical component in understanding the attitude control dynamics of the spacecraft. The Kinesthetic Node and Autonomous Table-Top Emulator (KNATTE) is a three-degree-of-freedom frictionless vehicle that serves as the foundation of a multipurpose platform for real-time spacecraft hardware-in-the-loop experiments, and allows emulation of these conditions in two dimensions with the purpose of validating various guidance, navigation, and control algorithms.

  6. 20. Research and Analysis of Suspension Dynamics of an Autonomous Bidirectional Road Vehicle

    University essay from KTH/Väg- och spårfordon samt konceptuell fordonsdesign

    Author : Isabelle Gürsac; Tsimafei Klimantovich; [2023]
    Keywords : Bidirectional vehicle; 4WS; 4WD; suspension angles; kingpin inclination; camber angle; caster angle; toe angle; relative importance; suspension setup; suspension system; drivetrain; efficiency.; Dubbelriktat fordon; fyrhjulsstyrning; fyrhjulsdrift; hjulvinklar; Kingpin-lutningsvinkel; cambervinkel; castervinkel; toevinkel; relativ betydelse; fjädringsinställning; hjulupphängningssystem; drivlina; effektivitet.;

    Abstract : The bidirectionality of road vehicles is a novel research area, which is directly connected with autonomy, efficiency, flexibility and sustainability of transportation. The research in this area is mostly performed with stringent restrictions in corporate secrecy. This fact makes the area publicly unexplored, moreover highly future oriented. READ MORE
