  1. 1. Distributed Road Grade Estimation for Heavy Duty Vehicles

    Författare :Per Sahlholm; Karl Henrik Johansson; Emilio Frazzoli; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Automotive; estimation; distributed systems; automatic control; heavy duty vehicles; road grade; road maps; Automatic control; Reglerteknik;

    Sammanfattning : An increasing need for goods and passenger transportation drives continued worldwide growth in traffic. As traffic increases environmental concerns, traffic safety, and cost efficiency become ever more important. Advancements in microelectronics open the possibility to address these issues through new advanced driver assistance systems. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Iterative Road Grade Estimation for Heavy Duty Vehicle Control

    Författare :Per Sahlholm; Karl Henrik Johansson; Jonas Sjöberg; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; road grade; estimation; heavy duty vehicle; Kalman filter; automatic control; Automatic control; Reglerteknik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents a new method for iterative road grade estimation based on sensors that are commonplace in modern heavy duty vehicles. Estimates from multiple passes of the same road segment are merged together to form a road grade map, that is improved each time the vehicle revisits an already traveled route. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Fuel-efficient driving strategies

    Författare :Sina Torabi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; speed profile optimization; fuel efficiency; neural networks.; energy efficiency; genetic algorithms; performance analysis; road grade estimation; mass estimation; vehicle platooning;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with fuel-efficient driving strategies for vehicles driving on roads with varying topography, as well as estimation of road grade and vehicle mass for vehicles utilizing such strategies. A framework referred to as speed profile optimization (SPO), is introduced for reducing the fuel or energy consumption of single vehicles (equipped with either combustion or electric engines) and platoons of several vehicles.

  5. 4. Runtime Monitoring for Safe Automated Driving Systems

    Författare :Ayhan Mehmed; Sasikumar Punnekkat; Michael Paulitsch; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Computer Science; datavetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Mass-produced passenger vehicles are one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century that significantly changed human lives. Several safety measures such as traffic signs, traffic lights, mandatory driver education, seat belts, airbags, and anti-lock braking systems were introduced throughout the years. LÄS MER

  7. 5. A methodology for operations-based safety appraisal of two-lane rural highways : Application in Uganda

    Författare :Godfrey Mwesige; Harilaos Koutsopoulos; Basil Psarianos; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :passing zones; passing rate; collision risk; accepted gap; time-to-collision; passing sight distance; two-lane rural highways; Uganda; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Sammanfattning : The majority of the road infrastructure in developing countries consists oftwo-lane highways with one lane in each travel direction. Operational efficiency of these highways is derived fromintermittent passing zones where fast vehicles are permitted by design to pass slow vehicles using the opposite traffic lane. LÄS MER
