   Sammanfattning : Several aspects make today’s transport system non-sustainable: • Production, transport and combustion of fossil fuels lead to global and local environmental problems. • Oil dependency in the transport sector may lead to economical and political instability. LÄS MER

3. 2. Aerodynamics of vehicle platooning

   Författare :Johannes Törnell; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; close proximity; drag; platooning; cab over engine; aerodynamics; yaw; wake; side wind; truck; inter-vehicle distance; lateral offset;

   Sammanfattning : Many factors are pushing automotive manufacturers to increase the efficiency of their fleets; some of these are legislative (requiring reduced greenhouse gas emissions) as well as ensuring sufficient range and power consumption in electric vehicles. An important part of improving the energy efficiency of road vehicles is reducing their aerodynamic drag. LÄS MER

4. 3. Predictive Control of Hybrid Electric Vehicles on Prescribed Routes

   Författare :Lars Johannesson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy Management; Powertrain Control; Predictive Control; Dynamic Programming; Vehicle Telematics; Hybrid Electric Vehicle; Hybrid Electric Powertrains;

   Sammanfattning : At the highest level in the powertrain control system in a hybrid electric vehicle an energy management controller interprets the driver’s pedal actions as a torque that is to be delivered at the powertrain output. The energy management controller distributes this torque between the engine and the electric machines and decides when to change gear and when to turn off the engine for pure electric propulsion.

5. 4. Large-Eddy Simulation for Computing the Flow Around Vehicles

   Författare :Sinisa Krajnovic; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LES; Subgrid scale model; Bus; SGS model; Car; Vehicle; Large eddy simulation;

   Sammanfattning : The feasibility of the use of large-eddy simulation (LES) in external vehicle aerodynamics is investigated. The computational requirement for LES of the full size car at road conditions is beyond the capability of computers in the near future. Since LES cannot be used for quantitative prediction of this flow, i.e. LÄS MER

7. 5. Assessment of crosswind performance of buses

   Författare :Magnus Juhlin; Annika Stensson Trigell; Carsten Proppe; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; crosswind; buses; steering feel; directional stability; subjective; objective; aerodynamic load; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Sammanfattning : When driving a vehicle on the road, the driver has to compensate continuously for small directional deviations from the desired course due to disturbances such as crosswinds, road irregularities and unintended driver inputs. These types of deviations have a tiring effect on the driver and should therefore be minimised. LÄS MER
