2. 1. Mechanistic-Empirical Modelling of Flexible Pavement Performance : Verifications Using APT Measurements

   Author : Abubeker W. Ahmed; Sigurdur Erlingsson; Hervè Di Benedetto; Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Performance; Deformation; Model not math ; Rutting wheel ; Viscoelasticity; Elasticity; Axle load; Flexible pavement; Laboratory not an organization ; Test; Thesis; Heavy vehicle simulator; Wheel tracking test; 32 Road: Pavement design; 32 Road: Pavement design; Transportvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

   Abstract : Mechanistic-Empirical  (M-E)  pavement  design  procedures  are  composed  of  a  reliable  response model to estimate the state of stress in the pavement and distress models in order to predict the different types of pavement distresses due to the prevailing traffic and environmental conditions. One of the main objectives of this study was to develop a response model based on multilayer elastic  theory   (MLET)  with  improved  computational  performance  by   optimizing  the   time consuming parts of the MLET processes.

4. 2. An Automotive Lane Guidance System

   Author : Andreas Eidehall; Fredrik Gustafsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Active safety; Collision avoidance; Lane guidance; State estimation; Target tracking; Kalman filter; Centralized filtering; Threat assessment; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : Automotive lane guidance systems, usually referred to as Lane Keeping Aid or Lane Keeping System, are designed to prevent or warn the driver of lane departure. They typically use a buzzer to alert the driver or a steering wheel torque to actually steer the vehicle back into the center of the lane. READ MORE

5. 3. Influence of aggregates on permanent deformation of asphalt

   Author : Bernardita Francisca Lira Miranda; Robert Lundström; Stefan Larsson; Alan Carter; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Asphalt; deformation; rutting; gradation; flakiness index; Asfalt; kornstorleksfördelning; flisighetsindex; permanent deformation; spårbildning.; Jord- och bergmekanik; Soil and Rock Mechanics;

   Abstract : One of the most common failure modes for asphalt pavements is the occurrence of permanent deformation on the wheel path. This leads to not only other distresses, such as potholes and stripping, but also decreases substantially road safety and increases maintenance costs. READ MORE

6. 4. Techniques and Algorithms for Autonomous Vehicles in Forest Environment

   Author : Ola Ringdahl; Thomas Hellström; Jürgen Burstler; Hans Gripentrog; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Autonomous navigation; Robotics; Obstacle avoidance; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

   Abstract : This thesis describes an ongoing project of which the purpose is designing and developing techniques and algorithms for autonomous off-road vehicles. The focus is on some of the components necessary to accomplish autonomous navigation, which involves sensing and moving safely along a user-defined path in a dynamic forest environment. READ MORE

7. 5. Exploring force allocation control of over actuated vehicles

   Author : Johannes Edrén; Annika Stensson Trigell; Jenny Jerrelind; Lars Drugge; Jonas Fredriksson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : As the concern for environmental changes and diminishing oil resources grows more and more, the trend of new vehicle concepts now includes full electric or partly electric propulsion systems. The introduction of electric power sources enables more advanced motion control systems due to electrification of the vehicle's actuators, such as individual wheel steering and in wheel hub motors.
