  4. 2. Integrated brake control : downhill driving strategies

    University dissertation from Chalmers University of Technology

    Author : Peter Lingman; Chalmers tekniska högskola.; Chalmers University of Technology.; [2005]
    Keywords : TEKNIKVETENSKAP; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP; TECHNOLOGY; Auxilary brakes; foundation brakes; downhill driving strategies; transport efficiency; retardation economy; brake heat fading; mass estimation; road slope estimation; cruise controller; component wear; heavy duty trucks;

    Abstract : In this thesis, downhill driving strategies that co–ordinate the different brake actuators in heavy duty vehicles have been developed. As a starting point, the vehicle features affected by the retardation system are investigated. READ MORE

  5. 3. Analyzing Logistic Requirements using a Systems Engineering Approach - an initial step towards innovative ship design

    University dissertation from Chalmers University of Technology

    Author : Ingar Malmgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola.; Chalmers University of Technology.; [2004]
    Keywords : TEKNIKVETENSKAP; TECHNOLOGY; systems engineering; logistic requirements; short sea shipping; transportation; intermodal transport chain; effectiveness; method development; performance parameters; innovation; ship design;

    Abstract : Transport by road is the most dominant mode of transportation in Europe today. An increased use of short sea shipping can balance the European transport system and contribute to a better environmental situation. Accordingly, The European Commission proposes a shift of transported volumes from road to rail and short sea shipping. READ MORE
