  2. 1. Methods to quantify and qualify truck driver performance

    Author : Iulian Carpatorea; Slawomir Nowaczyk; Thorsteinn Rögnvaldsson; Wahde Mattias; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Driver performance; heavy-duty vehicle; fuel economy; fuel consumption; fuel prediction; truck driver;

    Abstract : Fuel consumption is a major economical component of vehicles, particularly for heavy-duty vehicles. It is dependent on many factors, such as driver and environment, and control over some factors is present, e.g. route, and we can try to optimize others, e. READ MORE

  4. 2. Truck tyre rolling resistance : Experimental testing and constitutive modelling of tyres

    Author : Jukka Hyttinen; Lars Drugge; Jenny Jerrelind; James Busfield; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Truck tyre; PRF; filler reinforced rubber; ambient temperature; rubber testing; parametrisation; Finite-element simulation; Lastbildäck; PRF; gummi; förstärkande fyllmedel; effekt av omgivningstemperatur; gummiprovning; parametrisering; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : Global warming sets a high demand to reduce the CO2 emissions of vehicles. In the European Union heavy-duty road transports account for 6 % of the total greenhouse gases and one of the main factors affecting these emissions is related to the rolling resistance of tyres. READ MORE

  5. 3. Vehicular Communication in Obstructed and Non Line-of-Sight Scenarios

    Author : Dimitrios Vlastaras; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communications; Channel Modeling; Vehicular Communication; Truck Obstruction; Channel Emulation; Radar; 802.11p; Car; Truck; Accident Avoidance; V2V; V2I; C2C; V2X;

    Abstract : Since the invention of the first car available to masses, the 1908 Ford Model T, technology has advanced towards making car travel safer for occupants and bystanders. In recent years, wireless communication has been introduced in the vehicular industry as a means to avoid accidents and save lives. READ MORE

  6. 4. Optimal Truck Scheduling : Mathematical Modeling and Solution by the Column Generation Principle

    Author : Myrna Palmgren; Torbjörn Larsson; Niklas Kohl; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; optimisation; pickup and delivery problem; transportation; scheduling; column generation; integer programming; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK;

    Abstract : We consider the daily transportation problem in forestry which arises when transporting logs from forest sites to customers such as sawmills and pulp and paper mills. Each customer requires a specific amount of a certain assortment, and the deliveries to the customers can be made within time intervals, known as time windows. READ MORE

  7. 5. Optimization of truck tyres selection

    Abstract : This thesis, which consists of an introduction and five appended papers, concerns the optimal selection of tyres for a variety of vehicle configurations as well as operating environments. The selection problem stems from a project cooperation between Chalmers University of Technology and Volvo Group Trucks Technology. READ MORE
