  2. 1. Road user charging for heavy goods vehicles - Implementation aspects

    Author : Eva Schelin; Peter Värbrand; Clas Rydergren; Lena Trojer; Eric Sampson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : road user charging; heavy goods vehicles; distance based; marginal cost principle; implementation model; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Several factors have influenced the recent development in charging of heavy goods vehicles in Europe. European legislation is changed and the political will is strong in many countries. The public awareness and acceptance is large for the need to put a price and a cost on the use of infrastructure.

  5. 3. Improving emergency braking performance of heavy vehicles

    Author : Leon Henderson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; heavy vehicles; pneumatic brake actuator; ABS; pneumatic braking system; Slip control braking; HGV; vehicle testing; tyre dynamics;

    Abstract : Previous studies by the Cambridge Vehicle Dynamics Consortium (CVDC) have suggested that, by improving the control bandwidth of conventional Heavy Goods Vehicle(HGV) brake actuators and using a ‘slip control’ braking strategy, HGV stopping distances could be reduced by up to 30% over existing systems. The work covered in this thesis looks to: validate the CVDC’s previous braking performance predictions through Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) simulation, investigate how in-plane tyre dynamics may influence such a system’s performance, develop and build a next generation high-bandwidth braking system for vehicle implementation and carry out comparative back-to-back vehicle tests between the new system and commercially available HGV ABS.

    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Front Underrun Protection; simulation; Heavy Goods Vehicles; compatibility assessment; FUPD; Front Underrun Protective Device; energy absorption; crash compatibility; HGV; structural interaction; FUP;

    Abstract : While frontal collisions between Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) and passenger cars are rarecompared to car-to-car frontal crashes, they are much more severe. Between 43% and 73% ofall frontal car-to-truck accidents result in fatalities. READ MORE

  7. 5. A Holistic Safety Benefit Assessment Framework for Heavy Goods Vehicles

    Author : Ron Schindler; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; heavy goods vehicle; Bayesian methods; Safety benefit assessment; crash data analysis; driver behaviour modelling;

    Abstract : In 2019, more than one million crashes occurred on European roads, resulting in almost 23,000 traffic fatalities. Although heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) were only involved in 4.4% of these crashes, their proportion in crashes with fatal outcomes was almost three times larger. READ MORE
