1. Traffic Situation Management for Driving Automation of Articulated Heavy Road Transports - From driver behaviour towards highway autopilot
Abstract : In this thesis traffic situation management for driving automation of long combination vehicles is discussed. The automation targets high-speed driving in multiple-lane, one-way roads. Traffic situation predictions, traffic situation manoeuvres and driving principles are studied specifically. READ MORE

2. On Traffic Situation Predictions for Automated Driving of Long Vehicle Combinations
Abstract : The introduction of longer vehicle combinations for road transports than are currently allowed is an important viable option for achieving the environmental goals on transported goods in Sweden and Europe by the year 2030. This thesis addresses how driver assistance functionality for high-speed manoeuvring can be designed and realized for prospective long vehicle combinations. READ MORE

3. Driver-centred Motion Control of Heavy Trucks
Abstract : Traffic accidents constitute one of the leading global causes of death. Deadly traffic accidents occur, even in countries that have implemented far-reaching countermeasures, at a rate that cannot be tolerated. Improved safety of heavy trucks is an important remedy, as these vehicles are involved in a large part of all fatal accidents. READ MORE

4. Evaluating vehicle stability support systems by measuring, analyzing, and modeling driver behavior
Abstract : This thesis presents an investigation of near-accident behavior of truck drivers, with and without support from an electronic stability control (ESC) system. A critical scenario, involving both collision avoidance and vehicle stabilization on a low-friction surface, was studied in a driving simulator. READ MORE

5. Characterisation and Utilisation of Steering Feel in Heavy Trucks
Abstract : Steering is next to braking the most important control feature of a road vehicle. The driver gives input through the steering wheel and the vehicle reacts in a certain way, which results in a transfer function between input and output. READ MORE
