  2. 16. Supporting complete vehicle reliability forecasts

    Author : Julia Lindén; Ulf Sellgren; Anders Söderberg; Fredrik Elgh; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Reliability forecast; interactive function; operating conditions; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : Reliability is one of the properties that customers of heavy trucks value highest.Dependent on all parts and functions of the vehicle, reliability is a complexproperty, which can normally be measured only towards the end of a developmentproject. At earlier development stages, forecasts can give valuable decision supportfor project planning. READ MORE

  4. 17. Distributed Road Grade Estimation for Heavy Duty Vehicles

    Author : Per Sahlholm; Karl Henrik Johansson; Emilio Frazzoli; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Automotive; estimation; distributed systems; automatic control; heavy duty vehicles; road grade; road maps; Automatic control; Reglerteknik;

    Abstract : An increasing need for goods and passenger transportation drives continued worldwide growth in traffic. As traffic increases environmental concerns, traffic safety, and cost efficiency become ever more important. Advancements in microelectronics open the possibility to address these issues through new advanced driver assistance systems. READ MORE

  5. 18. Coordination and Routing for Fuel-Efficient Heavy-Duty Vehicle Platoon Formation

    Author : Kuo-Yun Liang; Karl Henrik Johansson; Jonas Mårtensson; Paolo Falcone; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Heavy-duty vehicle (HDV) manufacturers and fleet owners are facing great challenges for a maintained sustainable transport system as the demand for road freight transport is continuously increasing. HDV platooning is one potential solution topartially mitigate the environmental impacts as well as to reduce the fuel consumption, improve safety, and increase the throughput on congested highways.

  6. 19. Valuation and pricing of traffic safety

    Author : Gunnar Lindberg; Lars Hultkrantz; Olof Johansson-Stenman; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Value of statistical life; Marginal cost pricing; External cost; Risk elasticity; Pricing policies; Traffic accidents; Railway accidents; Heavy goods vehicle accidents; Economics; Nationalekonomi; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of six essays covering the topic of valuation and pricing of accidents. In the first essay a theory of the external marginal cost of accidents is presented. The external cost is dependent on the value of statistical life, the proportion internal cost and the so called risk elasticity, i.e. READ MORE

  7. 20. Towards an Improved Safety Benefit Assessment for Heavy Trucks - Introduction of a framework for the combination of different data sources
