  2. 1. Aspects of Waiting and Contracting in Game Theory

    Author : Peter Helgesson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Game Theory; War of Attrition; ESS; N-Player; Principal-Agent Problem; Stochastic Maximum Principle; Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle; Mean- Variance; Time Inconsistent Utility Functions; Game Theory;

    Abstract : The topic of this thesis concerns two selected problem in game theory; the Nplayer War of Attrition and the Principal-Agent problem. The War of Attrition is a well established game theoretic model that was first introduced in the 2-player case by John Maynard Smith. READ MORE

  4. 2. Optimal Speed and Powertrain Control of a Heavy-Duty Vehicle in Urban Driving

    Author : Manne Held; Jonas Mårtensson; Jonas Fredriksson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Autonomous vehicles; model predictive control; optimal control; heavy-duty vehicles; trucks; powertrain control; fuel; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : A major challenge in the transportation industry is how to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. One way of achieving this in vehicles is to drive more fuel-efficiently. READ MORE

  5. 3. Fuel-Efficient Look-Ahead Control for Heavy-Duty Vehicles with Varying Velocity Demands

    Author : Manne Held; Jonas Mårtensson; Oscar Flärdh; Ardalan Vahidi; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; look-ahead control; optimal control; powertrain control; advanced driver assistance systems; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : The fuel consumption of heavy-duty vehicles can be reduced by using information about the upcoming road section when controlling the vehicles. Most manufacturers of heavy-duty vehicles today offer such look-ahead controllers for highway driving, where the information consists of the road grade and the velocity only has small variations.

  6. 4. Design of Optimal Control Processes for Closed-Loop Chain SCARA-Like Robots

    Author : Mathias R Lidberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; unpowered actuator.; SCARA-robot; closed-loop chain; manipulator;

    Abstract : The design of optimal control processes for closed-loop chain SCARA-like robots is the subject of this thesis. In comparison with the well-known SCARA robot, the proposed new structure is characterized by the incorporation of an additional powered actuator, several unpoweredactuators and an additional link that gives a closed-loop chain robot.

  7. 5. Optimal Predictive Control of Wheel Loader Transmissions

    Author : Tomas Nilsson; Jan Åslund; Lars Nielsen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The transmissions of present heavy wheel loaders are in general based on torque converters. The characteristics of this component suits these machines, especially in that it enables thrust from zero vehicle speed without risk of stalling the engine, without active control. READ MORE
