2. 1. Troubleshooting Trucks : Automated Planning and Diagnosis

   Author : Håkan Warnquist; Patrick Doherty; Jonas Kvarnström; Louise Travé-Massuyès; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; automated planning; diagnosis; troubleshooting; automotive systems; Bayesian networks; Markov decision-processes;

   Abstract : This thesis considers computer-assisted troubleshooting of heavy vehicles such as trucks and buses. In this setting, the person that is troubleshooting a vehicle problem is assisted by a computer that is capable of listing possible faults that can explain the problem and gives recommendations of which actions to take in order to solve the problem such that the expected cost of restoring the vehicle is low.

4. 2. Driver-centred Motion Control of Heavy Trucks

   Author : Kristoffer K D Tagesson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Driver behaviour; active safety; torque feedback; heavy trucks; motion coordination; steering by braking; oncoming collision; electronic stability control; active steering;

   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

5. 3. Driverless trucks in the Swedish freight transport system : An analysis of future impacts on the transport system and the emerging innovation system

   Author : Albin Engholm; Anna Pernestål; Ida Kristoffersson; Maria Oscott; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Driverless Trucks; Automated Driving; Total Cost of Ownership; Freight Transport Modeling; Innovation Systems; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

   Abstract : A large-scale introduction of driverless trucks could start taking place during the next decade. While this could bring several economic benefits for freight transport actors and society, it may also change the freight transport system and exacerbate the negative effects of road transport.

7. 5. Aerodynamic Investigation of Truck-Trailer Combinations

   Author : Helena Martini; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; aerodynamics; vehicle combinations; trucks; drag reduction;

   Abstract : In today’s society, increasing fuel prices and the constantly evolving emission legislation, forces the vehicle industry to develop new techniques for the propul- sion of vehicles, and optimization of existing technology. Trucks constitute a significant proportion of the transportation system, consequently it is of great importance to ensure as low an impact as possible on the environment. READ MORE
