  2. 1. Steering Based Lateral Performance Control of Long Heavy Vehicle Combinations

    Author : Sogol Kharrazi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Trailer Swing; Active Steering; Offtracking; Heavy Vehicle; Lateral Performance; Sine with Dwell; Accident Analysis; Longer Combination Vehicle; Rearward Amplification;

    Abstract : In this thesis the lateral performance of heavy vehicle combinations, specifically longer combination vehicles, is discussed. The use of longer combination vehicles is promoted by their positive impact on the traffic congestion problem, as well as their economic and environmental benefits due to reduced fuel consumption and emissions.

    Abstract : The electrification of trucks is now followed by the electrification of trailers. Additionally, the maximum allowed length of vehicle combinations has been increased in many countries to enhance efficiency. READ MORE

  5. 3. Parallel design optimization of multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles with active safety systems

    Author : Manjurul Islam; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Active safety systems; Active trailer steering; Multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles; High performance computing; Design optimization;

    Abstract : Multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles (MTAHVs) exhibit unstable motion modes at high speeds, including jack-knifing, trailer swing, and roll-over. These unstable motion modes may lead to fatal accidents. On the other hand, these vehicle combinations have poor maneuverability at low speeds. READ MORE
