2. 1. Developing Microscopic Traffic Simulation Models for the Transition Towards Automated Driving

   Author : Ivan Postigo; Clas Rydergren; Johan Olstam; Selpi Selpi; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Vehicles with different capabilities for automated driving will gradually be deployed in road transportation systems over the coming decades. Mixed traffic conditions may change the characteristics of the traffic flow dynamics. Microscopic traffic simulation is used for studying traffic flow dynamics in transportation systems. READ MORE

4. 2. Minimize Vortex Drag of a Passenger Car

   Author : Ture Jesper Marklund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Boundary layer; Bluff bodies; Vehicle aerodynamics; Wake flow; CFD;

   Abstract : The aerodynamic drag force is the single biggest resistance force for a passenger car toovercome at highway speeds. Since all driving resistance forces can be directly linked tofuel consumption this has become a significant priority in recent years. READ MORE

5. 3. 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. 4. Safety of Cooperative Automated Driving : Analysis and Optimization

   Author : Galina Sidorenko; Alexey Vinel; Johan Thunberg; Elisabeth Uhlemann; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; platooning; Cooperative Intelligent Transportation System C-ITS ; Vehicle-to-Vehicle V2V communication; emergency braking; road safety; ITS-G5; IEEE 802.11p; automated driving;

   Abstract : New cooperative intelligent transportation system (C-ITS) applications become enabled thanks to advances in communication technologies between vehicles(V2V) and with the infrastructure (V2I). Communicating vehicles share information with each other and cooperate, which results in improved safety, fuel economy, and traffic efficiency. READ MORE
