  2. 16. Model Based Optimization of a Complete Diesel Engine/SCR System

    Author : Claes Ericson; Förbränningsmotorer; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MPC; model based optimization; real time models; model based control; SCR; optimization; EGR;

    Abstract : Achieving upcoming emissions legislation (Euro VI) for heavy trucks is a serious challenge for the manufacturers. Apart from the increasingly strict limits on nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate emissions (PM), the limited amount of fossil fuels as well as alarming climate changes simultaneously drives the demand for low CO2 emissions.

  4. 17. Improving emergency braking performance of heavy vehicles

    Author : Leon Henderson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; heavy vehicles; pneumatic brake actuator; ABS; pneumatic braking system; Slip control braking; HGV; vehicle testing; tyre dynamics;

    Abstract : Previous studies by the Cambridge Vehicle Dynamics Consortium (CVDC) have suggested that, by improving the control bandwidth of conventional Heavy Goods Vehicle(HGV) brake actuators and using a ‘slip control’ braking strategy, HGV stopping distances could be reduced by up to 30% over existing systems. The work covered in this thesis looks to: validate the CVDC’s previous braking performance predictions through Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) simulation, investigate how in-plane tyre dynamics may influence such a system’s performance, develop and build a next generation high-bandwidth braking system for vehicle implementation and carry out comparative back-to-back vehicle tests between the new system and commercially available HGV ABS.

  5. 18. Control of Systems with Limited Capacity

    Author : Stefan Solyom; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; voltage collapse; power systems; anti-windup; piecewise linear systems; synthesis; ABS; PID control; LMI; Automation; robotics; control engineering; Automatiska system; robotteknik; reglerteknik;

    Abstract : Virtually all real life systems are such that they present some kind of limitation on one or many of its variables, physical quantities. These systems are designated in this thesis as systems with limited capacity. This work is treating control related problems of a subclass of such systems, where the limitation is a critical factor.

  6. 19. Simulation-Based Optimization of a Series Hydraulic Hybrid Vehicle

    Author : Katharina Baer; Petter Krus; Liselott Ericson; Seppo Tikkanen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Hybrid transmissions are characterized by their utilization of more than one form of energy storage. They have the potential to help reduce overall fuel consumption and vehicle emissions by providing the possibility of brake energy recuperation and prime mover operation management. READ MORE

  7. 20. A Vibro-Acoustic Study of Vehicle Suspension Systems : Experimental and Mathematical Component Approaches

    Author : Eskil Lindberg; Nils-Erik Hörlin; Peter Göransson; Henry Rice; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Acoustics; Vehicle suspension; Disc brake; Wheel rim Roughness noise; Interior tyre-road noise Component mode synthesis; Undeformed coupling interface;

    Abstract : The objective of the present work is to study the vehicle suspension as a vibro-acoustic system of high complexity, consisting of many sub-systems with fundamentally different acoustical properties. In a parallel numerical and experimental modelling effort, important contributions to the understanding of its behaviour have been achieved. READ MORE
