2. 16. A Holistic Safety Benefit Assessment Framework for Heavy Goods Vehicles

   Author : Ron Schindler; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; heavy goods vehicle; Bayesian methods; Safety benefit assessment; crash data analysis; driver behaviour modelling;

   Abstract : In 2019, more than one million crashes occurred on European roads, resulting in almost 23,000 traffic fatalities. Although heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) were only involved in 4.4% of these crashes, their proportion in crashes with fatal outcomes was almost three times larger. READ MORE

4. 17. Safe Distributed Control Allocation for Articulated Heavy Vehicles

   Author : Umur Erdinc; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; control allocation; Heavy vehicles; jackknifing; electric vehicles; trailer swing; stability;

   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. 18. Fuel-Efficient Heavy-Duty Vehicle Platooning

   Author : Assad Alam; Karl H. Johansson; Roberto Horowitz; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Platooning; Heavy-Duty Vehicle; Optimal Control; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : The freight transport industry faces big challenges as the demand for transport and fuel prices are steadily increasing, whereas the environmental impact needs to be significantly reduced. Heavy-duty vehicle (HDV) platooning is a promising technology for a sustainable transportation system. READ MORE

6. 19. A Framework for Fatigue Analysis of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Structures

   Author : Sara Eliasson; Zuheir Barsoum; Per Wennhage; Kim Branner; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Heavy-duty vehicles; Fatigue; Carbon fiber reinforced polymer; Multi-scale modeling; Probabilistic modeling; Tunga fordon; Utmattning; Kolfiberkomposit; Probabilistisk modellering; Farkostteknik; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering;

   Abstract : Our society depends on functional road communication, and Heavy Duty Vehicles (HDVs) offer convenient and limitless possibilities of transport and services. However, HDVs account for a quarter of the European Union's CO2 road emissions. There is a substantial need to reduce the CO2 emissions of HDVs to ensure a low negative environmental impact.

7. 20. Evaluating vehicle stability support systems by measuring, analyzing, and modeling driver behavior

   Author : Gustav M Markkula; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; driver behavior; driver models; system evaluation; heavy trucks; driving simulators; active safety; electronic stability control;

   Abstract : This thesis presents an investigation of near-accident behavior of truck drivers, with and without support from an electronic stability control (ESC) system. A critical scenario, involving both collision avoidance and vehicle stabilization on a low-friction surface, was studied in a driving simulator. READ MORE
