  2. 1. Energy Efficient Longitudinal Control

    Author : Rickard Arvidsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Autonomous Vehicles; Optimal Control; Hybrid drivetrain control; Combustion Engines;

    Abstract : Vehicles are contributing to global and local environmental problems as a result of fossil fuels. A majority of the combustion engine population is driven by fossil fuels and electrified vehicles are also to a large extent dependent on electricity production from fossil fuels. READ MORE

  4. 2. Predictive control for autonomous driving : With experimental evaluation on a heavy-duty construction truck

    Author : Pedro Lima; Bo Wahlberg; Jonas Mårtensson; Alberto Bemporad; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Autonomous vehicles; model predictive control; automatic control; heavy-duty vehicles; mining; trucks; clothoids; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Autonomous vehicles is a rapidly expanding field, and promise to play an important role in society. In more isolated environments, vehicle automation can bring significant efficiency and production benefits and it eliminates repetitive jobs that can lead to inattention and accidents. READ MORE

  5. 3. Fuel-efficient and safe heavy-duty vehicle platooning through look-ahead control

    Author : Valerio Turri; Karl H. Johansson; Nathan van de Wouw; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; platooning; eco-driving; look-ahead control; dynamic programming; distributed model predictive control; optimal control; autonomous vehicles; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : The operation of groups of heavy-duty vehicles at small inter-vehicular distances, known as platoons, lowers the overall aerodynamic drag and, therefore, reduces fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Experimental tests conducted on a flat road and without traffic have shown that platooning has the potential to reduce the fuel consumption up to 10%. READ MORE

  6. 4. Efficient Simulation and Optimal Control for Vehicle Propulsion

    Author : Anders Fröberg; Lars Nielsen; Karl-Henrik Johansson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Automatic control; Reglerteknik;

    Abstract : Efficient drive cycle simulation of longitudinal vehicle propulsion models is an important aid for design and analysis of power trains. Tools on the market today mainly use two different methods for such simulations, forward dynamic or quasi-static inverse simulation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Psychological factors and metabolic control in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus

    Author : Ulf Stenström; Institutionen för psykologi; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus; social support; gender; age; long-term complications; metabolic control; quality of life; well-being; insulin-pen treatment; coping; life events; locus of control beliefs; longitudinal; Applied and experimental psychology; Tillämpad och experimentell psykologi;

    Abstract : This doctoral thesis consists of six studies concerning persons with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). The first two deal with relationships between life events, social support and metabolic control (HbA1C) over a two year period. For the female subjects, results obtained for this period were inconsistent. READ MORE
