  2. 1. Automotive Climate Systems - Investigation of Current Energy Use and Future Energy Saving Measures

    Author : Filip Nielsen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; simulation and modeling; HVAC; energy efficiency; testing; thermal management; passenger compartment; automotive; Air conditioning; energy consumption; fuel consumption;

    Abstract : Automotive climate systems use energy to achieve thermal comfort for the vehicle passengers. This energy use affects vehicle fuel consumption. The objectives of this thesis are to understand the energy use of automotive climate systems and investigate the effect of different energy saving measures.The research was conducted in several steps.

  4. 2. Structural Safety Design for Real-World Situations - Using Computer Aided Engineering for Robust Passenger Car Crashworthiness

    Author : Linus Wågström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; structural adaptivity; passive safety; small overlap crashes; crash compatibility; frontal crashes; structural robustness; crash simulation;

    Abstract : Road traffic continues to cause more than a million fatalities worldwide every year. Although many steps have been taken to improve occupant protection in car crashes, challenges still remain for car designers. READ MORE

  5. 3. Computational interaction models for automated vehicles and cyclists

    Author : Ali Mohammadi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; automated vehicles; vulnerable road users; computational models; driver models; active safety systems; cyclists’ interaction;

    Abstract : Cyclists’ safety is crucial for a sustainable transport system. Cyclists are considered vulnerable road users because they are not protected by a physical compartment around them. In recent years, passenger car occupants’ share of fatalities has been decreasing, but that of cyclists has actually increased. READ MORE

  6. 4. Modelling the vibrations on a rolling tyre and their relation to exterior and interior noise

    Author : Patrik Sabiniarz; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : For most modern cars at normal driving speeds, tyre/road interaction is a major source tothe exterior as well as interior vehicle noise. The interaction between a tyre and a roadsurface generates tyre structure vibrations, leading to sound radiation into the surroundingair, and to dynamic forces acting on the wheel hub. READ MORE

  7. 5. Snowmobile, motorcycle and moose-car accidents : aspects on injury control

    Author : Ulf Björnstig; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Injury; accident; prevention; snowmobile; motorcycle; moose-car collision;

    Abstract : Injuries related to snowmobiles, motorcycles and moose-car collisions have increased. The aim of the present thesis was to analyse mechanisms and consequences in fatal and non-fatal accidents of these types, and to penetrate possible preventive measures.SnowmobilesThe median age of the injured was 30 and of the killed 32, males pre­dominating.
