  1. 1. On Traffic Situation Predictions for Automated Driving of Long Vehicle Combinations

    Author : Peter Nilsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; braking; steering; heavy trucks; automated driving; long vehicle combination; active safety; vehicle dynamics; prediction; driver behaviour;

    Abstract : The introduction of longer vehicle combinations for road transports than are currently allowed is an important viable option for achieving the environmental goals on transported goods in Sweden and Europe by the year 2030. This thesis addresses how driver assistance functionality for high-speed manoeuvring can be designed and realized for prospective long vehicle combinations. READ MORE

  2. 2. Safety for Children in Cars – Focus on Three Point Seatbelts in Emergency Events

    Author : Isabelle Stockman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Steering; Crash test dummies; Run-off road; Child restraint systems; Child safety; Emergency events; Braking; Pre-pretensioners;

    Abstract : Child safety in vehicles has improved over time. One of the main factors is due to the increased restraint use by children. Nevertheless, studies show that although children are restrained, injuries still occur indicating that restraint systems have the potential for further improvement. READ MORE

  3. 3. Truck Steering System and Driver Interaction

    Author : Kristoffer K D Tagesson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; steering system; active safety; driver behaviour; active steering; torque feedback; heavy trucks;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a compilation of methods to consider when mapping steering functions and results as vehicle dimensions change. It is concluded that some final tuning inevitably will be required as major changes are performed. It is however possible to create qualified starting points using a set of simple rules as presented.

  4. 4. Driver-centred Motion Control of Heavy Trucks

    Author : Kristoffer K D Tagesson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Driver behaviour; active safety; torque feedback; heavy trucks; motion coordination; steering by braking; oncoming collision; electronic stability control; active steering;

    Abstract : Traffic accidents constitute one of the leading global causes of death. Deadly traffic accidents occur, even in countries that have implemented far-reaching countermeasures, at a rate that cannot be tolerated. Improved safety of heavy trucks is an important remedy, as these vehicles are involved in a large part of all fatal accidents. READ MORE

  5. 5. Modelling E-scooterist Braking and Steering for Collision Avoidance

    Author : Tianyou Li; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bicycles; Cycling safety; Active safety; Bicycle kinematics; E-scooters; Micromobility;

    Abstract : Introduction: In the last few years, new road safety issues have emerged with the growing popularity of novel micromobility vehicles (MMVs). The term ‘novel MMV’ includes, in addition to electrically assisted bicycles, electric kick scooters (e-scooters) and Segway balance scooters (Segways)—which are usually distinct in appearance and operation from traditional MMVs (conventional bicycles).
