2. 1. Aerodynamics of two trucks driving in close-proximity

   Author : Johannes Törnell; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; drag; aerodynamics; cab over engine; inter-vehicle distance; lateral offset; side wind; truck; platooning; yaw; close proximity; wake;

   Abstract : There are several factors driving the development of vehicles with higher efficiency in society, chief among them are the emissions of greenhouse gases and their contribution to global warming. Therefore, there is a strong incentive to improve heavy-duty trucks' energy efficiency, supported by new legislation. READ MORE

4. 2. Aerodynamics of vehicle platooning

   Author : Johannes Törnell; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; close proximity; drag; platooning; cab over engine; aerodynamics; yaw; wake; side wind; truck; inter-vehicle distance; lateral offset;

   Abstract : Many factors are pushing automotive manufacturers to increase the efficiency of their fleets; some of these are legislative (requiring reduced greenhouse gas emissions) as well as ensuring sufficient range and power consumption in electric vehicles. An important part of improving the energy efficiency of road vehicles is reducing their aerodynamic drag. READ MORE

7. 5. Fuel-Efficient Centralized Coordination of Truck Platooning

   Author : Sebastian van de Hoef; Dimos V. Dimarogonas; Rudy Negenborn; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : The problem of how to coordinate a large fleet of trucks with given itinerary to enable fuel-efficient platooning is considered. Platooning is a promising technology that enables trucks to save significant amounts of fuel by driving close together and thus reducing air drag. READ MORE
