  2. 11. Vehicle-Pavement Interaction

    Author : Parisa Khavassefat; Björn Birgisson; Denis Jelagin; David Cebon; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Finite element; Viscoelasticity; Moving load; Dynamic axle loads; Road roughness; Flexible pavement; Stochastic;

    Abstract : Several aspects of vehicle-pavement interaction have been studied and discussed in this thesis. Initially the pavement response is studied through a quasi-static and a dynamic computationally efficient framework under moving traffic loads. READ MORE

  4. 12. Novel powertrain topologies for energy-efficient battery electric vehicles

    Author : Yu Xu; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; System simulation; Battery electric vehicle; Electric powertrain; Powertrain topologies; Vehicle performance; Energy efficiency;

    Abstract : The global transition towards sustainable transportation has underscored the importance of battery electric vehicles (BEVs), with a growing need for enhancement in powertrain energy efficiency to mitigate range anxiety and promote widespread adoption. In response to this need, there have been significant contributions from advancements on powertrain components, such as electric motors and inverters, towards increased energy efficiency. READ MORE

  5. 13. Efficient hull design for ice conditions in inland waterways

    Author : Meng Zhang; Karl Garme; Magnus Burman; Pentti Kujala; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Inland waterway ship; ice conditions; ice properties; ice-hull interaction; ice resistance; impact load; numerical method; operation time window; lightweight design; composites and sandwich structure; Farkostteknik; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering;

    Abstract : With increasing interest in utilizing the inland waterways (IWW) in European countries, the design of IWW vessels gains attention both from a transport efficiency and an emission control point of view. Usually, IWW ships are designed without ice operation concerns and are structurally weaker than ships designed according to ice-class notifications from the classification societies. READ MORE

  6. 14. Efficient commuter craft for urban waterborne public transportation

    Author : Harsha Cheemakurthy; Karl Garme; Joakim Kalantari; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; waterborne public transportation; commuter ferry; modular design; operational requirements; ranking method; sustainable performance; ice operations; ice-hull Interaction; ice load; ice properties; kollektivtrafik på vatten; modulärt färjekoncept; modulär design; rankningsmetod; hållbarhetsparametrar; isbelastning; isförhållanden; isegenskaper; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : There has been a recent surge in interest in waterborne public transportation (WPT). Publictransport providers (PTP) are seeing its potential in complementing the existing transportnetwork and alleviating urban traffic congestion and pollution. But the adoption of WPTtoday is challenging due to a series of technical and implementation challenges. READ MORE

  7. 15. Evaluation of Adapted Passenger Cars for Drivers with Physical Disabilities

    Author : Björn Peters; Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Disabled person; Driver; Car; Adaptation; Equipment; Vehicle handling; Simulator; Adaptive cruise control; Driving aptitude; Thesis; 911 Road: Components of the vehicle; 911 Road: Components of the vehicle; 841 Road: Road user behaviour; 841 Road: Road user behaviour; 84 Road: Road users; 84 Road: Road users;

    Abstract : Driving can provide independent and efficient mobility. However, according to the driving license directive (91/439/EEC) are persons with locomotor impairments are only allowed drive if their disabilities can be compensated. Compensation can be realised by vehicle adaptations. READ MORE
