Modular Heavy Duty Vehicle Modelling and User Interface Development

Heavy-Duty Vehicle Platooning – Modeling and Analysis

Coupled with the growth of world economy, the demand of freight transport has escalated and will continue to do so. As the traffic intensity increases, the pressure on infrastructure, energy usage and environment becomes higher than ever. Meanwhile, the number of traffic accidents is also increasing year by year as a result. Heavy-duty vehicle (HDV) platooning makes a group of HDVs driving clos...

Driveline torque observer for heavy duty vehicle

In addition to fuel consumption and efficiency the expectations in driving comfort of heavy duty vehicles were substantially increased in the last years. The driveline has an essential role in drivability performance of the vehicle. Since it determines the driving efficiency as well, simple, but robust devices were quite widespread in production, but these can usually make driving more difficul...

Heavy-duty Vehicle Rollover Detection and Active Roll Control

The safety of road vehicles depends on the yaw-roll dynamics. A loss of roll stability results in a rollover accident. Mechanisms to warn against rollover threat and a rollover avoidance control methodology are crucial in designing a successful active safety warning/control system for heavy-duty commercial vehicles. A dynamic rollover metric, Time-To-Rollover (TTR), has become popular in rollov...

Design and analysis of a thermoelectric generator for a heavy-duty vehicle in ‎real road test

Heavy duty vehicles have a great share on fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gases in the world, while they waste two third of chemical energy of fuel. On the other hand, simplicity and long life of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are considered more and more to convert thermal energy to electrical one. In this paper a TEG designed in the exhaust system of Renault Midlum 195 Dxi Engine. Th...
