By adapting gear changes and cruise control of a Heavy Duty Vehicle (HDV) to road inclination, fuel and time savings can be achieved. In this thesis is presented a novel method of predicting the upcoming road topography, by constructing a geographical and topographical self-learning map from which a route prediction is made. The system is designed to simultaneously produce the desired road grad...

Map generalization simplifies the details of map representation. Automatic generalization has been a hot research topic for decades, but there does not exist a set of universal rules or algorithms that explicitly defines how generalization should be performed. This paper presents a method to automatically generalize roads and buildings. With the proposed method, road generalization and building...

This paper discusses the logical space of alternative conceptual engineering projects, with a specific focus on (1) processes, (2) targets and goals, (3) methods such projects. We present an overview how these three aspects interact in contemporary literature discuss those projects that have yet to be explored based our suggested typology. show choices about each element project constrain possi...
