The scenario studied is a drive mission for a heavy diesel truck. With aid of an on board road
slope database in combination with a GPS unit, information about the road geometry ahead …

A fuel-optimal control algorithm is developed for a heavy diesel truck that utilizes information
about the road topography ahead of the vehicle when the route is known. A prediction model …

Look-ahead cruise controllers and other advanced driver assistance systems for heavy duty
vehicles require high precision digital topographic road maps. This paper presents a road …

This paper presents a control strategy for driving trucks on economically optimal speed
trajectories over a-priori known road slope profiles. By considering the trip income and costs …

The only thing that needs to be written in English, is a huge thanks to professor Hesham
Rakha. He gave me the opportunity to work on my PhD in the United States for five months. I …

Fuel accounts for more than 35% of transport costs in Swedish forestry, and reduced fuel
consumption would provide immediate economic and environmental benefits. The objective …

This paper deals with the problem of reducing fuel consumption and pollutant emissions of
Heavy Duty Vehicles (HDV). The overall objective of improving the efficiency of the HDV can …

Energy efficiency has become a major issue in trade, transportation and environment
protection. While the next generation of zero emission propulsion systems are still under …

Consequences of non-linearities in specific fuel consumption (SFC) of a heavy truck
combustion engine are studied with focus on such small road gradients that a constant …

Diese Arbeit stellt ein Fahrerassistenzsystem vor, welches einen Lkw wie ein geübter
Kraftfahrer vorausschauend fährt. Es nutzt die Informationen eines erweiterten …
