Intelligent , high-performance service brake module for heavy vehicles

Purpose and goal

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Potential to improve brake and vehicle dynamics performance using new technology for controlling compressed air brakes on heavy vehicles. At the same time, the goal is to better and easier integrate this type of technology together with advanced functions to meet future system requirements for self-driving vehicles.

Expected results and effects

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Based on a technology concept, hardware has been further developed for the valve function itself, but also electronics and software to meet improved wheel braking control as well as increased and more flexible communication towards the overall vehicle system. The result is substantially shorter braking distances and support and complement to other safety-critical systems (steering) for self-driving heavy vehicles.

Planned approach and implementation

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** A number of work packages have formed the basis of the project. 1. Development of valve concept. 2. Improved software control using new simulation models. 3. Two separate test platforms of demo vehicles for testing and validation of the development work. 4. Preparation of industrialization of the project. 5. Doctors degree
