Important results from the project
The aim of the project has been to develop control strategies for predictive speed and powertrain control for driving in dynamic environments, such as driving heavy vehicles near cities or in mines. More specifically, these strategies should be implemented in a truck and evaluated when driving on the road. An important goal has been to show that at least half of the theoretical savings can be achieved by implementation and evaluation in trucks. This has been achieved with flying colors, as the experiments showed a saving of 16% compared to the theoretically estimated 18%
Expected long term effects
At program level, Scania´s competence has been strengthened with the industrial doctoral student who has been educated and examined. The project makes a significant contribution to strengthening the collaboration between KTH and Scania in an important research area. The project has led to 5 scientific articles, as well as a doctoral degree. It has also led to the transfer of knowledge and technology between academia and industry.
Approach and implementation
The project has mainly been carried out by an industrial PhD student. This has been a very successful way of combining knowledge of products and services with academic research.
