Recent Developments in Electric Vehicles for Passenger Car Transport
Electric vehicles are considered as technology which can significantly reduce the problems related to road transport such as increasing GHG emissions, air pollutions and energy import dependency. The core objective of this paper is to analyze the current energetic, ecological and economic characteristics of different types of electric vehicles. The major conclusions of this analysis are: The hi...
متن کاملThe consequences of an increase in heavy goods vehicles for passenger car drivers' mental workload and behaviour: a simulator study.
The effects of an increase in Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) on merging behaviour and on mental workload of motorists during filtering in and out of traffic were studied. Participants drove in a driving simulator in a total of 12 conditions; twice in each of two weather conditions and in three traffic conditions. The weather conditions were clear weather and foggy weather. The traffic conditions w...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Traffic Flow Modelling with the Lwr Model Using Passenger-car Equivalents
SUMMARY This paper presents an extension of Lighthill, Whitham and Richards' dynamic traffic flow model (LWR) to a number of vehicle classes. Each class will be described by a separate fundamental diagram. When the various diagrams are similar in shape a scaling can be carried out that is related to the passenger-car equivalents. We present both an analytical framework and a numerical computati...
متن کاملComparative Analyses of Three Types of Headway Control Systems for Heavy Commercial Vehicles
This paper compares design approaches for achieving a headway control functionality for trucks and buses. The approaches considered are fuzzy logic [1], H∞ [2], and a strategy based on headway range and its derivative (range-rate) [3]. For heavy vehicles, the control unit has a number of nonlinearities to compensate for, including full accelerator saturation, engine characteristics, and a limit...
متن کاملVariable Time Headway for String Stability of Automated Heavy-Duty Vehicles
We present adaptive nonlinear schemes for longitudinal control of automated heavy duty vehicles. An important control objective is string stability, which ensures that errors decrease as they propagate downstream through the platoon. It is well known that string stability requires intervehicle communication if a constant spacing policy is adopted. When vehicles operate autonomously, string stab...
