Energy moderation of the road transportation sector is required to limit climate change and to preserve resources. This work is focused on the moderation of vehicle consumption by optimizing the speed policy along an itinerary while taking into accou...

Heavy vehicles exiting (or entering) a tunnel at high speed under a strong crosswind is a particularly critical condition since the aerodynamic load changes drastically, greatly affecting the lateral stability of the vehicle. Often, active control sy...

In the vehicle-following scenario of autonomous driving, the change of driving style in the front vehicle will directly affect the decision on the rear vehicle. In this paper, a strategy based on a probabilistic neural network (PNN) for front vehicle...

In this paper, we pay significant attention to the most vulnerable road users (i.e., people with disabilities) when interacting with cyclists. The special needs of these groups are studied by distributing an online questionnaire about their perceptio...

Only a small part of the high performance of electric drive systems in vehicles is used in everyday operation by customers. As a result, most drives are not operated in the optimum efficiency range. Designing a suitable drive system, whose performanc...

The forthcoming arrival of automated vehicles (AV) on the roads requires the re-evaluation or even adaptation of existing infrastructures as they are currently designed on the basis of human perception. Indeed, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADA...

Our paper introduces new reconstruction techniques of real-life critical road traffic accidents focusing on highly automated functions. The investigation method presented here focuses on the effect of relevant control parameters and environmental fac...

At present, the noise of pure electric vehicles is a research hotspot, especially the noise of automatic transmission. In order to reduce the noise problem in the test, this paper proposes a method to optimize the local structure of the gearbox housi...

Ground vibrations near railway lines are generated by the forces that are acting between wheel and rail. It seems to be a straight forward assumption that the vehicle dynamics are important for the level and the frequencies of the excitation forces....

There are levels of automation in autonomous driving, and each level requires different performances of wireless communication, such as quality, delay time, and throughput. Therefore, the vehicle is required to adaptively control the level of automat...
