Optimal Vehicle Control for Fuel Efficiency

TL;DRAbstract

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">CONVENIENT is a project where prediction and integrated control are applied on several subsystems with electrified actuators.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">The technologies developed in this project are applied to a long-haul tractor and semi-trailer combination. A Volvo truck meeting the Eu6 emission standard is rebuilt with a number of controllable electrified actuators. An e-Horizon system collects information about future road topography and speed limits. Controllable aerodynamic wind deflectors reduce the wind drag. The tractor is also equipped with a full digital cluster for human machine interface development.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">A primary project goal is to develop a model-based optimal controller that uses predictive information from the e-Horizon system in order to minimize fuel consumption. Several energy buffers are controlled in an integrated and optima
