Active Dolly Build‐Up

​Research Motivating Problem:

• Chalmers have no full‐scale experiment platform for long truck combinations with distributed actuation

Envisioned product/solution:

• Actuated dolly as an enabler for long HTCs

Research questions:

• How should actuator integration look for such experiment platform?
• Sizing, packaging, signal interface, etc

Deliverables:

• One active dolly experiment platform & Demonstration
• 1 VehDyn PostDoc
• (Synergies with build‐up of Chalmers’ Research Vehicle Resource )

• Manjurul Islam

  Postdoctoral Researcher

  Manjurul works in the two projects "Performance Based Standards for High Capacity Transports in Sweden" and "Active Dolly Build-Up of Long Combination Vehicles"
