Abstract: The objective of this proposed study is to investigate, create and evaluate novel safety functions, using the electric propulsion system. This project focuses on events where the driver is in control, as opposed to autonomous driving. The scope of the project is to study performance enhancements regarding vehicle stability, manoeuvrability, braking and traction at different road conditions.
The project will study electric/hybrid vehicles for SEVS1 vehicle types and scenarios. The following deliverables will be produced: Quantified vehicle dynamics requirements for 2020 to 2030. New and enhanced safety functions. Quantified safety improvements. Quantified trade-offs between achieved safety improvements and other attributes, such as transport efficiency and energy consumption.
The project consists of four phases, starting with definition of future vehicle requirements, selection and development of safety functions and ending with validation of the developed functions using theoretical methods and simulation. Abstract: The major driver for electrification of vehicles is the potential for fossil-fuel free transportation, leading to increased usage of electric propulsion. Electric motors offers new opportunities regarding the controlability of the driveline and it opens up for radically new driveline and vehicle layouts. An electric driveline does not only propel the vehicle or recouperate brake energy. The electrification also enables development of new functions, such with potential to enhance traffic safety.
