At equatorial latitudes, ionospheric scintillation is the major limitation in achieving high-accuracy GNSS positioning. This is because scintillation affects the tracking ability of GNSS receivers causing losses of lock and...
This paper presents two torque estimation methods for vehicle engines: unknown input observer (UIO) and adaptive parameter estimation.We first propose a novel yet simple unknown input observer based on the crankshaft rotation...
The paper describes a completely new approach to fully variable valve actuation (FVVA), which allows almost unlimited continuously variable control of intake and exhaust valve opening and closing events, and duration without...
Structural protection against the effects of a nearby explosive detonation is an area of growing importance. Spray-on elastomer coatings are of interest as a practical and low cost protective solution. Recent research has...
The ‘lazy economy’ gives rise to an emerging business mode, called personal shopper platforms (PSPs). A customer who needs some goods urgently can release an order on a PSP, which is then assigned by the platform to a...
The development and validation of detailed simulation models of in-cylinder combustion, emission formation mechanisms and reaction kinetics in the exhaust system are of crucial importance for the design of future low-emission...
Practical, cost-effective strategies are of interest for the protection of vulnerable infrastructure against dynamic load events such as blast and fragment impact. Recent research has established that spray-on elastomer...
Recently, there has been automotive-industry-wide impetus to reduce the overall diesel vehicle emissions and the fuel consumption by increasing the fuel injection pressure within common-rail systems. Many production fuel...
The interest in using drones in various applications has grown significantly in recent years. The reasons are related to the continuous advances in technology, especially the advent of fast microprocessors, which support...
The development and validation of detailed simulation models of in-cylinder combustion, emission formation mechanisms and reaction kinetics in the exhaust system are of crucial importance for the design of future low-emission...
With the further tightening of emission regulations and the introduction of real driving emission tests (RDE), the simulative prediction of emissions is becoming increasingly important for the development of future...

The drone delivery problem (DDP) has been introduced to include aerial vehicles in last-mile delivery operations to increase efficiency. However, the existing studies have not incorporated the communication quality...
Reducing emissions from light duty vehicles is critical to meet current and future air quality targets. With more focus on real world emissions from light-duty vehicles, the interactions between engine and exhaust gas...
The work presented here seeks to compare different means of providing scavenging systems for an automotive 2-stroke engine. It follows on from previous work solely investigating uniflow scavenging systems, and aims to provide...
Research is a key factor for a successful reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transport. This article summarizes the main results of REACT, a project cofinanced by the European Commission, which aimed to develop...
