The research in Vehicular Systems has a clear focus on control, diagnosis, and supervision of functions in vehicles.

Drönare förändrar hur vi utforskar, övervakar och samverkar – i luften, på land och under vattenytan. Forskningen inom drönare och drönarsvärmar är ett tvärvetenskapligt och snabbt växande område.

Autonomous cars and automated transport has the potential to increase efficiency and safety. Our research aims at methods for realizing resiliant and robust automation of vehicles under significant uncertainties in sensing and surrounding vehicles.

In this research project, led by ¸£Àû¼§, we are investigating how different stakeholders can collaborate to enable large-scale electrification of freight transport in Sweden.

Electrifying hydraulics on, for example, an excavator can significantly improve efficiency. However, it requires major technical changes. Electric machines have different characteristics compared to combustion engines.

The project adopts a systems perspective on electrified freight transport with the aim of contributing to knowledge on how to accelerate transitions.

LiU has the largest university laboratory for fluid power systems in Sweden. We aim to develop smarter and more energy efficient hydraulic systems, components and methods to reduce energy losses.

If you shop for ecological food, you’re also better prepared to drive an electric hybrid car in the best possible way. But being trained in ecodriving could almost be a disadvantage, as researchers from LiU and VTI show in a study.

One million electric cars could be charged by households at night with the electric installations that exist today, as shown by calculations carried out by researchers from LiU and VTI. But a broad investment in charging infrastructure is needed.

Emissions from the transport sector can be drastically reduced with more streamlined trucks. Researchers have calculated, and road carrier owner Erik Alfredsson has built an initial version of the transport vehicle of the future.
