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

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.

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.

A diesel-electric powertrain can give capacity to heavy vehicles which by far exceeds that of vehicles with conventional combustion engines. Researchers at Linköping University study how to exploit the full potential of diesel-electric drivelines.

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.

The Volkswagen scandal has sped up the work to produce new legal requirements for emissions while driving under actual conditions. With the LiU researchers’ method, new reliable tests can be developed quickly and easily.

Fault diagnosis is about using observations, such as sensor signals, and a mathematical model of a technical system, to detect and diagnose abnormal system behavior.
