Concluding summary
Important results from the project
- TRUST-SOS successfully achieved its main objectives by developing a modular simulation environment featuring dynamic vehicle models and enabling digitalized services for construction machinery.
Expected long term effects
- By integrating dynamic models with simulation and optimization of customer site operations, the project facilitated a transition from the existing experience-based processes to a model-based approach. This shift has long-term effects by delivering enhanced customer value through innovative services and reliable decision-support tools. These will increase the Swedish off-road transport industry´s global competitiveness.
Approach and implementation
- The project was carried out in close collaboration between researchers at MDU and BTH and staff from Volvo CE and NCC. Throughout the project, weekly or bi-weekly project meetings were held to discuss key issues. These meetings were complemented by 8 full-day workshops and a two-day on-site meeting at two of NCC´s sites. No major adjustments to the plan were needed.
Final report:
BTH publications from the project
Original description
In the project we are developing digitalized services to increase the level of trusted decision making to optimise overall site systems in off-road transport applications. By developing data-driven models for real-time simulation and optimisation of customer site operations, combined with advanced data analytics, we move from the current experience-based process to a model-based process that will enable us to deliver customer value in terms of services and trusted decision support. Developed models will be tested in a realistic testbed for a final demonstration.
The project will deliver in the short – and medium term in the form of services and models for product-service applications but later also a complete simulation tool. A demonstration will be planned in a limited area with fixed boundary conditions as a first demo case to prove the methodology. The project will also enable the recruitment and examination of two licentiate theses and provide new knowledge in the areas of site and vehicle modeling and optimization of the vehicle fleet. High-quality essays in journals and conferences will be published.
