Application of Multivariable Control Theory to Improve Steering and Propulsion Control of a Containership
… of a varying wake fraction. A new minimum mean fuel rate performance index is derived, but little improvement in propulsion economy is achieved compared to minimum-added-resistance steering control, as the steering induced losses constitute over 95 percent of the increased mean fuel rate. …

Evaluation study for an ammonia-fed and solid-oxide fuel cell powered trailing suction hopper dredger for Van Oord Offshore Contractors
… many Zero-Emission technologies and clean fuels have been studied. United Nations’ International Maritime Organization has set the goal to reduce the industry’s emissions by 50% in 2050. To meet this goal every new-build ship should be emission free as of 2030. In partnership with Van Oord …

Understanding and quantifying motor vehicle emissions with vehicle specific power and TILDAS remote sensing
… such as speed, acceleration, power, or fuel rate. Using SP as the basic metric allows meaningful comparisons to be made between data from different remote sensing sites, dynamometer driving cycles, and emission models. Modem U.S. vehicles are likely to operate under commanded enrichment …

Applications of almost periodic functions and equivalent nonlinearities to identification and control of nonlinear systems
… is composed of two linear transfer functions separated by a nonlinearity. Experimental results are included to show the accuracy of the techniques developed. In Chapter 4 the application of high frequency signals (dither) as a technique to be used in the identification of certain open and pl,osed …

Influence of accelerator pedal force feedback on truck drivers' speed control
… on the road transport industry to reduce the fuel consumption and harmful exhaust emissions of Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs). Vehicle manufacturers and operators alike are having to investigate and find new ways of making reductions. It is thought that improving driver behaviour offers …
