The effect of road crossfall on road wear caused by heavy vehicles

Author: Steenkamp, Anton J ; Berman, Robert B ; Kemp, Lana ; De Saxe, Christopher C Date: Jul 2019 The paved road network is a critical asset to any economy. South Africa has a paved road network that has an estimated value in excess of R2 trillion. This asset is however under threat as there was a backlog in maintenance of more than R197 ... Read more
Estimation of trailer off-tracking using visual odometry

Author: De Saxe, Christopher C ; Cebon, D Date: Jun 2018 High-capacity vehicles have been shown to be highly effective in reducing emissions associated with road freight transport. However, the reduced manoeuvrability of long vehicles often necessitates the use of active trailer steering. Path-following ... Read more
GeoTrack: An efficient simulation tool for the analysis of heavy vehicle manoeuvrability

Author: De Saxe, Christopher C ; Berman, Robert J Date: Jul 2018 The road space utilised by a heavy goods vehicle during low-speed manoeuvring has direct safety and operational implications. This is especially true for vehicles which are longer/wider than usual, such as abnormal loads vehicles. The same ... Read more
Heavy vehicle safety performance

Author: Deiss, J ; Kienhöfer, F ; Nordengen, Paul A ; De Saxe, Christopher C ; Berman, Robert J ; Steenkamp, Anton J Date: Oct 2018 Significant benefits have been realised in South Africa from adopting the PBS framework in the form of reduced fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, road wear, trips and crashes. Three representative baseline PBS vehicles were developed (a quad-axle ... Read more
HVTT15: FALCON III: Defining a performance-based standards framework for high capacity vehicles in Europe

Author: De Saxe, Christopher C ; Kural, K ; Kharrazi, S ; Schmidt, F ; Van Geem, C ; Berman, R ; Woodrooffe, J ; Cebon, D Date: Oct 2018 The FALCON project (“Freight and Logistics in a Multimodal Context”) is a collaborative effort funded by the Conference of European Directors of Roads (CEDR), and has set out to address ambitious carbon emission reduction targets set by the ...

Measurement of articulation angle by image template matching

Author: De Saxe, Christopher C ; Cebon, DC Date: Mar 2019 Articulated heavy goods vehicles and long combination vehicles offer improved efficiency and emissions but reduced low-speed manoeuvrability and high-speed stability compared to rigid lorries. Active control systems can help to address these ... Read more
Naturalistic driving studies in support of road safety research in South Africa

Author: Venter, Karien ; Muronga, Khangwelo ; Sallie, Ismail M ; De Franca, Volanda MP ; Kemp, Mauritz J ; Botha, Rika ; De Saxe, Christopher C ; Berman, Robert J ; Binda, Phindile L ; De Beer, E ; Sinclair, M Date: Jul 2019 Internationally, evidence-based research informs the actions and interventions that are successfully implemented in developed countries, aiming for a zero fatality rate. South African progress to reduce the number of fatal road crashes remains ... Read more
An overview of the performance-based standards pilot project in South Africa

Author: Nordengen, Paul A ; Berman, Robert J ; De Saxe, Christopher C ; Diess, J Date: Oct 2018 The Performance-Based Standards or “Smart Truck” pilot project is a national research initiative that is trialling the introduction of high productivity road freight transport in South Africa. This initiative is being led by stakeholders from ... Read more
Vision-based trailer pose estimation for articulated vehicles

Author: De Saxe, Christopher C Date: Sep 2018 Articulated Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) are more efficient than conventional rigid lorries, but exhibit reduced low-speed manoeuvrability and high-speed stability. Technologies such as autonomous reversing and path-following trailer steering ... Read more
