Cambridge Vehicle Dynamics Consortium

 

MELBOURNE, Australia

The results of CVDC-funded and other affiliated work was presented in
March at the 11th Heavy Vehicle Transport Technology (HVTT) symposium
in Melbourne, Victoria. Professor David Cebon and Will Goodrum presented results
from work on the actively-steered B-double project, advanced pneumatics
for heavy-vehicle braking, improving the energy efficiency of heavy
vehicles, and a new method of modelling traffic for pavement damage
calculations, to a cross-disciplinary audience of international experts.
The theme of HVTT 11 was "balancing competing needs"; a task well
understood and highlighted by the breadth of work and expertise of the
members of the CVDC. Of primary concern for all attendees at HVTT 11
was seeing greater community engagement, environmental stewardship, and
technological innovation by the heavy vehicle sector in the future.
HVTT 11 was held in the State Library of Victoria
from 14-16 March and was attended by 150 representatives from heavy
vehicle companies, road transport authorities, and academia from around
the world.
