PhD student – Analysis of high-capacity vehicles performance
5 days ago
We are now looking for an additional employee for the Vehicle System and Driving Simulation unit, FSK. The unit conducts outstanding research in vehicle systems, vehicle technology and simulation. Applications exist in all modes of transport and are often aimed at technology development in electrification, autonomy, digitalisation and the transition to a sustainable transport system. Much of the activities take place in collaboration with other units and external parties, often linked to behavioural science issues or research related to environmental and energy issues. The unit develops and operates some of VTI's important research equipment; advanced driving simulators, VR/XR labs and equipment to measure road and tire interaction. We develop most of the software for this equipment ourselves, which makes up a large part of our work. The unit has about 20 employees and is located in Linköping, Gothenburg and Lund.
The position is located in Linköping.
About the role
The research project focuses on the performance of High Capacity Transport (HCT) vehicles and aspects that should be considered for automation of these vehicles. It has been shown that HCT vehicles are one of the key contributors to reduction of fuel consumption and emissions of goods transport. Automation of these vehicles should be studied to meet the future transport demands and further enhance their effectiveness and safety. Examples of relevant research topics in the project are collecting and analyzing data from HCT vehicles driving in real traffic under different conditions, identifying critical scenarios, developing scenario-based test methods for automated HCT vehicles, and driving behavior modelling for autonomous functions.
As a doctoral student, you will be enrolled at the Division of Vehicular Systems at the Department of Electrical Engineering at Linköping University (LiU). Your doctoral education includes several elements, such as completing doctoral courses and conducting high-quality applied research under supervision from VTI and LiU. The work includes planning research projects, collecting and analysing data and developing new models and methods. The work also includes writing research articles and presenting research results at scientific conferences.
About you
We are looking for a candidate who has a MSc degree in automotive engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering or similar. You are interested in vehicle dynamics and control, data analysis, model development and simulation, are analytical and open to new challenges.
You will have many contacts with internal and external partners, researchers and collaboration with other doctoral students. Therefore, we place great emphasis on your ability to collaborate, communicate, take your own initiative and work independently. You express yourself well in English, both verbally and written. It is also a merit if you know Swedish. We attach great importance to your personal qualities.
Appointment period
As a doctoral student, you will be employed at VTI at the same time as you are admitted to the doctoral programme at the Division of Vehicular Systems at the Department of Electrical Engineering at Linköping University. The employment is limited to four years full-time. You will initially be employed for one year, after which the employment will be renewed for a maximum of one year at a time, based on the completed study plan.
