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.
