Integration and Management of Performance and Road Efficiency of Electric Vehicle Electronics (IMPROVE)
Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2016,
Electric Vehicles (EV) are subject of many R&D projects aimed at improving their components and overall physical (structural) architecture. In addition, several research projects exist that seek to innovate the overall control system that 'orchestrates' the way all these components perform together in passenger EV.IMPROVE focuses on in-vehicle ICT innovations for commercial (fleet operated) vehicl ...

Damage risk assessment, economic impact and mitigation strategies for sustainable preservation of cultural heritage in the times of climate change (CLIMATE FOR CULTURE)
Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2014,
Climate change is one of the most critical global challenges of our time which also threatens cultural heritage. As a non-renewable important resource to the European identity, sustainable adaptation strategies are required for long term preservation. For this purpose and for the first time ever, the CLIMATE FOR CULTURE project will couple completely new high resolution (10x10km) climate change ev ...

POWERtrain for FUture Light-duty vehicles (POWERFUL)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2014,
"The Project aims to develop new powertrain concepts able to give a substantial contribution to the achievement of a 50% CO2 reduction (based on 2005 figures) for passenger cars and light-duty vehicles for the new vehicle fleet in 2020. In particular, the research target on spark ignited (SI) engines powered vehicles is to achieve 40% lower CO2 emissions with respect to the 2005 values and 20% low ...

Large-Eddy and System Simulation to predict Cyclic Combustion Variability in gasoline engines (LESSCCV)
Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,
"The objective of LESSCCV is to exploit the recent possibilities of engine computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools to fundamentally improve the understanding of cyclic combustion variability (CCV) in gasoline engines under real operating conditions, and to provide adequate modelling. Multi-scale CFD tools, able to study in detail the sources of CCV in full engines, will be developed. These tools ...
