Cooperative look-ahead control for fuel-efficient and safe heavy-duty vehicle platooning [PDF]
The operation of groups of heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) at a small inter-vehicular distance (known as platoon) allows to lower the overall aerodynamic drag and, therefore, to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

Decisions Under Radical Uncertainty: The Role of Volitional Liminality in Radical Innovation
ABSTRACT Academic Summary Radical innovation management can be understood as an organizational practice that enacts distant futures, which are open‐ended and unknowable. Such radical innovation endeavors are thus characterized by radical uncertainty, where possible futures are not only quantitatively but qualitatively different from the present, and ...

ABSTRACT For over two decades, firms have built platforms and engaged open innovation communities to improve and customize their products through widened participation in the design process. While the benefits of involving those outside a firm as co‐designers have been well described, how co‐design processes unfold over time at the boundary between ...

Nanolignin Functional Separators for Flexible Lithium–Sulfur Batteries With Enhanced Performance
Nanolignin‐functionalized separators, incorporating lignin nanoparticles into a crosslinked PEGDA coating applied on commercial separators, reduce polysulfide shuttling, thereby enhancing cycling performance in flexible lithium–sulfur pouch cells, while also improving thermo‐oxidative stability and flame retardancy.

Stochastic Optimization of Non‐Convex Component Solution Spaces
ABSTRACT In systems engineering, solution spaces provide a practical way to reconcile competing goals by working with sets of good designs instead of point‐based solutions. Earlier contributions, however, were restricted either by limiting the dimensionality per component or, more recently, by constraining these spaces to be convex, which can, in some ...
