Jenny Jerrelind

Jenny Jerrelind is an Associate Professor in Vehicle Dynamics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, specializing in the Department of Vehicle Engineering and Technical Acoustics. Her research focuses on vehicle dynamics, including rolling resistance, tyre wear, motion cueing for driving simulators, torque vectoring, and motion sickness mitigation in autonomous vehicles. She employs mathematical modeling, simulation, control systems, and experimental evaluation in her work. At KTH, she teaches courses such as Ground Vehicle Dynamics, Vehicle Components, and Vehicle System Technology, and supervises PhD students.

Her research interests span cutting-edge areas like energy-efficient vehicle control, tyre performance optimization, and human-centric vehicle design. Key projects include developing thermodynamic models for tyre rolling resistance, exploring suspension systems to reduce wear, and enhancing motion cueing in driving simulators. She collaborates with the Centre for ECO2 Vehicle Design and KTH Transport Platform to advance sustainable and efficient vehicle technologies.

Publications highlight her contributions to topics like transient rolling resistance, tyre temperature effects, and autonomous vehicle trajectory planning. While no scientific awards are explicitly mentioned, her extensive peer-reviewed output underscores her academic influence. She actively participates in academic committees and course leadership roles, reflecting her dual commitment to teaching and research.

Jenny’s work bridges theoretical analysis and practical applications, addressing both environmental and ergonomic challenges in modern transportation systems. Her research group frequently publishes in top journals like Vehicle System Dynamics and International Journal of Automotive Technology, and she contributes to international conferences on vehicle dynamics and control.
