2. 1. Ease-of-Use in Public Transportation : A User Perspective on Information and Orientation Aspects

   Author : Katrin Dziekan; Lars-Göran Mattsson; Brian D. Taylor; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; public transportation; user perspective; psychology; public transportation planning; evaluation; newcomers in a city; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

   Abstract : This interdisciplinary thesis combines psychological and transportation planning knowledge. Three main questions are investigated: 1) What concepts and ideas do people have with regard to a public transportation system (cognitive user perspective)?; 2) What orientation and information factors within the public transportation system enhance Ease-of-Use and make it simpler and more efficient to use public transportation in metropolitan areas?; 3) How can Ease-of-Use of a public transportation route be measured? A combination of qualitative and quantitative methods was used. READ MORE

4. 2. Human mobility behavior : Transport mode detection by GPS data

   Author : Paria Sadeghian; Johan Håkansson; Xiaoyun Zhao; Kenneth Carling; Gyözö Gidofalvi; Högskolan Dalarna; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Transport mode detection; Machine learning; Statistical learning; Rule-based method; Data labeling;

   Abstract : GPS tracking data are widely used to understand human travel behavior and to evaluate the impact of travel. A major advantage with the usage of GPS tracking devices for collecting data is that it enables the researcher to collect large amounts of highly accurate and detailed human mobility data. READ MORE

5. 3. Analyzing Logistic Requirements using a Systems Engineering Approach - an initial step towards innovative ship design

   Author : Ingar Malmgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; effectiveness; ship design; innovation; logistic requirements; short sea shipping; intermodal transport chain; method development; systems engineering; transportation; performance parameters;

   Abstract : Transport by road is the most dominant mode of transportation in Europe today. An increased use of short sea shipping can balance the European transport system and contribute to a better environmental situation. Accordingly, The European Commission proposes a shift of transported volumes from road to rail and short sea shipping. READ MORE

6. 4. Transport policy analysis using multi-agent-based simulation

   Author : Linda Ramstedt; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Transportation; Transport chain; Multi-agent-based simulation; Transport policy; Logistics; Decisions;

   Abstract : This thesis explores how multi-agent-based simulation can be used for transport policy analysis. Transport policies are often used as a means to reach governmental goals, such as environmental targets to reduce the impact of transportation. READ MORE

7. 5. Toward intelligent goods : characteristics, architectures and applications

   Author : Åse Jevinger; Jens Schumacher; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : Intelligent goods; Transportation; Decentralized freight intelligence;

   Abstract : In the context of globalization, the requirements on transport logistics continuously rise. Often goods travel through many different countries, using several transport modes and involving a number of different actors. READ MORE
