    Abstract : Several aspects make today’s transport system non-sustainable: • Production, transport and combustion of fossil fuels lead to global and local environmental problems. • Oil dependency in the transport sector may lead to economical and political instability. READ MORE

  4. 2. Bus rapid transit (BRT) and transitoriented development (TOD) : How to transform and adjust the Swedish cities for attractive bus systems like BRT? What demands BRT?

    Author : Todor Stojanovski; Lars-Göran Mattsson; Karl Kottenhoff; Haris Koutsopoulos; Tom Rye; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bus rapid transit BRT ; transit-oriented development TOD ; bus transportation; neighborhood; urban form; urban morphology; urbanization; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Abstract : Bus rapid transit (BRT) is an innovative bus system with sophisticated vehicles and inflexible busways integrated in the cities, high capacity and high quality, high speed and frequency, distinctive image and comfort. Many in Sweden believe that is impossible to introduce BRT, even though the Swedish towns and cities can benefit from the image, speed and frequency that BRT symbolizes. READ MORE

  5. 3. Transition Towards Fixed-Line Autonomous Bus Transportation Systems

    Author : Jonas Hatzenbühler; Erik Jenelius; Oded Cats; Clas Rydergren; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Autonomous Buses; Public Transportation; Network Design; Resource Allocation; Simulation-based multi-objective Optimization; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Abstract : In the last years the steady development of autonomous driving technology has enabled the deployment of more mature autonomous vehicles. These vehicles have been applied in several pilot projects worldwide, most commonly in the form of small buses. READ MORE

  6. 4. 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
