  2. 1. Network capacity sharing with QoS as a financial derivative pricing problem : algorithms and network design

    Author : Lars Rasmusson; KTH; []
    Keywords : Computer network architecture; bandwidth trading; inter-domain Quality-of-Service; pricing; combinatorial allocation; financial derivative pricing; stochastic modeling;

    Abstract : A design of anautomatic network capacity markets, oftenreferred to as a bandwidth market, is presented. Three topicsare investigated. First, a network model is proposed. Theproposed model is based upon a trisection of the participantroles into network users, network owners, and market middlemen. READ MORE

  4. 2. Empirical Essays on Railway Infrastructure Costs in Sweden

    Author : Mats Andersson; Lars-Göran Mattsson; John Preston; KTH; []
    Keywords : Railways; Infrastructure; Marginal Costs; Maintenance; Renewal; Econometrics; Panel Data; Survival Analysis; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : The subject of this thesis concerns pricing the use of transport infrastructure. We are empirically investigating the relationship between railway traffic volumes and infrastructure management costs. More specifically, we are interested in estimating the change in infrastructure management costs from marginal variations in traffic volumes, i.e. READ MORE

  5. 3. Towards an efficient use of infrastructure and the built environment : Essays in transport and housing economics

    Author : Lina Jonsson; Fastighetsvetenskap; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Hedonic pricing; Noise; Railway traffic; Road traffic; Congestion pricing; Acceptability; Road user charging; Political Economy; Railway; Marginal cost; Accident probability; Level crossings; Housing Economics; Property tax;

    Abstract : All four papers in the thesis share a common theme: how to achieve an efficient use of infrastructure and the built environment. In the presence of externalities, pricing according to the (short-run) marginal cost is one answer on how this can be achieved and the first two papers estimates parts of the marginal cost of traffic.

  6. 4. CO2 transportation infrastructure and biomass supply systems for carbon capture and storage - A modeling study of Swedish industry

    Author : Sebastian Karlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; BECCS; cost optimization; infrastructure; incentives; CCS; biomass supply; industry; CO2 transportation;

    Abstract : Rapid decarbonization of the industrial sector is crucial if the world is to manage to meet the target set in the Paris Agreement of limiting global warming to “well below 2°C”. The main technological pathways for achieving a low-carbon industry are the substitution of fossil feedstocks and energy supply with bio-based alternatives, electrification, and implementing carbon capture and storage (CCS).

  7. 5. Real-Time Spectrum Access in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks : Competition, Deployment and Pricing

    Author : Saltanat Khamit; Jens Zander; Claes Tidestav; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SRA - ICT; SRA - Informations- och kommunikationsteknik;

    Abstract : The first decade of twenty-first century has witnessed the spread of innovative wireless technologies: novel wireless network architectures and services; operations in unlicensed bands, advanced mobile devices and smartphones. All these have pondered growing demand for wireless broadband services, so that more spectra are required. READ MORE
