2. 1. 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

4. 2. Driverless trucks in the Swedish freight transport system : An analysis of future impacts on the transport system and the emerging innovation system

   Author : Albin Engholm; Anna Pernestål; Ida Kristoffersson; Maria Oscott; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Driverless Trucks; Automated Driving; Total Cost of Ownership; Freight Transport Modeling; Innovation Systems; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

   Abstract : A large-scale introduction of driverless trucks could start taking place during the next decade. While this could bring several economic benefits for freight transport actors and society, it may also change the freight transport system and exacerbate the negative effects of road transport.

5. 3. Integrated Product Service Offerings for Rail Infrastructure : Potential Benefits and Challenges

   Author : Sofia Lingegård; Mattias Lindahl; Niclas Svensson; Rajkumar Roy; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Large amounts of different materials are used when building and maintaining railway infrastructure, and the environmental impacts from the upstream production stages are significant. Industry’s motivation to innovate is low, new products or methods are rarely used, and the lowest price is the main driver for selecting a tender. READ MORE

6. 4. Incentives to innovations in road and rail maintenance and operations

   Author : Torbjörn Stenbeck; KTH; []
   Keywords : Social sciences; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : Worried voices in the Swedish road maintenance and operations industry claim that innovations and technical development has ceased in the last decades. One hypothesis is that it is an effect of the public tendering reform introduced in 1992. READ MORE

7. 5. A Study of Combinatorial Optimization Problems in Industrial Computer Systems

   Author : Markus Bohlin; Björn Lisper; Per Kreuger; Mikael Sjödin; Petru Eles; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer science; Datalogi; Computer Science; datavetenskap;

   Abstract : A combinatorial optimization problem is an optimization problem where the number of possible solutions are finite and grow combinatorially with the problem size. Combinatorial problems exist everywhere in industrial systems. READ MORE
