  2. 11. Energy efficiency improvements in logistics as a means to environmental sustainability: The case of capacity utilisation in road freight transportation

    Author : Jessica Wehner; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Capacity utilisation; household logistics capability; system levels; distribution structure; logistics system; energy efficiency; last-mile fulfilment; overcapacity; system boundaries; road freight transportation;

    Abstract : The energy consumption in logistics, and especially in road freight transportation, is steadily increasing and with that the greenhouse gas emissions which have a negative impact on the environment. In order to improve environmental sustainability of logistics, a change in the actors’ behaviour and policies is needed since the development of technology alone is not sufficient. READ MORE

  4. 12. Improving energy efficiency in logistics systems: On the road to environmental sustainability

    Author : Jessica Wehner; 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; road freight transport; service modularity; service logic; logistics fulfilment; Capacity utilisation; point of consumption; first mile; service blueprint; household waste; distribution structure; system levels; systems perspective; value co-creation; last mile;

    Abstract : Logistics are essential to efficiently managing the flow of materials and products between various nodes that operate in multiple systems. In that process, the activities of moving and storing materials and products, especially through road freight transport, consume significant energy resources and emit greenhouse gases that harm the environment.

  6. 14. Enabling and Achieving Self-Management for Large Scale Distributed Systems : Platform and Design Methodology for Self-Management

    Author : Ahmad Al-Shishtawy; Vladimir Vlassov; Seif Haridi; Peter Van Roy; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Autonomic Computing; Self-Management; Distributed Systems; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Autonomic computing is a paradigm that aims at reducing administrative overhead by using autonomic managers to make applications self-managing. To better deal with large-scale dynamic environments; and to improve scalability, robustness, and performance; we advocate for distribution of management functions among several cooperative autonomic managers that coordinate their activities in order to achieve management objectives.

  7. 15. On Development Planning of Electricity Distribution Networks

    Author : Viktoria Neimane; KTH; []
    Keywords : Electric power systems; electricity distribution; planning; risk management; network optimization;

    Abstract : Future development of electric power systems must pursue anumber of different goals. The power system should beeconomically efficient, it should provide reliable energysupply and should not damage the environment. At the same time,operation and development of the system is influenced by avariety of uncertain and random factors. READ MORE
