  2. 1. 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.

  4. 2. Quantitative Assessment of Intelligent Transport Systems for Road Freight Transport

    Author : Gideon Mbiydzenyuy; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Transport telematic services; Assessment; Freight transport; Quantitative; Modeling; Decision support systems;

    Abstract : In this thesis, methods for using computer-based models as support tools for assessing Transport Telematic Services (TTSs) are studied. Such assessments provide one way to understand how TTSs can address problems caused by transportation, such as accidents, emissions, and energy consumption. READ MORE

  5. 3. Application of Predictive Analytics for Shunting Yard Delays

    Author : Niloofar Minbashi; Markus Bohlin; Behzad Kordnejad; Carl-William Palmqvist; Paola Pellegrini; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Shunting yards; train delays; machine learning; simulation; freight transport; Godsbangårdar; tåg förseningar; maskininlärning; simulering; godstransport; Transportsystem; Transport Systems;

    Abstract : Increasing the modal share of rail freight transport is one of the main ways to achieve carbon neutrality in Europe. The perceived low reliability and predictability of rail freight services is one of the main challenges to overcome in reaching this target. READ MORE

  6. 4. Heavy-Duty Vehicle Platooning : Modeling and Analysis

    Author : Qichen Deng; Gunnar Flötteröd; Wilco Burghout; Clas Rydergren; KTH; []
    Keywords : Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Abstract : Coupled with the growth of world economy, the demand for freight transport has escalated and will continue to do so. As the traffic intensity increases, the pressure on infrastructure, energy usage and environment becomes higher than ever. Meanwhile, the number of traffic accidents is also increasing year by year as a result. READ MORE

  7. 5. On the Incentives to Shift to Low-Carbon Freight Transport

    Author : Fredrik Eng Larsson; Teknisk logistik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; low-carbon transport; green logistics; sustainability; operations and the environment; supply chain management; incentive alignment;

    Abstract : The transport sector accounts for approximately 20% of EU-27 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and 27% of U.S. GHG emissions. With the Kyoto Protocol, Sweden and several other nations have agreed to reduce these emissions. READ MORE
