  2. 1. Towards electrified public bus transport : The case of Stockholm

    Author : Maria Xylia; Semida Silveira; Maria Börjesson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; electric bus; charging infrastructure; optimisation; public transport; fossil-free; transport planning; Sweden; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses the challenge of road transport electrification using a systems approach for the particular context of Stockholm’s public transport system. The objective is to identify the benefits of large-scale bus electrification on energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the cost and planning considerations required for achieving such a shift.

  4. 2. Communication technology and travel demand models

    Author : Maria Börjesson; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Transportation planners have traditionally focused onphysical travel only, and disregarded the fact that other modesof communication may influence travel demand. However, moderntelecommunications are rapidly increasing the accessibility toactivities that previously only could be reached by physicaltransportation. READ MORE

  6. 4. Issues in Urban Travel Demand Modelling : ICT Implications and Trip timing choice

    Author : Maria Börjesson; Staffan Algers; Kay Axhausen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Journey; Mathematical model; Origin traffic ; Time; Telecommuting; Journey time; Variability; Stated preference; Delay; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur; 11 Road: Personal transport; 11 Road: Personal transport;

    Abstract : Travel demand forecasting is essential for many decisions, such as infrastructure investments and policy measures. Traditionally travel demand modelling has considered trip frequency, mode, destination and route choice. This thesis considers two other choice dimensions, hypothesised to have implications for travel demand forecasting. READ MORE

  7. 5. Methods for Capacity Allocation in Deregulated Railway Markets

    Author : Abderrahman Ait Ali; Jonas Eliasson; Anders Peterson; Maria Börjesson; Yves Crozet; Linköpings universitet; []
