2. 1. Towards sustainable personal mobility with electric cars and buses

   Author : Sven Borén; Göran Broman; Henrik Ny; Louise Ödlund; Maria Grahn; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strategic Sustainable Development; Transport Planning; Electric Vehicles; Testing; LCA; Mobility;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to explore if, and then how, electric cars and buses can contribute to sustainable personal mobility. Electric vehicles have increasingly been seen as a potential sustainable solution for the transport sector due to their high energy efficiency, close to zero emissions in the use phase, and the possibility to be powered by electricity from renewable resources.

4. 2. Modelling and inference of relative collision safety in cars

   Author : Anna Vadeby; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Collision; Mathematical model; Head on collision; Injury; Risk; Car; 91 Road: Vehicle design and construction; 91 Road: Vehicle design and construction; 85 Road: Personal injuries; 85 Road: Personal injuries;

   Abstract : We propose a new mathematical model for relative collision safety in cars. Our present research is restricted to head-on crashes between two cars and we try to determine how much of the injury risk in a crash that depends on car model. The relative risks include the driver populations of the different car models. READ MORE

5. 3. Power loss minimization in electric cars by wheel force allocation

   Author : Juliette Torinsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; control allocation; electric vehicles; energy efficiency;

   Abstract : The need for lowering the emission levels has never been greater than now. In the vehicle industry, electrification seems to be an irreversible way ahead but user-related challenges such as limited range delay electricity as the primary energy source for personal transportation.

6. 4. An Approach to Business Modeling for Sustainable Personal Road Transport

   Author : Lisiana Nurhadi; Tobias Larsson; Henrik Ny; Erik Sundin; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Business Modelling; Sustainable Transport;

   Abstract : Between 1950 and 2013 the total amount of Swedish travelling has increased from about 20 billion to about 140 billion passenger kilometers. This included an increase in travelling with private cars from about 3 billion to about 105 billion passenger kilometers, and in bus travelling from about 2.5 billion to about 5 billion passenger kilometers.

7. 5. Automotive Remanufacturing in a Changing Market : Challenges and Opportunities in a market with a growing share of electric cars

   Author : Robert Casper; Erik Sundin; Mats Björkman; Amir Rashid; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Circular Economy; Remanufacturing Process Challenges and Improvements; Process Efficiency; Automotive Part Remanufacturing and Reuse; Internal Combustion Engines ICE ; Battery Electric Vehicles BEV ; Cirkulär Ekonomi; Återtillverkning; Återtillverkningsprocesser; Processeffektivitet; Bilindustri; Förbränningsmotorer; Elbilar; Elektrifiering;

   Abstract : This doctoral thesis deals with closed-loop supply chains, which include remanufacturing. Remanufacturing can be described as an industrial process to bring back a used good into an “as-good-as-new” condition. Furthermore, focus is put on one of the largest global industry sectors: the automotive industry. READ MORE
