2. 1. Simulation-based Evaluation of Fixed to Flexible Transit

   Author : David Leffler; Erik Jenelius; Wilco Burghout; Oded Cats; Chris Tampère; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transportsystem; Transport Systems;

   Abstract : Emerging technologies have inspired a wide array of flexible public transit system designs characterized by varying degrees of demand-responsive routing and scheduling. The availability and synthesis of new data sources with higher degrees of spatial and temporal richness brought on by advancements in Intelligent Transport Systems allow for monitoring and responding to evolving supply-demand imbalances in real-time.

   Abstract : Globally, there is increasing awareness of the importance of applying circular economy principles to the management of organic waste streams through resource recovery. This is especially relevant in urban areas of low- and middle-income countries which are going to host a significant part of population growth over the next few decades. READ MORE

5. 3. Emission estimation based on traffic models and measurements

   Author : Nikolaos Tsanakas; Jan T. Lundgren; Joakim Ekström; Johan Olstam; Marcus Gerstenberger; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Traffic congestion increases travel times, but also results in higher energy usage and vehicular emissions. To evaluate the impact of traffic emissions on environment and human health, the accurate estimation of their rates and location is required. READ MORE

6. 4. Urban Travel Time Estimation from Sparse GPS Data : An Efficient and Scalable Approach

   Author : Mahmood Rahmani; Harilaos Koutsopoulos; Nikolas Geroliminis; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; map-matching; path inference; sparse GPS probes; floating car data; arterial; urban area; digital road network; iterative travel time estimation; fixed point problem; Stockholm; taxi; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

   Abstract : The use of GPS probes in traffic management is growing rapidly as the required data collection infrastructure is increasingly in place, with significant number of mobile sensors moving around covering expansive areas of the road network. Many travelers carry with them at least one device with a built-in GPS receiver. READ MORE

7. 5. Landscape Ecological Analysis and Assessment in an Urbanising Environment - forest birds as biodiversity indicators

   Author : Ulla Mörtberg; KTH; []
   Keywords : Landscape ecology; planning; strategic environmental assessment; biodiversity;

   Abstract : To achieve a sustainable development, impacts onbiodiversity of urbanisation, infrastructure, land use changesand other developments must be considered on a landscape andregional scale. Landscape ecology can provide a conceptualframework for the assessment of consequences of long-termdevelopment processes like urbanisation on biodiversity on alandscape scale, and for evaluating the impacts of alternativeplanning scenarios.
