1. A Traffic Simulation Modeling Framework for Rural Highways
Abstract : Models based on micro-simulation of traffic flows have proven to be useful tools in the study of various traffic systems. Today, there is a wealth of traffic microsimulation models developed for freeway and urban street networks. The road mileage is however in many countries dominated by rural highways. READ MORE

3. A methodology for operations-based safety appraisal of two-lane rural highways : Application in Uganda
Abstract : The majority of the road infrastructure in developing countries consists oftwo-lane highways with one lane in each travel direction. Operational efficiency of these highways is derived fromintermittent passing zones where fast vehicles are permitted by design to pass slow vehicles using the opposite traffic lane. READ MORE

4. Geometry Optimization of an Interior Permanent Magnet Machine for Electric Vehicles - Life Cycle Cost Minimization for City, Rural and Highway Driving
Abstract : This thesis investigates the benefits of customizing an Interior Permanent magnet Machine (IPM) for a specific combination of city, rural and highway driving. Focus lies on the potential to reduce the Life Cycle Cost (LCC) of the IPM and power electronic converter, for an example Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), by custom-making the IPM. READ MORE
