  2. 1. Sustainable Electromobility : A System Approach to Transformation of Transportation

    Author : Harrison John Bhatti; Mike Danilovic; Rune Wigblad; Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Energy system; Transportation System; System Approach; Symbiotic Business Model; Innovation Ecosystem; Technology Readiness; Political Readiness; Societal Readiness; Economic Readiness;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to explore, analyze, and develop knowledge that leads to an understanding of identifying the key actors and their symbiotic relationships and dependencies in transforming the energy and transportation system from fossil-based to renewable and fossil fuel-powered vehicles to electric. The research was explorative and categorized into two studies.

    Abstract : Transportation and transportation infrastructure are major contributors to global emissions. Even though most of these emissions can be attributed to fuel consumption of vehicles, some of it is due to pavement construction and maintenance. READ MORE

  6. 4. On the Agglomeration of Particles in Exhaust Gases

    Author : Ghulam Majal; Mihai Mihaescu; Mats Åbom; Mikael Karlsson; Lisa Prahl Wittberg; Henrik Ström; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Multiphase flow; DES; particulate matter; exhaust after treatment; particle agglomeration; Lagrangian particle tracking; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Abstract : Particulate emissions from road transportation are known to have an adverse impact on human health as well the environment. As the effects become more palpable, stricter legislation have been proposed by regulating bodies. READ MORE

  7. 5. Complexity in transportation and logistics systems : A conceptual approach to modelling and analysis

    Author : Jonas Waidringer; Chalmers; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; management; measurement; logistics; modelling; complexity; transportation;

    Abstract : The basis for the thesis is to assess the usefulness of describing and analysing transportation and logistics systems as being complex systems. The reason and assumption being that in the future more integrated and sophisticated systems and solutions will be demanded. READ MORE
