  2. 1. Role of a dry port stakeholder network in intermodal transportation

    Author : Alena Khaslavskaya; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; dry port; coopetition activities; dry port characteristics; Dry port concept; stakeholder network; intermodal transportation; stakeholder objectives; intermodal transportation challenges;

    Abstract : The concept of a dry port, which emerged from intermodal transportation research approximately 20 years ago, has gained popularity due to its financial benefits and positive environmental impact. The core idea behind the dry port concept is the establishment of high-capacity intermodal transportation in the seaport’s hinterland. READ MORE

    Abstract : This thesis proposes methodologies to improve heavy vehicle design by reducing the total cost of ownership and by increasing energy efficiency and safety. Environmental issues, consumers expectations and the growing demand for freight transport have created a competitive environment in providing better transportation solutions. READ MORE

  5. 3. Decentralized Control of Networked Systems : Information Asymmetries and Limitations

    Author : Farhad Farokhi; Karl Henrik Johansson; Jeff S. Shamma; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Networked Control Systems; Decentralized Control; Limited Model Information; Transportation Systems; Sensor Scheduling;

    Abstract : Designing local controllers for networked systems is challenging, because in these systems each local controller can often access only part of the overall information on system parameters and sensor measurements. Traditional control design cannot be easily applied due to the unconventional information patterns, communication network imperfections, and design procedure complexities. READ MORE

  6. 4. Road network and GPS tracking with data processing and quality assessment

    Author : Xiaoyun Zhao; Johan Håkansson; Kenneth Carling; Bin Jiang; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; GPS tracking; Reliability; Road network; visualized map; road network; Map-matching; P-median Model; Network density; Complex Systems – Microdata Analysis; Komplexa system - mikrodataanalys;

    Abstract : GPS technology has been embedded into portable, low-cost electronic devices nowadays to track the movements of mobile objects. This implication has greatly impacted the transportation field by creating a novel and rich source of traffic data on the road network. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cost allocation methods in cooperative transportation planning

    Author : Joen Dahlberg; Stefan Engevall; Maud Göthe-Lundgren; Jenny Karlsson; Athanasios Migdalas; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Transportation, together with transportation planning for goods, provides good conditions for economic growth and is a natural part of modern society. However, transportation has negative side effects, including emissions and traffic congestion. READ MORE
