  2. 1. Cooperative Variable Speed Limit Systems : Modeling and Evaluation using Microscopic Traffic Simulation

    Author : Ellen Grumert; Jan Lundgren; Andreas Tapani; Wilco Burghout; Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut; []
    Keywords : Variable speed limit; Traffic; Micro; Simulation; Data exchange; Telecommunication; Vehicle; Transport infrastructure; Intelligent transport system; In vehicle information; 23 Road: ITS och traffic; 23 Road: ITS och traffic; 25 Road: Traffic theory; 25 Road: Traffic theory;

    Abstract : During the last decades the road traffic has increased tremendously leading to congestion, safety issues and increased environmental impacts. As a result, many countries are continuously trying to find improvements and new solutions to solve these issues. READ MORE

  4. 2. Using Connected Vehicles in Variable Speed Limit Systems: : System Design and Effects

    Author : Ellen F. Grumert; Jan Lundgren; Andreas Tapani; Francesc Soriguera; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Motorway traffic management systems are useful for improving the traffic conditions on urban motorways. One of the most common motorway traffic management systems are variable speed limit systems. READ MORE

  5. 3. Capacity Control of Residential Heat Pump Heating Systems

    Author : Fredrik Karlsson; RISE; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy efficiency; variable-speed; air-source; performance; hydronic heating system; ground-source; heat pump; defrost; optimisation; circulator; capacity control;

    Abstract : Heat pumps used for space and sanitary hot water heating of residential buildings are increasingly popular in northern Europe. As they compete with other heating equipment and in order to limit the environmental impact of their use, it is very important that heat pumps are energy efficient. READ MORE

  6. 4. Modelling of Traffic Performance for Swedish Roads and Motorways

    Author : Per Strömgren; Harilaos Koutsopoulos; Nagui Rouphail; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Rural highway; Intersection; Capacity; Critical gap; Flare; Micro simulation; Motorway; Ramp; Weaving; Merging; Queue; Delay; Over-saturated; Time-space; Roadwork zone; variable speed limit; harmonization; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of five scientific articles oriented towards capacity. Managing capacity constraints with associated delays is a big issue at new design as well as at trimming existing traffic facilities. READ MORE

  7. 5. Simulation model of a ship’s energy performance and transportation costs

    Author : Fabian Tillig; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; speed optimization; energy efficiency; wind-assisted propulsion.; performance prediction; energy systems model; ship design;

    Abstract : Society faces a major challenge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to limit the effects and propagation of climate change. As the main contributor to global trade, the shipping industry adds significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions and must actively work towards reducing, or eliminating, emissions in a short period.
