2. 1. Optimal Control of Electric Bus Lines

   Author : Rémi Lacombe; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Eco-driving; Electric buses; Bus bunching; Nonlinear programming; Optimal control; Model predictive control;

   Abstract : Bus lines are inherently unstable systems, where any delay tends to be further amplified by the accrued passenger loads encountered at stops downstream. This self-reinforcing mechanism, when combined with the multiple sources of disturbances of an urban environment, can lead to the problem of bus bunching. READ MORE

   Abstract : Several aspects make today’s transport system non-sustainable: • Production, transport and combustion of fossil fuels lead to global and local environmental problems. • Oil dependency in the transport sector may lead to economical and political instability. READ MORE

5. 3. Discrete Event Simulation of Bus Terminals

   Author : Therese Lindberg; Jan T. Lundgren; Andreas Tapani; Anders Peterson; Erik Jenelius; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Public transport is important to society as it provides spatial accessibility and reduces congestion and pollution in comparison to other motorized modes. To assure a high-quality service, all parts of the system need to be well-functioning and properly planned. One important aspect for the system's bus terminals is their capacity. READ MORE

6. 4. Regional public transport : The balancing act of service planning

   Author : Joel Hansson; Trafik och väg; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Public transport; Network planning; Regional bus; Regional rail; Rural accessibility; Service planning; Trade-offs;

   Abstract : This thesis addresses the demand for more knowledge regarding regional public transport (between urban areas or to and from rural areas). More specifically, the aim is to develop a better understanding of the effects of different service planning decisions in terms of different trade-offs and their impacts on the overarching objectives of public transport provision.

7. 5. Impacts of Traffic Signal Control Strategies

   Author : Azhar Al-Mudhaffar; Karl-Lennart Bång; Nagui M. Rouphail; KTH; []
   Keywords : Driver behavior; Dilemma zone; Incident reduction; Signal control; Lhovra; Spot; Pribuss; Bus priority; Field measurement; Simulation; Calibration; Traffic performance; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : Traffic signals are very cost effective tools for urban traffic management in urban areas. The number of intersections in Sweden controlled by traffic signals has increased since the seventies, but efforts to study the traffic performance of the employed strategies are still lacking.
