    Author : Harsha Cheemakurthy; Karl Garme; Joakim Kalantari; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; waterborne public transportation; commuter ferry; modular design; operational requirements; ranking method; sustainable performance; ice operations; ice-hull Interaction; ice load; ice properties; kollektivtrafik på vatten; modulärt färjekoncept; modulär design; rankningsmetod; hållbarhetsparametrar; isbelastning; isförhållanden; isegenskaper; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : There has been a recent surge in interest in waterborne public transportation (WPT). Publictransport providers (PTP) are seeing its potential in complementing the existing transportnetwork and alleviating urban traffic congestion and pollution. But the adoption of WPTtoday is challenging due to a series of technical and implementation challenges. READ MORE

  4. 2. Brash Ice and Level Ice Growth, Effects of Snow

    Author : Vasiola Zhaka; Andrzej Cwirzen; Kaj Riska; Robert Ettema; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; brash ice growth; level ice growth; snow effects; slush; snow ice; macroporosity; piece size distribution; Byggmaterial; Building Materials;

    Abstract : Brash ice occurs due to frequent navigation in ice-infested waters, typically along established navigation tracks regularly maintained by icebreakers and harbors. The accumulation and consolidation of brash ice between two ship passages are influenced by meteorological factors including the cumulative freezing air temperatures, and the mechanical processes such as ice-breaking due to ship passages.
