   Abstract : The current state of window and blind design moves beyond evaluating a single function, such as energy consumption, to include a human perspective in architectural design approach to create value. A current thought among architects and design professionals is that the highest value outcomes can be obtained when any architectural design contributes to enhanced well-being. READ MORE

4. 7. Life Cycle Costing in Road Planning and Management : A Case Study on Collision-free Roads

   Author : Jonas Wennström; Håkan Sundquist; Tommy Edeskär; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; collision-free road; design; infrastructure; investment; life cycle costing; life cycle cost analysis; maintenance; management; operation; planning; road; sustainability;

   Abstract : Construction of infrastructure does not only mean large capital investments but also future costs to operate and maintain these assets. Decision making in planning and design of roads will impact the need of future operation and maintenance activities. READ MORE

5. 8. A Decision Support System for Integration Test Selection

   Author : Sahar Tahvili; Markus Bohlin; Daniel Sundmark; Stig Larsson; Wasif Afzal; Mattias Nyberg; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Computer Science; datavetenskap;

   Abstract : Software testing generally suffers from time and budget limitations. Indiscriminately executing all available test cases leads to sub-optimal exploitation of testing resources. Selecting too few test cases for execution on the other hand might leave a large number of faults undiscovered. READ MORE

6. 9. Geo-environmental considerations in transport infrastructure planning

   Author : Caroline Karlsson; Bo Olofsson; Ulla Mörtberg; Joanne Robison Fernlund; João Manuel Coutinho Rodrigues; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Roads; Railways; Geology; GIS; Decision support; Modelling; Land and Water Resources Engineering; Mark- och vattenteknik;

   Abstract : Transport infrastructure constitutes one of the key factors to a country’s economic growth. Investment in new transport infrastructure might cause potential environmental impacts, and if a project has several alternative corridors open for suggestion then each alternative corridor will have a different impact on the environment.

7. 10. The Transition Towards a Fossil Free Freight Transport Sector – Policy Evaluations and Effects of Proposed Policy Instruments

   Author : Lina Trosvik; Johan Woxenius; Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Maritime transport; Policy evaluation; Policy instruments; Scenario analyses; Freight transport; Evaluation criteria; Greenhouse gas emissions;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis is to improve the knowledge about how policy instruments can contribute to effective and efficient reductions of greenhouse gas emissions in the freight and maritime transport sectors. Paper I addresses this aim by analysing how policy evaluations contribute with information about whether policy instruments in the freight transport sector have been successful in achieving their targets and how to improve or correct already implemented ones.
