  2. 11. Exploring logistics actions enabling environmentally sustainable freight transport

    Author : Vendela Santén; 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; co-operation; freight transport; actions; load factor; logistics; actors’ perspectives; sustainability; environment;

    Abstract : To curb unsustainable freight transport trends; such as transport growth, larger dependency on road transport and generally an increased share of greenhouse gas emissions from the sector, actions needs to be taken among actors in the logistics system. The purpose of this thesis is to explore logistics actions that enable environmentally sustainable freight transport. READ MORE

  4. 12. Energy Efficiency in Winter Road Maintenance - A Road Climatological Perspective

    Author : Lina Nordin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Road climate; RWIS; frost; snow; fuel consumption; heavy-duty vehicles; route optimisation programme; energy efficiency; winter road maintenance;

    Abstract : Practices in winter road maintenance are dependent on the climate and weather impacting roads and the road users’ requirements. As in many other fields of transportation, it is of interest to investigate fuel efficiency potentials in the different aspects of the road maintenance area. READ MORE

  5. 13. Simulation-based Evaluation of Fixed to Flexible Transit

    Author : David Leffler; Erik Jenelius; Wilco Burghout; Oded Cats; Chris Tampère; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transportsystem; Transport Systems;

    Abstract : Emerging technologies have inspired a wide array of flexible public transit system designs characterized by varying degrees of demand-responsive routing and scheduling. The availability and synthesis of new data sources with higher degrees of spatial and temporal richness brought on by advancements in Intelligent Transport Systems allow for monitoring and responding to evolving supply-demand imbalances in real-time.

  6. 14. Intermodal Transport in Less-than-Truckload Networks

    Author : Robert Sommar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mode choice; LTL networks; intermodal transport; decision-making;

    Abstract : In producing transport services several different transport modes are available. Through the last decades, road transport has increased rapidly. This development is recognised as unsustainable. A more sustainable alternative is intermodal transport. READ MORE

  7. 15. Security in Physical Distribution Networks - A Survey Study of Swedish Transport Operators

    Author : Luca Urciuoli; Teknisk logistik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; antagonistic threats.; supply chain security; cargo security; physical distribution security; transportation security; cargo theft; Quantitative Risk Assessment;

    Abstract : The objective of this study is to understand what factors influence the security of physical distribution networks. Thereafter it aims to bring to light what security measures exist today to enhance security and finally how to determine the profitability of security investments. READ MORE
