  2. 1. An Ontology-Based Platform for Information Integration : Supporting Sustainable Smart Transportation Infrastructure

    Author : Wiebke Belitz-Hellwich; Nicole Kringos; Annika Gram; Romain Balieu; Vangelis Angelakis; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ontology; Semantic Web; Interoperability; Information Integration; Logistics; Simulation; Smart Port; ontologi; semantisk webb; interoperabilitet; informationsintegration; logistik; simulering; smart hamn.; Bro- och stålbyggnad; Structural Engineering and Bridges;

    Abstract : Transportation and transportation infrastructure are major contributors to global emissions. Even though most of these emissions can be attributed to fuel consumption of vehicles, some of it is due to pavement construction and maintenance. READ MORE

  4. 2. Towards Smart Maintenance : Machine-Learning Based Prediction of Retroreflectivity and Color of Road Traffic Signs

    Author : Roxan Saleh; Hasan Fleyeh; Moudud Alam; Arend Hintze; Darko Babic; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Road traffic signs; Retroreflectivity; Chromaticity; Maintenance; Predictive models; classification; Survival analysis; Kaplan Estimator; Machine Learning;

    Abstract : Proper maintenance of road traffic signs is vital for safety, as their low visibility can cause accidents and fatalities. Many countries, including Sweden, lack a systematic approach for replacing signs due to the risky, costly, and complex methods needed to measure their color and retroreflectivity. READ MORE

  5. 3. Smart pavement maintenance and infrastructure operation through digital twins : Case study for Norvik Port, Sweden

    Author : Julian Dario Rodriguez; Nicole Kringos; Romain Balieu; Plati Christina; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pavement management; digital twins; finite element model pavement; infrastructure maintenance.; Vägunderhåll; Digitala tvillingar; Ändliga elementmodeller för vägar; Infrastrukturförvaltning; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Byggvetenskap; Bro- och stålbyggnad; Structural Engineering and Bridges;

    Abstract : There is an urgent need to make the way in which people and goods move more sustainable. Though pavements are one of the key components of road transportation networks and logistics systems, they are usually overlooked in systemic sustainability analyses. READ MORE

  6. 4. The Smart City – how smart can ’IT’ be? : Discourses on digitalisation in policy and planning of urban development

    Author : Malin Granath; Karin Axelsson; Ulf Melin; Cecilia Katzeff; Linköpings universitet; []

    Abstract : Cities are facing many challenges; challenges linked to world-wide trends like urbanisation, climate changes and globalisation. In parallel to these trends, we have seen a rapid digitalisation in and of different parts of society. READ MORE

  7. 5. Experimenting for change? : The politics of accomplishing environmental governance through smart energy pilot projects

    Author : Fredrik Envall; Harald Rohracher; Dick Magnusson; Josefin Wangel; Matthew Cashmore; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; environmental governance; political rationality; experiment; smart energy; socio-technical perspective; knowledge politics; power relations; infrastructure.; miljöstyrning; politisk rationalitet; experiment; smarta nät; socio-tekniskt perspektiv; kunskapspolitik; maktrelationer; infrastruktur.;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates how smart energy experimentation arranges environmental governance in Sweden, focusing on the politics of such processes, against the background of an escalating environmental and climate crisis that necessitates urgent energy transformation. Empirically the thesis includes case studies of pilot projects in Stockholm, Malmö, Västerås, and on Gotland, and analysis of the policy landscape, mainly through text analysis and interviews.
