  2. 1. Leveraging supplier material data to inform LCA modelling and resource assessment in the automotive industry

    Author : Felipe Bitencourt de Oliveira; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; life cycle assessment LCA ; vehicle gliders; metal availability; metal scarcity; life cycle inventory LCI ; automotive industry; International Material Data System IMDS ;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the application of supplier material composition data from the automotive industry's International Material Data System (IMDS) to inform sustainability assessments. A methodology is developed to systematically extract and process IMDS data for use in life cycle assessment (LCA) modelling. READ MORE

  4. 2. Modelling and Simulation for Evaluation of Cooperative Intelligent Transport System Functions

    Author : Maytheewat Aramrattana; Tony Ingemar Larsson; Jonas Jansson; Kenneth Lind; Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cooperative ITS; Autonomous driving; Traffic mixture; Simulation; Adaptive cruise control; Platooning electronic ; 23 Road: ITS och traffic; 23 Road: ITS och traffic;

    Abstract : Future vehicles are expected to be equipped with wireless communication technology, that enables them to be “connected” to each others and road infrastructures. Complementing current autonomous vehicles and automated driving systems, the wireless communication allows the vehicles to interact, cooperate, and be aware of its surroundings beyond their own sensors’ range.
