   Abstract : Urbanization is one of the great challenges in the 21st century. Despite being an engine for the global economy, urban areas consume 78% of World's energy and emit more than 60% of greenhouse gas emission. Sub-SaharanAfrican cities, e.g. READ MORE

4. 2. Assessing Energy Use and Carbon Emissions to Support Planning of Environmentally Sustainable Earthmoving Operations

   Author : Hassanean S.H Jassim; Thomas Olofsson; Nashwan Dawood; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy use; CO2 emissions; earthmoving operation; operational characteristics; project conditions; selection equipment configuration; Byggproduktion och teknik; Construction Management and Building Technology;

   Abstract : Road and infrastructure projects have significant environmental impacts due to their high energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Among it, earthmoving operations contribute disproportionately to these impacts because of their intensive use of heavy machinery. READ MORE

   Abstract : Monitoring of industrial gas turbines is of vital importance, since it gives valuable information for the customer about maintenance, performance, and process health. The performance of an industrial gas turbine degrades gradually due to factors such as environment air pollution, fuel content, and ageing to mention some of the degradation factors. READ MORE

7. 5. Data Driven Condition Monitoring for Transmission and Axles

   Author : Elisabeth Källström; John Lindström; Magnus Karlberg; Jiri Tuma; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Datorstödd maskinkonstruktion; Computer Aided Design;

   Abstract : As the requirements to improve up-time and thus to reduce costly down-time con-tinuously increases, the construction equipment business focuses on more and newways to increase ability and sensitivity of early fault detection of critical compo-nents and parts in order to prevent failure. Failure of critical components in theheavy duty machine may lead to unnecessary stops and expensive downtime. READ MORE
