   Author : Ahmad Hussein; Magnus Lindmark; Hans Jörgensen; Peter Hedberg; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; International trade; international business; foreign trade; transit trade; export markets; trade policy; Economic history; Ekonomisk historia;

   Abstract : This licentiate thesis examines the development of Swedish–Lebanese trade relations and the changes of significance for Swedish trade towards Lebanon during the period 1920-1965. The aim of the study is to explore how Sweden as representing a small, open Western economy could develop its economic interests in the emerging Middle East market characterised both by promising economic outlooks, and a high degree of political instability during the age of decolonisation, Cold War logic, and intricate commercial and geo-political factors.

4. 2. Baltic Sea Ports and Russian Foreign Trade - Studies in the Economic and Political Geography of Transition

   Author : Alf Brodin; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Hamnar; transition; Östersjön; transportgeografi; geopolitik; Ryssland; Estland; Lettland; Litauen; Baltikum; fd. Sovjetunionen; handelsstatistik; transithandel; Port; transition; Baltic Sea; transport geography; geopolitics; Russia; Estonia; Latvia; Lithuania; former Soviet Union; transit trade; trade statistics;

   Abstract : The aim of this study is to describe how the changing geopolitical environment in the former Soviet Union (FSU) has created a new transport geography, and thereby resulted in new patterns of foreign trade routes, port competition and market economic adaptation in the Baltic Sea fringe. The geographical limitation is the western part of the FSU and the Baltic Sea. READ MORE

5. 3. 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. 4. Public transport demand and supply management under uneven passenger distributions

   Author : Soumela Peftitsi; Erik Jenelius; Oded Cats; Achille Fonzone; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; public transport; uneven passenger distribution; transit assignment model; travel behavior; control measures; crowding information; skip-stop; Transportsystem; Transport Systems;

   Abstract : Overcrowding in public transport (also known as public transportation, public transit, or transit) systems due to increased travel mobility has become a major problem for public transport operators. Overcrowded transit stations and vehicles are connected to travel time variability and greater discomfort for the passengers. READ MORE

7. 5. Simulation and Evaluation of Urban Rail On-board Crowding

   Author : Soumela Peftitsi; Erik Jenelius; Oded Cats; Andreas Tapani; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transportsystem; Transport Systems;

   Abstract : As travel demand grows in many metropolitan areas, overcrowding in public transport systems has become a major issue. Crowding distribution can be highly uneven over station platforms and multi-car transit vehicles. This implies that cars are not equally utilized and thus, passengers perceive on-board crowding higher. READ MORE
