  2. 1. Energy consumption prediction and routing for electric commercial vehicles

    Author : Rafael Basso; 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; Bayesian Inference; Machine Learning; Energy Consumption; Green Logistics; Reinforcement Learning; Electric Vehicles; Vehicle Routing; Eco-Routing;

    Abstract : With the recent growing interest for electric vehicles as one of the initiatives to help tackle pollution and climate change, several opportunities and challenges emerge. This kind of vehicle releases no tailpipe emissions, is quieter, more energy efficient in terms of tank-to-wheels and simpler, which can lead to less maintenance. READ MORE

  4. 2. Applying quantum approximate optimization to the heterogeneous vehicle routing problem

    Author : David Fitzek; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; combinatorial optimization; variational quantum algorithm; Quantum computing; quantum approximate optimization algorithm; vehicle routing;

    Abstract : Quantum computing offers new heuristics for combinatorial problems. With small- and intermediate-scale quantum devices becoming available, it is possible to implement and test these heuristics on small-size problems. READ MORE

    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; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; automation; electrified propulsion; long combination vehicles; electromobility; propulsion system tailoring; automated driving systems; optimal control; single-track and two-track vehicle models; predictive energy management and vehicle stability; motion control; longer heavier vehicles; vehicle stability; optimal energy management; total cost of ownership; optimization; transportation mission; heterogeneous heavy vehicle fleet; fleet sizing;

    Abstract : This thesis proposes methodologies to improve heavy vehicle design by reducing the total cost of ownership and by increasing energy efficiency and safety. Environmental issues, consumers expectations and the growing demand for freight transport have created a competitive environment in providing better transportation solutions. READ MORE

  6. 4. Transportation Mission Based Optimization of Heavy Vehicle Fleets including Propulsion Tailoring

    Author : Toheed Ghandriz; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; optimization; heterogeneous heavy vehicle fleet; optimal energy management; propulsion system tailoring; Automated Driving Systems; electrified propulsion; total cost of ownership; electromobility; transportation mission; fleet sizing;

    Abstract : Over decades freight vehicles were produced for a wide range of operational domains so that vehicle-manufacturers were not concerned much about the actual use-cases of the vehicles. Environmental issues, costumer expectations along with growing demand on freight transport created a competitive environment in providing better transportation solutions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Optimal weather routing using ensemble weather forecasts

    Author : Lukas Skoglund; Jakob Kuttenkeuler; Anders Rosén; Wengang Mao; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; route optimization; ensemble weather forecasts;

    Abstract : Ships small and large all battle the elements when crossing the worlds oceans.  As such, ships are designed to operate in situations with high speed winds and heavy waves.  There are however limits to what any ship can handle safely and it is thus important to avoid the worst weather systems as much as possible.
