  1. 1. Route Planning of Battery Electric Heavy-Duty Commercial Vehicles : Using Contraction Hierarchies and Mixed Integer Programming

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Datalogi

    Author : Olle Delborg; Elias Insulander; [2023]
    Keywords : route planning; route optimization; contraction hierarchies; mixed integer programming; vehicle routing problem; electric trucks; electric vehicles; battery; openstreetmap; shortest path; Dijkstra;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses route planning of Battery Electric Heavy-Duty Commercial Vehicles to enhance the reliability of electric vehicle transport. Collaborating with Scania, a Swedish truck manufacturing company, the goal is to develop a pipeline that uses open source data from OpenStreetMap and performs a modified Contraction Hierarchy in order to create a graph that can be used as input to a modified Vehicle Routing Problem formulation using Mixed Integer Programming.

    Abstract : The automotive industry has been involved in making vehicles autonomous to different levels in the past decade rapidly. Particularly in the commercial vehicle market, there is a significant necessity to make trucks have a certain level of automation to help reduce dependence on human efforts to drive. READ MORE

  4. 3. Comparative Analysis of On-site vs Off-site green-Hydrogen Value Chain Scenarios to cover projected Aviation demand : A case for Toulouse Blagnac Airport in France

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Stathis Alexandrou; [2023]
    Keywords : Hydrogen Production; Value Chain Analysis; Levelized Cost of Hydrogen Production LCOH ; Hydrogen for Aviation; France; Toulouse Airport; Analys av vätgasens värdekedja; kostnader för vätgasens försörjningskedja; LCOH; flytande vätgas; vätgas för luftfarten; Frankrike; Toulouse Airport; ;

    Abstract : Amidst the efforts to mitigate the energy-related carbon emissions of human activities and pursuing a net-zero future by 2050, the aviation sector, as part of a wider group of hard-to-decarbonize sectors is responsible for 12% of all the transportation emissions globally. Green Hydrogen as a zero-emissions alternative fuel from water and renewable energy serves as a prime candidate to replace conventional aviation fuels and lead the way towards carbon-free flights.
