  1. 11. A comparative study of nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithms on sustainable road network planning

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för data- och systemvetenskap

    Author : Mohammed Luqman; [2022]
    Keywords : sustainable; road network; optimization; metaheuristic; global warming;

    Abstract : Global warming is a serious threat to the existence of human life on earth. Greenhouse gas emission is the major cause of global warming. Carbon dioxide is the major greenhouse gas emitted due to human activity. Road transport accounts for 15% of CO2 emissions worldwide. READ MORE

  3. 12. The Diffusion of Hydrogen Technology in the Road Transport Sector in Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Henrik Bratt; [2022]
    Keywords : Alternative fuels; Diffusion of Innovations; Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles; Hydrogen diffusion; Hydrogen-powered vehicle; Sustainable Development;

    Abstract : Carbon emissions are one of the primary drivers of climate change and the transport sector accounts for 24% of the global carbon emissions. A shift within the automobile industry towards more eco-friendly modes of transportation is hence needed. READ MORE

  4. 13. Investigating the replacement of old passenger cars with modern less emission intensive cars in Sweden using Total Cost of Ownership approach

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Shahab Zafar; [2022]
    Keywords : Sustainable Development; Total Cost of Ownership TCO ; Lifecycle Cost Analysis LCCA ; Netzero Mobility; ICE cars; EV Transition;

    Abstract : Purpose. In Sweden, private commuting accounts for two third of total transportation emissions and 21% of the country’s total. To become net-zero by 2045, Sweden plans to have 2 million electric cars on the roads by 2030. Whereas with current pace, there will be 1 million electric cars by the end of the decade. READ MORE
