  1. 1. Customizable Contraction Hierarchies for Mixed Fleet Vehicle Routing : Fast weight customization when not adhering to triangle inequality

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Martin Larsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Contraction Hierarchies; Customizable Contraction Hierarchies; Vehicle Routing Problem; Battery Electric Vehicles; Mixed Fleet; Kontraktionshierarkier; Anpassningsbara Kontraktionshierarkier; Ruttplanering; Batteridrivna elfordon; Blandad fordonsflotta;

    Abstract : As the transport industry shifts towards Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) the need for accurate route planning rises. BEVs have reduced range compared to traditional fuel based vehicles, and the range can vary greatly depending on ambient conditions and vehicle load. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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 : De ökande luftföroreningarna i Europa är ett allvarligt miljöproblem, och vägtransporterna är en av de största orsakerna till detta. För att ta itu med detta problem och uppfylla nya utsläppskrav måste efterbehandlingssystemen för avgaser förbättras. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development of an Accelerated Test Method for Compressed Natural Gas Fuel System Robustness against Contamination

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Elias Aretorn; [2023]
    Keywords : CNG; Natural Gas; Heavy-Duty Vehicles; Fuel System; Contamination; Cleanliness; Accelerated Testing; Experimental Setup; Pressure Regulator;

    Abstract : A key factor for driving the shift towards sustainable transportation systems is alternative fuels, where compressed natural gas (CNG) is a beneficial alternative to the conventional fossil fuels with respect to greenhouse gas emissions. A fuel system is needed for heavy-duty natural gas vehicles, in order to transport the highly pressurized gas from the fuel tanks to the internal combustion engine. READ MORE
