  1. 6. Perceived Safety Risk and Information Search Behaviour for Rapid Transit Travel : A Descriptive and Explanatory Case Study of Stockholm’s Rapid Transit System

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik och samhälle

    Author : Carl Jacobsson; Jens Hedström; [2020]
    Keywords : Consumer Behaviour; Percived Risk; Information Search; Rapid Transit; Search Behaviour;

    Abstract : By using perceived risk theory to research consumers' feeling of safety in rapid transit, this study brings insight to the limited research area of consumer perceived risk of travelling by rapid transit in the context of unsafe and unpleasant incidents and its effect on consumer search behaviour. The existing models of risk induced information behaviour are mostly relevant for complex decisions. READ MORE

  3. 7. A BRT Corridor Through Stockholm’s Inner-city : Assessing the Operational Impacts of a BRT Corridor Along Bus Line 4 Using Microscopic Simulation

    University essay from KTH/Transportplanering

    Author : FRANCISCO CARON MALUCELLI; [2020]
    Keywords : BRT; Bus Rapid Transit; microscopic simulation; Vissim; trunk buses; Line 4;

    Abstract : Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridors and systems have emerged in the past three decades as affordablesolutions of medium capacity public transport services to highly urbanized areas, especially in LatinAmerica and Asia. In Stockholm, trunk bus lines have gained priority over mixed traffic over the yearsthrough exclusive bus lanes, signal priority, and reliability control, for example, but no complete BRTsolution has been implemented yet.

  4. 8. Load following in a Swedish nuclear power plant

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Jacob Bjurenfalk; [2020]
    Keywords : chemical engineering; nuclear power; load following; process engineering; electricity production; APROS; Simulations; swedish power gird; kemiteknik; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The energy system in Sweden is currently under a great transformation, where the part of weather dependent energy sources, so called intermittent sources, like solar and wind power will get greater share in the total production of electricity while the production from stable energy sources like nuclear power is decreasing. For a long time, the nuclear power have been operating at baseload and the hydropower as flexible, though, due to the change in the current power system, nuclear power plants may need to transit to flexible operation and apply load following.

    Author : Robby Yudo Purnomo; [2020]
    Keywords : Advanced technology; Autonomous buses; Network Design; Total Cost; Hybrid Network;

    Abstract : There is rapid development in the transportation field. Soon, along with the rapid population growth, there will be a change in the mobility pattern. READ MORE

  6. 10. Paratransit and Bus Rapid Transit Interaction Approaches and Corresponding Barriers

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Messner Laura; [2020]
    Keywords : informal public transport; multi-regimes; socio-technical transition theory; stakeholder theory; Sub- Saharan Africa; sustainable development;

    Abstract : Public transport in many Sub-Saharan African cities consists of paratransit, mini-to-medium-sized buses, which provide public transport and operate demand-driven and unscheduled. This form of public transport is often seen as less safe, less dependable, and environmentally unfriendly. READ MORE
