  1. 1. Challenges in the Maintenance and Diagnostic Segment of Digital Asset Management in the Swedish Railway Industry

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

    Author : Salam Adeeb; Marwan Ouali; [2023]
    Keywords : Railway Digital Asset Management; remote monitoring; condition-based maintenance; predictive maintenance; Digital tillgångsförvaltning; prediktivt underhåll; tillståndsbaserat underhåll; diagnostik;

    Abstract : Just like the rest of society, the use of digital technology has throughout the years become a more crucial part for train companies to improve performance, meet customer demands, improve operation and maintenance processes to increase efficiency and reliability. These solutions have through time developed to become part of a cluster named Digital Asset Management (DAM). READ MORE

  3. 2. Cost Overrun in Swedish Infrastructure Transport Projects : An Analysis of Cost Overrun in Swedish Infratructure Transport Projects between 2010-2022

    University essay from Jönköping University/IHH, Nationalekonomi

    Author : Edwin Sjögren; Jacob Norgren; [2023]
    Keywords : Cost Overrun; Infrastructure Transport Projects; Swedish Infrastructure; Behavioral Economics; Optimism Bias; Strategic Misrepresentation; Cost Estimation; Forecasting;

    Abstract : Cost Overrun is something that plagues infrastructure projects, both in Sweden and globally. The repercussion of it can be severe since it not only hurts the public’s perception of how the public authorities manage and allocates its resources, but also due to the immense opportunity costs that arise when the increased costs need to be covered.

  4. 3. Opportunities with Modular Systems in Level Crossings : A Case Study in the Swedish Railway Industry

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

    Author : Marcus Ankaräng; [2023]
    Keywords : level crossing; railway; modular system; systems engineering; systems development; plankorsning; järnväg; modulsystem; systemteknik; systemutveckling;

    Abstract : Level crossings are a dangerous part of railways, causing several deaths every year. While the safest solution is to remove crossings altogether using bridges or tunnels, this is complicated and cannot be done on a large scale. Many level crossings will therefore continue to exist.

  5. 4. An ILP-model for the Train platforming problem

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tillämpad matematik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Simon Calderon; [2023]
    Keywords : Optimization; Integer programming; Train platforming; Train scheduling; Optimering; Heltalsprogrammering; Tåg; Järnväg; Schemaläggning;

    Abstract : The goal of this thesis is to create an optimization model to optimize the routing of trains within railway stations. This problem is known as the train platforming problem, and the model we present is an integer programming model. By this model we aim to optimize factors such as walking distance, switch usage or platform usage. READ MORE

  6. 5. Enhancing circular economy through circular public procurement : A case study within the Swedish railway industry

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Industriell ekonomi

    Author : Josefin Odelstam; Josefine Blomqvist; [2023]
    Keywords : Circular economy; circular public procurement; circular requirements;

    Abstract : Purpose: The study aims to identify essential barriers, enablers, and incentives for including circular requirements in tender specification, to facilitate the transition from linear to circular public procurement within the railway industry, thus enhancing a circular economy. This by answering the following research questions: RQ1: What barriers and enablers for circular public procurement within the railway industry exist, and how can the enablers overcome the barriers to facilitate the transition from linear to circular public procurement to enhance a circular economy? RQ2: How can public procurers be incentivized to undergo a transition from linear to circular public procurement within the railway industry? Method: To fulfill the purpose a qualitative case study has been carried out within the Swedish railway industry, focusing on rail vehicle procurement. READ MORE
