  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. A Method for Optimizing for Charging Cost in Electric Vehicle Routing

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap och medieteknik (DVMT)

    Author : Matthew Lehrer; [2023]
    Keywords : Electric Vehicle Routing; Electric Vehicles; Shortest Path Problem with Constraints; EV; Charging Stations; Cost Optimization;

    Abstract : Adoption of electric vehicles has been restrained by the availability of charging stations and consumer fear of being stranded with a depleted battery, far from the nearest charger. In many areas of the world, charging stations are now widely available and the transition from vehicles with internal combustion engines is accelerating, though still in a fairly early stage.

  4. 3. Heuristic Clustering Methods for Solving Vehicle Routing Problems

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Georgios Nordqvist; Erik Forsberg; [2023]
    Keywords : optimization; vehicle routing problem; sweep clustering; k-means clustering; hierarchical clustering;

    Abstract : Vehicle Routing Problems are optimization problems centered around determining optimal travel routes for a fleet of vehicles to visit a set of nodes. Optimality is evaluated with regard to some desired quality of the solution, such as time-minimizing or cost-minimizing. READ MORE

  5. 4. When is Electric Freight Cost Competitive? : Computational modeling and simulation of total cost of ownership for electric truck fleets

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för ekonomisk och industriell utveckling

    Author : Anton Zackrisson; [2023]
    Keywords : electric freight; battery-electric trucks; total cost of ownership; decision making under deep uncertainty DMDU ; cost-competitiveness; exploratory modeling and analysis EMA ; EMA workbench; quasi-Monte Carlo method; VRP; EVRP; elektrifiering; godstransport; elektriska lastbilar; total ägandekostnad; kostnadskonkurrenskraft; ruttoptimering;

    Abstract : Battery electric trucks (BETs) offer environmental benefits in terms of reduced carbon emissions and enhanced energy efficiency but have been challenged with economic viability compared to conventional internal combustion engine trucks (ICETs) caused by substantial acquisition costs, limited charging infrastructure, and concerns regarding range and payload capacity.  Previous studies focus on TCO at the vehicle or policy level but overlook the system and firm-level impacts.

  6. 5. Randomized heuristic scheduling of electrical distribution network maintenance in spatially clustered balanced zones

    University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

    Author : Carolina Offenbacher; Ellen Thornström; [2022]
    Keywords : Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem; Electrical distribution network; Heuristic algorithm; Scheduling; Handelsresandeproblemet; Eldistributionsnätverk; Heurustik algortim; Schemaläggning;

    Abstract : Reliable electricity distribution systems are crucial; hence, the maintenance of such systems is highly important, and in Sweden strictly regulated. Poorly planned maintenance scheduling leads unnecessary driving which contributes to increased emissions and costs. READ MORE
