  1. 1. Evaluation of Deep Q-Learning Applied to City Environment Autonomous Driving

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Signaler och system

    Author : Jonas Wedén; [2024]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; ML; Reinforcement Learning; RL; Neural Network; Deep Learning; Autonomous Vehicle; Vehicle; CARLA; Convolutional Neural Network; CNN; Precisit; Q-learning; Deep Q-learning; DQN;

    Abstract : This project’s goal was to assess both the challenges of implementing the Deep Q-Learning algorithm to create an autonomous car in the CARLA simulator, and the driving performance of the resulting model. An agent was trained to follow waypoints based on two main approaches. READ MORE

  3. 2. Space Utilization in Road Transportation: A Case Study of Truck Deliveries

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

    Author : Marija Nikolova; Sirious Nterai; [2023-07-03]
    Keywords : Distribution; Emissions; Packaging; Truck deliveries; Space Utilization; Space Optimization;

    Abstract : Aim: To understand why big logistics companies do not focus their resources on improving space utilization and decreasing the phenomenon of empty running. Moreover, this study aims to present the potential economic and environmental benefits of reduced excess air in packaging and its effect on truck deliveries. READ MORE

  4. 3. Battery profit optimization

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

    Author : Ebba Helfer; [2023]
    Keywords : Battery; 2nd life battery; Ancillary services; BESS; energy storage system; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In the near future, a new market will form full of 2nd life batteries that are no longer suitable to use in electric vehicles. This since their capacity retention is too low after a few years of usage, as a consequence of two aging mechanisms; cycling aging and calendar aging. READ MORE

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. 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.
