  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.

  4. 3. Identification and evaluation of solutions for long-haul electric road freight.

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Logistik- och kvalitetsutveckling

    Author : Amanda Lundström; Gustav Lindén; [2023]
    Keywords : Electric road freight; long-haul; TCO; Tripple bottom line;

    Abstract : Road freight transportation is important for the development of the global economy and, at the same time, one of the most destructive businesses when it comes to the environment and human health. As societies evolve, the need for freight transportation increases and the transport demand cannot in a sustainable way be fulfilled with the use of diesel trucks as it is done today. READ MORE

  5. 4. Evaluation of the challenges and opportunities of Vehicle-to-Grid technology and the potential revenue streams for BEV fleet owners and aggregators

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

    Author : Lukas Strandberg; Madeleine Sandberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Vehicle-to-Grid; Grid flexibility; Capacity markets; Barriers; Fordon-till-nätteknologi; Elnätsflexibilitet; Kapacitetsmarknader; Barriärer;

    Abstract : The increasing amount of renewable energy being connected to the power grid, and the intermittent nature of these resources, calls for increased grid flexibility to ensure operational safety and stability. An effective solution to address this need could be through wider implementation of various energy storage technologies. READ MORE

  6. 5. A process to assess fossil-free transport transition pathways and develop a sustainability roadmap for transport purchasers

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Lauren Brach; [2023]
    Keywords : Roadmap; corporate carbon strategy; decarbonisation; transportation; fossil-free; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Most (93%) of the greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector come from road traffic in Sweden which includes passenger and freight transport activity (Trafikverket, 2022). The aim of this thesis was to understand pathways that transport purchasers can pursue to reach the fossil-free transportation goals from manufacturing plant to customer and to develop a process for assessing a market and developing a roadmap for achieving fossil-free transportation.
