  1. 16. Electrification of Last-Mile Transport : A Study of Charging Infrastructure and Collaborative Business Model

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Elin Johansson; Marcus Rostmark; [2022]
    Keywords : Electrification; electric vehicles; last-mile; charging infrastructure; risk analysis; collaborative business models; Elektrifiering; elfordon; sista milen; laddinfrastruktur; riskanalys; kollaborativ affärsmodell;

    Abstract : Electrification of the transport sector is an important step in reducing the global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs), electric vehicles (EVs) produce no tail-pipe emissions and could be coupled with responsible energy production from renewable energy sources to reduce coupled emissions of their operation.

  3. 17. Data-Driven Motion Planning : With Application for Heavy Duty Vehicles

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Oscar Palfelt; [2022]
    Keywords : Motion planning; Deep learning; Autonomous driving; Nonuniform sampling; Rörelseplanering; Djupinlärning; Autonom körning; Ojämn provtagning;

    Abstract : Motion planning consists of finding a feasible path of an object between an initial state and a goal state, and commonly constitutes a sub-system of a larger autonomous system. Motion planners that utilize sampling-based algorithms create an implicit representation of the search space via sampling said search space. READ MORE

  4. 18. Development of a Power Hardware-in-the-Loop Test Rig for Gas Hydraulic Suspension in Heavy Duty Vehicles

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fluida och mekatroniska system

    Author : Malte Kristensson; Jesper Hassel; [2022]
    Keywords : PHiL; Power Hardware in the Loop; Simulation; Vehicle model; Simulink; Test rig; Real-time; Hydraulic;

    Abstract : In this thesis a Power-Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHiL) test rig is developed forhydro-pneumatic suspension by utilizing the physical suspension unit together with asimulated vehicle model in MATLAB Simulink. Power-Hardware-in-the-Loop is the termfor combining simulation models with power-transmitting hardware components inreal-time. READ MORE

  5. 19. Life Cycle Assessment of Electric Road Systems - Climate impact in comparison with battery electric vehicles, biogas vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

    Author : Ebba Söderström; Emanuel Bengtsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Electric road systems; Elonroad; life cycle assessment; rail; feed-in station; pick-up; on-board charger; climate impact; global warming potential; articulated lorry; lower medium car; bus; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : One third of Sweden's total annual greenhouse gas emissions originate from the transport sector today and great changes are thus needed in order to reach the net zero emission target by 2045. One of the most important measures discussed is an increased electrification of the transport sector and a solution with potential to contribute to this transition is electric road systems (ERS), where vehicles are charged dynamically.

  6. 20. Strategies for regional deployment of hydrogen infrastructure : The case of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

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

    Author : Roberto Di Molfetta; [2022]
    Keywords : Hydrogen; Infrastructure rollout; Supply chain pathways; Mobility; Hydrogen buses.;

    Abstract : In response to the growing urge towards decarbonisation, more and more initiatives have been set to reduce and/or compensate the level of CO2 (carbon dioxide) emitted by human activities, which is one of the main responsible of the incumbent threats of “global warming” and “climate change”. “Climate neutrality by 2050” has become a decisive topic for political agendas worldwide and, against that background, the hydrogen economy can play a significant role.
