  1. 16. Autonomous transportation for a Swedish production facility : Mapping the technological and regulatory hurdles

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik, konst och samhälle

    Author : Karl Fredriksson; [2021]
    Keywords : AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES; AUTONOMOUS TRUCKS; ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE; INQUIRY; TRAFFIC SAFETY; SJÄLVKÖRANDE FORDON; SJÄLVKÖRANDE LASTBILAR; ARTIFICIELL INTELLIGENS; UTREDNINGSARBETE; TRAFIKSÄKERHET;

    Abstract : The technology of autonomous vehicles has the potential to provide a significant number of safety, efficiency and environmental benefits to those who are able to harness it. As such, it is only natural that the company which is the subject of this project should want to explore this field, since the company prides itself on being at the cutting edge of both environmental sustainability and technological advancement.

  2. 17. Green hydrogen production at Igelsta CHP plant : A techno-economic assessment conducted at Söderenergi AB

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

    Author : AXEL ÖHMAN; [2021]
    Keywords : Green hydrogen; Power-to-gas; renewable energy; mixed integer linear programming; Power-to-power; Combined heat and power; district heat; Grön vätgas; Power-to-gas; förnybar energy; mixed integer linear programming; Power-to-power; kraftvärme; fjärrvärme;

    Abstract : The energy transition taking place in various parts of the world will have many effects on the current energy systems as an increasing amount of intermittent power supply gets installed every year. In Sweden, just as many other countries, this will cause both challenges and opportunities for today´s energy producers. READ MORE

  3. 18. LCA of Microgrid System: a Case Study at ‘North-five Islands’ of Changshan Archipelago, China

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

    Author : Jiang Yuning; [2019]
    Keywords : Microgrid system; Life cycle Assessment LCA ; Climate change impact; Greenhouse gas emissions GHG ; China;

    Abstract : Microgrid can provide stable, clean, and sustainable electricity supply for remote places since it can operate on renewable energy sources and work isolated from the utility grid. This thesis evaluates the life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the microgrid system which is located at the ‘North-five Islands’ of Changshan archipelago in China. READ MORE

  4. 19. Development of a conceptual sustainability assessment framework : A sustainability assessment of autonomous vehicles

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

    Author : Philip Torstensson; Victor Goch; [2019]
    Keywords : Sustainability; Assessment; Conceptual Framework; Scenario Planning; Segmentation; Evaluation Theory; Autonomous Vehicles;

    Abstract : Today’s sustainability assessment frameworks are no longer applicable when evaluating the newautomotive vehicles. Therefore, the need for suitable automotive evaluation frameworks increasesas companies and scientists are trying to predict the important sustainability characteristics oftomorrows car and how it will affect our societies.

  5. 20. Intersection coordination for Autonomous Vehicles

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för teknik och samhälle (TS)

    Author : Saif Alhuttaitawi; [2019]
    Keywords : Autonomous Vehicles; Connected Autonomous Vehicles; Poisson distribution; Queuing theory; V2V; V2I; I2V;

    Abstract : Connected Autonomous Vehicles require intelligent autonomous intersection management for safe and efficient operation. Given the uncertainty in vehicle trajectory, intersection management techniques must consider a safety buffer among the vehicles, which must also account for the network and computational delay, queue and determine the best solution to avoid traffic congestions (smart intersection management), in this paper we model traffic by using Poisson distribution method then add a birth-death processes for each state and combine both two in one queuing system (The Markovian chain) to model the traffic.
