    Abstract : Due to the increase in demand on freight transportation it becomes necessary to avoid delays to ensure that the goods reach its destination on time. The main factors causing disturbances in the traffic on the mainline is the breakdown of vehicles mainly due to damaged wheels. READ MORE

  5. 4. Sensitivity analysis of pluvial flood modelling tools for dense urban areas : A case study in Lundby-Lindholmen, Gothenburg

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Johanna Eriksson; [2020]
    Keywords : Flood Modelling; MIKE FLOOD; Sensitivity Analysis;

    Abstract : As a result of the global climate change, extreme precipitation is occurring more frequently which increases the risk of flooding, especially in urban areas. Urbanisation is widely discussed regarding urban flooding where an increase of impervious surfaces limits the infiltration and increases the surface runoff. READ MORE

  6. 5. Investigate the track gauge widening on the Iron-ore line and suggest maintenance limits

    University essay from KTH/Spårfordon

    Author : Jesper Flodin; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Iron ore export remains a major player in the Swedish economy to date, with 90% of all iron ore produced in Europe stemming from the relatively small northern country. A large amount of this ore is transported from the mines to harbours for world-wide freight on railways. READ MORE
