  1. 1. Towards Sustainable Transport: A case study on modal shift for temperature-controlled goods between northern Norway and central Europe

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

    Author : Love Kristoffersson; Etienne Skowronski; [2023-07-03]
    Keywords : road-rail transport; temperature-controlled goods; cross-border; modal shift; transportation network;

    Abstract : In line with the ambitious sustainability goals set by the European Union to reduce transport emissions, there is a growing interest for sustainable freight transport across Europe. Rail transportation has emerged as a preferred mode of choice for shippers and freight forwarders, given its sustainability advantage of transporting larger volumes on longer distances. READ MORE

  3. 2. Influence of load distribution on trough bridges

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

    Author : Jacob Gustafsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Bridge; Trough bridge; Concrete; Load distribution; Ballast;

    Abstract : There are approximately 4000 railway bridges in Sweden and a common construction type is the short span concrete trough bridge. With the current standards the load distribution through ballast is assumed to be uniformly distributed with a distribution slope of 2:1 according to the Swedish Administration of Transport or 4:1 according to Eurocode 1.

  4. 3. Modified train wheel wear calculation for fast calculation

    University essay from KTH/Spårfordon

    Author : Shaoyao Chen; [2021]
    Keywords : Precise contact point detection; Material Flexibility; Multiple contact points detection; Winkler theory; wear calculation; fast calculation; Exakt detektion av kontaktpunkter; materialflexibilitet; detektering av flera kontaktpunkter; Winkler-teori; förslitningsberäkning; snabb beräkning;

    Abstract : In this thesis, a modified wear calculation method is developed to calculate the train wheel wear, which can give less precise but faster results compared to the classic wear calculation method. This modified method is developed based on the classic wear calculation method developed by Jendel, which uses Hertz theory and Kalker’s simplified theory to calculate the contact variables and uses Achard theory to calculate the wear volume in an iterative manner.

  5. 4. An Initial Analysis of Slurry Transportation in Subarctic Environment

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Wilhelm Friberg; [2021]
    Keywords : Slurry Transport;

    Abstract : In today’s economy, it is important to have a sustainable business model where as little as possible goes to waste or finding solutions to create something useful out of by-products. Therefore, LKAB are looking to make a large investment into creating an infrastructure of several plants to turn tailings from the production of iron ore into usable products for several industries which LKAB has designated project ReeMAP (Rear Earth Elements and MonoAmmonium Phosphate).

  6. 5. Multi-Criteria Analysis of the proposed Hyperloop transport project in Northern Holland

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Yogesh Sane; [2020]
    Keywords : Hyperloop; Multi-Criteria Analysis; Sustainable Transport; Fifth Mode of Transport; Emerging Technology; Hyperloop; Flerkriterieanalys; Hållbar transport; Femte transportsättet; Emerging Technology;

    Abstract : New technological advancements such as the “Hyperloop” touted as “the fifth mode of transport” could be an answer to the problems ailing the current transport industry. Hyperloop consists of transport pods running through low pressure tubes for the high speed(upto 1000 km/hr) transportation of goods and people. READ MORE
