4. 18. Review of ElectricRoad Systems : Both a conventional and innovative technology

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : Sam Schaap; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : A more sustainable society can be accomplished by electrifying the road transportation sector, which the year 2016 emitted 11,9 \% of the global greenhouse emissions. To accelerate this transformation, dynamic charging via electric road systems (ERS) can be implemented, allowing electric vehicles (EV) to become cheaper and achieve lower energy consumption thanks to smaller batteries.

For unprotected road users, the risk of getting in a traffic accident increases and the risk of being more severely injured in an accident. READ MORE

6. 20. Testing the wildland urban interface fire evacuation tool WUI-NITY: A case study of a rural community

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Afroza Mallick; [2021]
   Keywords : WUI-NITY; fire evacuation tool; evacuation; wildland-urban interface.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This thesis makes use of a freely available platform based on multi-physics simulations, named WUI-NITY, to model WUI fire evacuation. This simulation platform includes three sub-models addressing fire spread, pedestrian movement and traffic movement allowing the representation of their interaction to produce outputs useful for dynamic vulnerability assessment.
