  1. 6. Evaluating a Carbon Tax : France as a Case Study - CO2 Emissions from Cars

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Fredrik Söderlund; [2022]
    Keywords : Carbon Tax; Carbon Component; French Carbon tax; Synthetic Control Method;

    Abstract : This quasi-experimental study is the first to evaluate the French experience of adding a carbon tax directly onto existing taxes on fossil fuel consumption by performing an econometric case study. Furthermore, the introduction of the French carbon tax resulted in the so called “yellow vests protests”, the protests acted as a catalyst, and further stressed the need to evaluate environmental taxes, not only in relation to combating global warming but also regarding the procedures of providing information to the public.

  3. 7. Periodic Inhalation of Carbon Monoxide Prior to Repeated Sprint Training – a Nuanced Way for Improving Repeated Sprint Ability

    University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för fysisk aktivitet och hälsa

    Author : Christoffer Sundqvist; [2022]
    Keywords : Endurance; Cycling; high-intensity interval training; Repeated sprint ability; Repeated sprint exercise; Carbon monoxide.;

    Abstract : Background: Repeated sprint training in hypoxia has shown to be superior to training in normoxia. However, both natural and simulated altitude training are strategies that are not always accessible and expensive due to traveling or the need for advanced equipment. READ MORE

  5. 9. Economic Effects of Megaprojects on Income Levels - Empirical Evidence from a Case Study of the Channel Tunnel and the United Kingdom

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

    Author : Julius Meyer; [2022]
    Keywords : Channel Tunnel; International Fixed Link; Megaproject; Synthetic Control Method; United Kingdom;

    Abstract : Although the number of megaprojects implemented worldwide is increasing, there are still only a few significant international infrastructure megaprojects such as bridges or tunnels between countries. Due to cost explosions and overly optimistic forecasts for the use of bridges or tunnels, cost-benefit analyses often turn out to be negative. READ MORE

  6. 10. Benchmarking algorithms and methods for task assignment of autonomous vehicles at Volvo Autonomous Solutions

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Kommunikations- och transportsystem; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Jonas Berglund; Ida Gärling; [2022]
    Keywords : Autonomous Vehicles; Mixed Integer Linear Programming; Genetic Algorithm; Task Assignment; Multi-Robot Task Allocation;

    Abstract : For unmanned vehicles, autonomy means that the vehicle’s route can be planned and executed according to some pre-defined rules in the absence of human intervention. Autonomous vehicles (AVs) have become a common type of vehicle for various kinds of transport, for example autonomous forklifts within a warehouse environment. READ MORE
