  1. 1. Travel behavior of mountain bikers: : A case study on sustainable transportation choices

    University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för ekonomi, geografi, juridik och turism

    Author : Henk Högemann; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Bearing in mind that the car as a mode of transportation is responsible for more than one third of all tourism-related emissions worldwide and that a growing number of destinations offer mountain biking as nature-based tourism product, it becomes relevant to investigate mountain bikers with regarding their travel behavior. Therefore, the aim of this master thesis is to understand the transportation mode choice behavior of mountain bike (MTB) tourists when engaging in mountain bike specific vacation. READ MORE

  3. 2. NH Planetary-Scale Circulation in Troposphere and Stratosphere: A Spectral and Dynamical Perspective

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Michael Konrad Schutte; [2023]
    Keywords : jet stream; Rossby waves; polar vortex; spectral analysis; dynamic systems theory; sudden stratospheric warmings; strong polar vortex events; jetström; Rossbyvågor; polär virvel; spektralanalys; dynamisk systemteori; plötsliga stratosfäriska uppvärmingar; starka polvortexhändelser;

    Abstract : Dynamic Systems Theory (DST) and spectral analysis are employed to study the tropospheric jet stream and the stratospheric polar vortex. The objective is to investigate the relationship between Rossby wave activity and inverse persistence and dimensionality of geopotential height at 250 hPa and 10 hPa, as these two dynamical indicators are expected to show a characteristic behavior of Rossby wave harmonics.

  4. 3. Women's perceived security in shared autonomous vehicles : The impact of identifying co-passengers

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Emma Sundin; [2022]
    Keywords : Shared Autonomous Vehicles; Ride-sharing; Women s Security; Trust; User Authentication; Mobility;

    Abstract : The present thesis aims to establish ideas and technical solutions that can have a positive impact on women's perceived safety while traveling in autonomous vehicles, made for sharing with strangers. The method follows the Design Thinking model which contributes to a user-centered design approach. READ MORE

  5. 4. Microscopic traffic simulation of free-riding cyclists in downhills

    University essay from KTH/Väg- och spårfordon samt konceptuell fordonsdesign

    Author : Jiaxi Chen; Jonathan Lennstring; [2022]
    Keywords : Microscopic simulation; bicycle traffic; modelling; data processing; cyclist’s behaviou; Mikroskopisk simulering; cykeltrafik; modellering; databearbetning; cyklisters beteenden;

    Abstract : A key component of traffic models for simulating bicycle traffic focuses on capturing the interactions between cyclists and the cycling infrastructure. One of the most relevant features of the infrastructure that has a significant impact in bicycle traffic is the gradient of a bicycle path. READ MORE

  6. 5. Tourism Behavior : A study of how tourism behavior effects the social carrying capacity at a destination

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för organisation och entreprenörskap (OE)

    Author : Arktedius Siri; Granbom Ebba; Neuberg Anton; [2020]
    Keywords : Carrying capacity; social carrying capacity; tourism behavior; local s attitude and tourism impacts.;

    Abstract : Today, traveling is a part of most people’s lives. It is known that traveling has many different effects, such as economic and environmental. However, it is less discussed how much tourism affects the social aspects. READ MORE
