1. 11. Steering green buses : The opportunities and challenges of introducing renewable fuel in public transport

   Författare :Malin Aldenius; Miljö- och energisystem; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Public transport; Renewable fuel; Electric buses; Sustainable transport; Green public procurement; Environmental requirements;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to compare and analyse the introduction of renewable fuel in the public transport sector, focusing on the challenges and opportunities encountered by involved stakeholders on the regional and local levels. The results contribute to answering three research questions: 1) How do organisational factors and local and regional contextual factors influence the introduction of renewable fuel? 2) What are the challenges and opportunities of using green public procurement as a policy tool to introduce renewable fuel in the public transport sector? 3) How do the challenges and opportunities regarding the introduction of renewable fuel differ depending on the type of renewable fuel? Four papers are included in the thesis. LÄS MER

3. 12. Public transport demand and supply management under uneven passenger distributions

   Författare :Soumela Peftitsi; Erik Jenelius; Oded Cats; Achille Fonzone; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; public transport; uneven passenger distribution; transit assignment model; travel behavior; control measures; crowding information; skip-stop; Transportsystem; Transport Systems;

   Sammanfattning : Overcrowding in public transport (also known as public transportation, public transit, or transit) systems due to increased travel mobility has become a major problem for public transport operators. Overcrowded transit stations and vehicles are connected to travel time variability and greater discomfort for the passengers. LÄS MER

4. 13. Improving the Efficiency of Public Procurement : Empirical evidence using micro-level contract data

   Författare :Ivan Ridderstedt; Hans Lööf; Jan-Eric Nilsson; Kristofer Odolinski; Sofia Lundberg; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Public procurement; public sector efficiency; auction design; award mechanisms; bundling; transport infrastructure; public transport; Nationalekonomi; Economics;

   Sammanfattning : Among OECD countries, close to one-third of government expenditure is allocated using public procurement. This implies that the skill of public authorities in handling the procurement format has a significant impact on how much the public sector accomplish in relation to their goals and responsibilities.

5. 14. Urban Mobility Transitions : Governing through Experimentationin Bristol and New York City

   Författare :Emilia Smeds; Jenny McArthur; Helena Titheridge; Tim Schwanen; Yvonne Rydin; University College London Engineering and Public Policy Technology Department of Science; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; transport; transitions; urban governance; experimentation; mobility;

   Sammanfattning : Transitions away from car-dominance is one of the key debates in urban research, policy and practice today. Car-free public space, cycling and convenient public transport services are widely seen as desirable, yet the reconfiguration of our streets and transport networks has been incremental. LÄS MER

7. 15. Public transport meets smart mobility : Roles and relationships shaping driverless shuttles and MaaS

   Författare :Kelsey Oldbury; Karolina Isaksson; Christina Lindkvist; Sara Brorström; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Smart mobility; public transport; governance; planning; Mobility as a Service; driverless shuttles; Urbana och regionala studier; Urban and Regional Studies;

   Sammanfattning : This licentiate thesis investigates the development of two aspects of smart mobility, driverless shuttles and Mobility as a Service (MaaS) in relation to public transport. Smart mobility has emerged as a term to describe and label a group of changes unfolding in the transport sector, such as the role out of automated vehicles, electrification, the spread of platforms and new types of shared services,as well as new concepts to integrate multiple forms of mobility, often referred toas Mobility as a Service (or MaaS).
