  1. 16. Winter Road Maintenance using Renewable Thermal Energy

    Författare :Josef Johnsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydronic pavements; borehole thermal energy storage; winter road maintenance; BRIDGESIM; numerical simulations; BTES; renewable energy;

    Sammanfattning : Winter road maintenance is costly but it is inevitable since it is necessary to keep roads accessible and safe during winter. Current winter road maintenance methods use annually 600 000 tons of salt, in the Nordic countries. The salt ends up in the environment along the roads and results in environmental challenges.

  3. 17. Smart pavement maintenance and infrastructure operation through digital twins : Case study for Norvik Port, Sweden

    Författare :Julian Dario Rodriguez; Nicole Kringos; Romain Balieu; Plati Christina; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pavement management; digital twins; finite element model pavement; infrastructure maintenance.; Vägunderhåll; Digitala tvillingar; Ändliga elementmodeller för vägar; Infrastrukturförvaltning; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Byggvetenskap; Bro- och stålbyggnad; Structural Engineering and Bridges;

    Sammanfattning : There is an urgent need to make the way in which people and goods move more sustainable. Though pavements are one of the key components of road transportation networks and logistics systems, they are usually overlooked in systemic sustainability analyses. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Predictive models for accidents on urban links - A focus on vulnerable road users

    Författare :Thomas Jonsson; Trafik och väg; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Road transport technology; Transportteknik; Transport technology; Teknik; Technological sciences; Stads- och glesbygdsplanering; Town and country planning; speed; links; urban; safety; vulnerable road users; modelling; prediction; crash; traffic safety; accident; Vägtransportteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Much of earlier work on predictive models for accidents has been focused on rural traffic or urban intersections. This work has aimed at identifying and investigating possible improvements to predictive models for accidents on urban links. A special focus has been on the accidents of vulnerable road users.

  5. 19. Ice free roads using hydronic heating pavement with low temperature: Thermal properties of asphalt concretes and numerical simulations

    Författare :Raheb Mirzanamadi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermal properties; slippery condition; hydronic heating pavement; energy harvesting; asphalt concrete; road; anti-icing; finite element method;

    Sammanfattning : A traditional method to mitigate the slippery conditions of a road is to spread out salt and sand on the road surface. However, salting causes corrosion on the road infrastructures, damage to surrounding vegetation and salification of fresh water. Hence, there is a need for alternative solutions to mitigate the slippery conditions. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Large-Scale Road Network Vulnerability Analysis

    Författare :Erik Jenelius; Lars-Göran Matsson; Michael G. H. Bell; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; vulnerability; risk reliability; transport; infrastructure; road network; Other social sciences; Övrig samhällsvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Disruptions in the transport system can have severe impacts for affected individuals, businesses and the society as a whole. In this research, vulnerability is seen as the risk of unplanned system disruptions, with a focus on large, rare events. LÄS MER
