  1. 16. Towards environmentally sustainable freight transport: shippers' logistics actions to improve load factor performance

    Författare :Vendela Santén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sustainability; systems approach; shipper; logistics activities; links; performance; load factor; freight transport; environment; actions;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis is to explain how shippers’ logistics actions contribute to environmentally sustainable freight transport, by clarifying the link between logistics activities and the resulting load factor performance. Five studies have been undertaken, which have given rise to six papers. LÄS MER

  3. 17. A sustainability perspective on urban freight transport: Factors and incentives affecting local authorities in the planning procedure

    Författare :Maria Lindholm; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sustainable transport; urban freight transport; freight transport planning;

    Sammanfattning : Freight transport has a minor role in the transport planning procedures in most cities, although the transport operations of freight represent a heavy part of important emissions. Earlier studies in the area show that there is an existing problem mainly based on literature reviews and discussion groups. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Application of Predictive Analytics for Shunting Yard Delays

    Författare :Niloofar Minbashi; Markus Bohlin; Behzad Kordnejad; Carl-William Palmqvist; Paola Pellegrini; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Shunting yards; train delays; machine learning; simulation; freight transport; Godsbangårdar; tåg förseningar; maskininlärning; simulering; godstransport; Transportsystem; Transport Systems;

    Sammanfattning : Increasing the modal share of rail freight transport is one of the main ways to achieve carbon neutrality in Europe. The perceived low reliability and predictability of rail freight services is one of the main challenges to overcome in reaching this target. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Enabling sustainable development of urban freight from a local authority perspective

    Författare :Maria Lindholm; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; transport planning; stakeholders; urban freight transport; freight partnerships; mechanisms; sustainability; local authorities;

    Sammanfattning : On the path towards sustainability for the urban area, local authorities make decisions that affect freight transport. However, local authorities might not always be aware of the effect their decisions and policy making have on freight transport and its stakeholders. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Access management for road hauliers and rail operators in intermodal freight terminals

    Författare :Stefan Jacobsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; rail operators; turnaround times; intermodal freight transport; information exchange; road hauliers; information services; intermodal freight terminals; Access management;

    Sammanfattning : A pivotal element in the transport industry, intermodal freight transport, is rather complex due to the numerous transport modes and actors involved. Terminal operators in intermodal freight transport face major challenges to provide seamless flows of containers via their terminals. LÄS MER
