  1. 1. Diffusion of Battery Electric Vehicles : The Role of Total Cost of Ownership

    Författare :Jens Hagman; Sofia Ritzèn; Johan Jansson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Total cost of ownership; electric vehicles; e-taxis; vehicle salespeople; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Sammanfattning : Due to their high efficiency, zero tailpipe emissions and possibilities of using renewable electricity, Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) have been proposed as a way to alleviate the negative consequences of transport. However, as with other energy-efficient innovations market uptake or diffusion of BEVs have so far been limited. LÄS MER

  2. 2. Transportation Mission Based Optimization of Heavy Vehicle Fleets including Propulsion Tailoring

    Författare :Toheed Ghandriz; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; optimization; heterogeneous heavy vehicle fleet; optimal energy management; propulsion system tailoring; Automated Driving Systems; electrified propulsion; total cost of ownership; electromobility; transportation mission; fleet sizing;

    Sammanfattning : Over decades freight vehicles were produced for a wide range of operational domains so that vehicle-manufacturers were not concerned much about the actual use-cases of the vehicles. Environmental issues, costumer expectations along with growing demand on freight transport created a competitive environment in providing better transportation solutions. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Agile, Resilient and Cost-efficient Mobile Backhaul Networks : Fundamentals of Network Design and Adaptation

    Författare :Forough Yaghoubi; Marija Furdek; Lena Wosinska; Dipak Ghosal; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :5G; topology design and control; software defined networking; rain disturbance; techno-economic framework; network consistency.; Informations- och kommunikationsteknik; Information and Communication Technology;

    Sammanfattning : The exponentially increasing traffic demand for mobile services requires innovative solutions in both access and backhaul segments of 5th generation (5G) mobile networks. Whilst substantial research efforts address the access segment, the backhaul part has received less attention and still falls short in meeting the stringent requirements of 5G in terms of capacity and availability.

  4. 4. Driverless trucks in the Swedish freight transport system : An analysis of future impacts on the transport system and the emerging innovation system

    Författare :Albin Engholm; Anna Pernestål; Ida Kristoffersson; Maria Oscott; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Driverless Trucks; Automated Driving; Total Cost of Ownership; Freight Transport Modeling; Innovation Systems; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Sammanfattning : A large-scale introduction of driverless trucks could start taking place during the next decade. While this could bring several economic benefits for freight transport actors and society, it may also change the freight transport system and exacerbate the negative effects of road transport.

  5. 5. Does health insurance contribute to improving responsiveness of the health system? : the case of elderly in rural Tanzania

    Författare :Paul Joseph Amani; Miguel San Sebastian; Anna-Karin Hurtig; Isabel Goicolea; Angwara Denis Kiwara; John Porter; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; SAGE; health insurance; healthcare use; older people; community health fund; rural; responsiveness; Tanzania;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Financing healthcare in Tanzania has for years depended on out-of-pocket payments. This mechanism has been criticized as being inefficient, contributing to inequity and high cost as well as denying access to healthcare to those most in need, including the elderly in rural areas.
