Saidani, Michael. "Monitoring and advancing the circular economy transition : Circularity indicators and tools applied to the heavy vehicle industry." Thesis, Université Paris-Saclay (ComUE), 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018SACLC071/document.
Full textImplementing circular economy practices is increasingly acknowledged as a convenient solution to meet the goals of sustainable development. Meanwhile, there is at present no recognized way of measuring how effectively a region or a company is in making the transition to a circular economy, nor holistic monitoring tools for supporting such a process. New methods and tools are required to support industrial practitioners in their transition towards more circular practices, as well as to monitor the effects of circular economy adoption. In absence of regulations addressing the end-of-life management of their fleet, the heavy vehicles industry is both a challenging and promising industrial sector – of huge economic and environmental importance, but barely addressed from a research perspective – that needs to be boosted in its move to a more circular economy. An in-depth preliminary study reveals indeed huge potential to develop circular strategies and solutions in the heavy vehicles sector. This research explores the improvement potential for closing industrial material and components loops.On this basis, the objectives of the present Ph.D. thesis are: to provide an integrated and comprehensive framework to measure, improve and monitor the circularity performance of complex industrial systems; to identify the best mechanisms and action levers to close the loop on heavy vehicles and associated key components - providing thus decision-making support for the end-of-life management of heavy vehicles. At the intersection of design engineering and industrial ecology, this Ph.D thesis - by articles - aims to provide new meaningful insights both for academics and industrial practitioners. In fact, for each chapter, academic publications and industrial deliverables are given, illustrating and disseminating both theoretical contributions and practical implications. For instance, it includes: a proposed taxonomy of circularity indicators and its associated selection tool; an experimentation and critical analysis of several circularity indicators on a heavy vehicle’s key component; the design of a multi-tool methodology to model, simulate and quantify the impact of potential circular strategies; an industrial pilot study on an end-of-life heavy vehicle, dealing with the techno-economic and environmental analysis of possible recovery options

Full textEfterfrågan på godstransporter på väg fortsätter att öka i takt med den växande ekonomin, vilket resulterar i ökad förbrukning av fossila bränslen och ökade utsläpp. Samtidigt behöver användandet av fossila bränslen minska för att motverka den pågående globala uppvärmningen. Ett sätt för att minska bränsleförbrukningen är att utnyttja den teknik kring intelligenta transportsystem som är under utveckling och introducera lastbilskonvojer, det vill säga lastbilar som använder sensorer och regulatorer för att kunna köra med korta avstånd mellan sig. För transportföretag och -myndigheter är det viktigt att undersöka effekterna av att införa lastbilskonvojkörning. Tidigare studier har undersökt de möjliga fördelarna, men effekterna vid körning i trafik, både för konvojerna och för omgivande fordon, är outforskade. För att ytterligare utnyttja intelligenta transportsystem och optimera konvojerna kan information om trafiksituationen längre fram på vägen användas för att optimera konvojernas körning. Artikel I presenterar en optimal hastighetsregulator baserad på dynamisk programmering och som inkluderar information om trafiksituationen längre fram. Den optimala regulatorn appliceras på lastbilskonvojer under ett inbromsningsscenario och den potentiella minskningen i bränsleförbrukning utvärderas genom en mikroskopisk trafiksimuleringsstudie där lastbilskonvojerna kör i verkliga trafikförhållanden. Effekterna för omgivande fordon är också analyserade.Artikel II och artikel III presenterar en simuleringsplattform för att utvärdera effekterna av lastbilskonvojkörning i verkliga trafikförhållanden. Genom simuleringsstudier analyseras den potentiella bränsleförbrukningsminskningen då lastbilskonvojer körs på en verklig motorvägssträcka och effekterna för de övriga fordonen på vägen undersöks.

Full textThe current business environment and continuous changes of technology and customer needs force all companies to re-think about their strategies. Scania is a famous company for producing modular products and the company wants to investigate modularization for other areas such as test rigs these days. Regarding various customer expectations, to adapt quickly to any changes in testing field, applying reconfigurable, modular, and reusable control systems is inevitable.The main goals of this project are to investigate how the existing centralized control system of test beds at Scania can be potentially converted to a modular distributed one, and provide guidelines to support this transformation.A methodology that is called Modularization Assessment Method (MAM) is proposed by the author to produce a modular architecture for the existing control system of test beds inside Scania in Södertälje, Sweden. This created method (MAM) integrates both hardware and software perspectives to find modules boundaries, and investigates the optimal level of control distribution in the test-beds which can be considered as strength points of applying this method.To verify the method, one of the test beds is chosen and be modularized by MAM method as a case study.

Full textDen mötesfria vägen (s.k. 2+1-väg) tillkom på 90-talet och gav upphov till mycket mer trafiksäkra vägar än sina föregångare 13-metersvägarna från mitten av 1900-talet. Till följd av säkerhetsökningen kom uppoffringar i kapacitet i och med vävningssträckor, som mer än halverar kapaciteten i jämförelse med en tvåfilig väg. En mycket kapacitetskrävande del av trafiksystemet är lastbilar, framförallt i dessa vävningssträckor. Men exakt hur lastbilsandelar påverkar systemet är inte riktigt bearbetat än, vilket ger upphov till detta examensarbete. Studien har utförts i samband med ett uppdrag från Trafikverket angående simulering av E4:an norr om Gävle. Detta examensarbete granskar alltså hur lastbilsandelen och belastningsgraden påverkar punkthastigheten på de två vägtyperna mötesfri väg och motorväg. Trafikverket baserar sina effektsamband på en lastbilsandel på 12 %, vilket kan ge både för låga och för höga värden beroende på vilken plats som man granskar. Arbetet har genomförts med hjälp av mikrosimuleringsmodeller, vilka är mycket beroende av vilka parametrar och indata de får. Resultatet av studien visar hur punkthastigheten beror på lastbilsandel och belastningsgrad, och visar på att de mötesfria vägarna är mycket beroende av lastbilsandelen, medan motorvägar har betydligt större tolerans.

Full textA mobilidade é algo que se torna vital e imprescindível numa sociedade. É possível integrar diversos conceitos de mobilidade e de tecnologia em equipamentos e/ou serviços. Atualmente, embora este tipo de conceitos sejam abordados de forma individual, procuram sempre melhorar a qualidade de vida do utilizador, e das pessoas que o rodeiam, e do próprio meio ambiente, sempre com o intuito de o tornar mais eficiente, eficaz e economicamente sustentável. No entanto, vigoram modos de produzir e utilizar os produtos sob estéticas e pressupostos pouco modernos e apelativos, quando comparados com outros de categoria equivalente, não correspondendo na totalidade às demandas e aos anseios de quem pretende usufruir. As sociedades abriram espaço para os veículos autónomos, considerados como o futuro do automóvel e da própria mobilidade, criando novos desafios para os construtores. Neste contexto e beneficiando da constante modernização e alteração do paradigma da mobilidade rodoviária, a presente investigação desenvolveu um veículo pesado para transporte de mercadorias e de condução autónoma com o intuito de otimizar o transporte de bens de consumo nas áreas interurbanas. Esta investigação recairá numa metodologia mista, não-intervencionista e intervencionista de caráter qualitativo. São utilizados métodos não intervencionistas aplicados no estado da arte e estudos de caso, e métodos intervencionistas, aplicados nas entrevistas e na investigação ativa, podendo corroborar as hipóteses levantadas e contribuir para um maior conhecimento nesta área de estudo.
ABSTRACT: Mobility is something that becomes vital and essential in a society. It is possible to integrate several concepts of mobility and technology in equipment and / or services. Currently, although these types of concepts are addressed individually, they always seek to improve the quality of life of the user, and the people around him, and the environment itself, always with the aim of making it more efficient, effective and economically sustainable. However, there are ways to produce and use products under aesthetics and assumptations not very modern and appealing, when compared with others of an equivalent category, not fully meeting the demands and desires of those who want to enjoy them. Societies have opened up space for autonomous vehicles, considered as the future of the automobile and mobility itself, creating new challenges for manufacturers. In this context and benefiting from the constant modernization and alteration of the road mobility paradigm, the present investigation has developed a heavy vehicle for the transport of goods and autonomous driving in order to optimize the transport of consumer goods in the interurban areas. This investigation will fall on a mixed, non-interventionist and qualitative interventionist methodology. Non-interventionist methods applied in the state of the art and case studies are used, and interventionist methods, applied in interviews and active research, which can corroborate the hypotheses raised and contribute to greater knowledge in this area of study.

Full textSyftet med denna studie är att jämföra livscykelkostnaden och miljöpåverkan av de befintliga framdrivningssystemen på pendelbåtarna inom Stockholms kollektivtrafik, med batteridrivna system på motsvarande båtar. De befintliga framdrivningssystemen drivs av olika typer av diesel. Studien är uppdelad i flera steg. Först samlas driftsegenskaperna in, såsom bränsleförbrukning, framdrivningseffekt, hastighet, färdtidochframdrivningssystemetsuppbyggnad, etc, på linje 80, som är en del av Stockholms vattenburna kollektivtrafik. För det andra undersöks det befintliga framdrivningssystemet som drivs av diesel eller alternativa bränslen som RME eller HVO och fullt batteridrivna system utifrån energibehovet. För det tredje tillämpas metoderna för kostnadsanalys och livscykelanalys (LCA) för att undersöka hur elektrifieringen av pendelbåtar påverkar ekonomin och miljön. Med hjälp av programmet GaBi 2020, GREET 2020 och andra litteraturstudier utvärderas miljöpåverkan av faserna tillverkning, användning och avfallshantering. Det är totalt 8 scenarier som övervägs, 4 för bränslebaserade och 4 för batteri baserade framdrivningssystem. Hur bra dessa 8 scenarier presterar miljömässigt diskuteras i termer av växthuseffekt (GWP), försurning (AP), övergödning (EP) och marknära ozon (POCP). Den fasen med mest utsläpp, för alla scenarier, är användningsfasen. Framdrivningssystemet som drivs av diesel (scenario 1) används som referens att jämföra de övriga 7 scenarierna mot. Det system som presterar bästa är det som drivs av batterier, med antagandet att elmixen är baserad på vatten-, vind-och kärnkraft, detta motsvarar scenario 7 och 8 med en reduktion av GWP på mer än 98%, AP med 90%, EP med 96% och POCP med 96%. Om vi tittar på den aktuella svenska elmixen (scenario 5 och 6) så är minskningen av GWP, AP, EP och POCP 90%, 80%, 82% respektive 91%. Alternativa bränslen ger också lovande resultat för GWP jämfört med diesel (där råvarans ursprung skapar mest negativa effekter) men bidraget till andra påverkanskategorier är betydligt högre. Med input från företag och miljöutvärderingen kan kostnadsanalysen jämföra kostnaderna för bränslebaserade och batteri baserade framdrivningssystem med olika energikällor. Det batteri baserade systemet modelleras även på 3 utvecklade scenarier för 2 olika typer av batterier. Fartygen i de utvecklade scenarierna laddas oftare än det befintliga batteridrivna fartyget och antalet laddstationer varierar mellan scenarierna. De kostnader som inkluderas i analysen är de initiala kapitalkostnaderna, kostnaden för bränsle/el, underhållskostnader, avfallshanteringskostnader ochutsläppskostnader. Medallakostnaderinkluderadeiberäkningarna är batteri baserade system mer kostnadseffektiva än bränslebaserade system om de körs på svensk elmix, tack vare de lägre kostnaderna för el och utsläpp. Minskningen av den totala kostnaden är mer än 68% när man jämför traditionell diesel med batterisystem, men elens ursprung är mycket viktig.

Tractor operational efficiency is the key for a freight transportation company to fulfill its customer demand and enhance its profitability. That is, it is crucial to develop a comprehensive analytical framework to effectively evaluate the tractor operational efficiency and to suggest improvement directions. However, the tractor operational efficiency assessment involves complex multiple inputs and outputs, each of which can hardly represent the efficiency of a given tractor. Therefore, this study aims to utilize Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) modeling method to evaluate the tractor operational efficiencies using multiple inputs (fuel consumption, maintenance & repair expenses, driver salaries, and empty kilometers) and outputs (loads, revenue, load kilometers, and days of transport assignment). This study follows action research method and work closely with F freight transport firm to extract its domain knowledge on the tractor operations and investigate their managerial insights. The research findings show that maintenance & repair expenses, empty kilometers, and loads are main factors to the low operational efficiencies. Management should follow up and clarify root causes based on the poor performing input and output factors. Last but not the least, F company should design a better system for the tractor operational efficiency management to motivate the tractor efficiency improvement and bring up overall company-wise and fleet-wise operating performance. Keywords: Tractor, Tractor Operational Efficiency, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)

In Taiwan, transportation industry plays an important role in transporting passengers and cargos. Due to offshoring of manufacturing industry, decreasing demand of import and export, and rising of operating costs in the transport operators, most of transport operators just hold balance between making either a profit or a loss, and even need to reduce their fleet size. In passenger transport market, a new choice offered by high-speed rail seriously struck against the road traffic volume. Though increasing tourists from China due to the relaxation of travel regulation have boosted the demand gradually, transport operators end up unprofitably because of intense competition among travel agents. The transportation industry is now at a highly competitive state, thus requirements of improving vehicle uptime and greater emphasis on driving safety have become more important to operators to reduce operational costs and risks and enhance profitability. The research chose the repair and maintenance (R&M) services of heavy vehicles as the research topic because it greatly affects vehicle uptime and driving safety. We reviewed the performance-based logistics (PBL) literature first, and then compared the differences between PBL which is developed by Swedish heavy vehicle suppliers, and the traditional R&M mode used by Taiwanese transport operators according to critical factors when introducing PBL through a case study research approach. Furthermore, we assessed the feasibility of the PBL application model in Taiwan, and offer the directions key stakeholders in Taiwan should follow if PBL model is to be introduced successfully. After collection of secondary data and manager interviews of four cases in different trasnport sectors, a qualitative triangulation analysis is carried out to get more complete and in-depth understanding of the business models of these cases with particular focus on R&M activities. Next, we explored the PBL application feasibility in Taiwan and assessed, based on critical factors affecting PBL model implementation proposed by Agndal et al (2013), the obstacles that might hinder the application of PBL model by case companies. Finally, the development of PBL model in Taiwan transportation industry is explored. In the following, the research findings and results are summarized: 1. There are major differences in R&M operations between Sweden and Taiwan. The former puts great attention on traffic management and driving safety; the latter hands over maintenance jobs to private workshop instead, which makes the vehicle quality unstable. Swedish vehicle suppliers often offer customized contract services based on corporate culture, working conditions and vehicle usage characteristics, and used the vehicle performance as valuation standards; while vehicle suppliers in Taiwan still provide traditional repair and maintenance contracts to transport operators. 2.As to the repair and maintenance models in case companies, most of them use the services of the workshop ran by vehicle suppliers to make sure the quality of vehicles, showing Taiwanese transport operators’ increasing emphasis on the management of the vehicle fleet. In the freight market in Taiwan, the PBL model has been started by D vehicle suppliers. Compared to S vehicle suppliers, D vehicle suppliers is very positive both in developing a comprehensive repair and maintenance facility network and communicating this advanced service concept to the customers. In the future, the number of companies which is willing to adopt heavy vehicle R&M PBL model is expected to increase. 3.More and more transport operators start to emphasize operating vehicle quality in Taiwan. They have carried out preventive driver training and manage R&M operations with intensive attention. If R&M PBL model is introduced by operators, the key portion of fleet management is meant to outsource to the vehicle supplier. It could be a barrier if operators and suppliers do not take long term perspective and develop strategic partnerships. On the other hand, Taiwan’s Europe-based vehicle suppliers must understand the current situation in operators and carry out in-depth analysis with their repair and maintenance data. This might be another barrier due to the need and lack of capable specialist to develop proper analytical model to analyze trade-offs for introducing PBL model. Besides, it is a complicate task to develop a right pricing mechanism for PBL R&M service acceptable to both operators and suppliers. These potential barriers increase the complexity when in the PBL development process, as well as reduce the willingness of both parties to adopt PBL model in Taiwan.
