Full textI denna rapport beskrivs ett examensarbete inom teknisk design som utförts på Kiruna Wagon mot Luleå Tekniska Universitet under våren 2018. Projektet gick ut på att utveckla en ny låsningsmekanism till dörrarna till en av Kiruna Wagons kommande produkter som kallas för Side Dumper. För att hitta den ideala lösningen användes en iterativ och prototypfokuserad designprocess, som delas upp i fyra huvudfaser. Initialt genomfördes en fördjupning i kontexten som rör projektet, följt av en litteraturstudie där den teoretiska grunden för projektet fastställs. En designspecifikation fastslås som fungerar som stöd för design och utvärdering under hela projektet. I ideate-fasen utnyttjades befintliga krafter på lossningsstationen som en bas för idéarbetet. En stor idébank skapades, som kontinuerligt divergerades och konvergerades genom många iterationscykler av design, utvärdering och lärande. När fem koncept hade utvecklats, behövde deras funktioner verifieras. Detta genomfördes i develop-fasen, där flera utmaningar uppstod. Utmaningarna hanterades huvudsakligen genom beräkningar, prototyper och genom att återställa koncept till lösningsprinciper. Slutligen verifierades två återstående lösningar, lösning B och lösning C, i deliver-fasen genom beräkningar, CAD-modellering och en genom att tillverka en skalenlig funktionell prototyp i stål. Prototypen testades och utvärderades för att slutligen kunna levereras till Kiruna Wagon. Rapporten avslutas med att diskutera och ge slutsatser kring metodval, process och resultat, och beskriver fortsatt arbete för att kunna implementera produkten i framtiden.

Fischhaber, Pamela Marie. "Development of light rail crossing specific crash prediction models." Thesis, University of Colorado at Denver, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3621825.
Full textExisting railroad crossing crash prediction and hazard index equations are analyzed and found to inadequately measure safety at light rail crossings. The operational characteristics of common carrier freight and commuter railroads are different enough from the operational characteristics of light rail to affect the ability of existing railroad equations to accurately predict the number of crashes that occur at light rail crossings. These operational differences require light rail specific crash prediction equations to better predict crash numbers at light rail crossings. The goal of this research is to develop a method to measure safety at light rail crossings.
Through review of the literature describing different statistical methodologies that have been used to develop railroad crossing crash prediction and hazard index equations, the use of a nonlinear regression method to predict initial crash values with an Empirical Bayes Method adjustment to account for the actual crash history at the light crossing is determined to be the optimum model development method.
Operational alignment and configuration of light rail crossings are analyzed, and each is found to have some effect on the prediction of the number of crashes that occur at light rail crossings in addition to light rail vehicle volume, motor vehicle volume, sight obstructions, presence of a residential area near the light rail crossing, and the number of motor vehicle lanes crossing the crossing. Statistically valid models are developed to predict crashes based on light rail crossing alignment type, configuration type, and method of crossing control including traffic signals, flashing lights with gates, and passive signing. Sufficient data to develop a prediction equation for flashing light control is not available for this study.
The use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) models is determined to be a benefit in use of application of the light rail specific crash number prediction equations. GIS models can be used not only to predict the number of crashes expected to occur at a light rail crossing, but also can be used to identify and analyze light rail crossing crash trends.

The objective of this thesis is to improve the accuracy of individual freight train run time predictions defined as the time between departure from an origin node to arrival at a destination node not including yard time. A correlation analysis is conducted to identify explanatory variables that capture predictable sources of delay and influence run times for use in a regression model. A regression model is proposed utilizing the following explanatory variables: rolling historical average, congestion window, meets, passes, overtakes, direction, arrival headway, and departure headway to predict train run times. The performance of the proposed regression model is compared against a baseline simple historical averaging technique for a two year period of actual train operational data. The proposed regression model, though subject to specific limitations, offers substantial improvements in accuracy over the baseline technique and is recommended as justifying further exploration by the railroad to ultimately enable more accurate train schedules with subsequent improvements in railroad capacity, customer service, and asset utilization.

Full textWorried voices in the Swedish road maintenance and operations industry claim that innovations and technical development has ceased in the last decades. One hypothesis is that it is an effect of the public tendering reform introduced in 1992. Since 2001, the Swedish railroad industry has also introduced public tendering and awarded contracts to private contractors. This study examines the validity of these claims by analyzing the incentives to innovation in the past and at present. The analysis is concluded by proposals how the innovative climate can be improved between the road and rail administrations and their contractors.

Full textTransportsektorn är en viktig del av dagens samhälle och står för 20% av den totala globala energiförbrukningen. Det är också en av de sektorer med mest växthusgasutsläpp, där nästan 95% av energin härstammar från petroleumbaserade bränslen. På grund av växthusgasers potentiellt skadliga karaktär finns det ett behov för en övergång till mer hållbara transportmedel. En möjlig alternativ till den konventionella petroleumbaserade vägtransporten är implementering av elektriska vägsystem (ERS) i kombination med elfordon. Elektriska vägsystem är system som möjliggör dynamisk kraftöverföring till fordon från vägarna de kör på. Sålunda kan man genom att använda ERS i kombination med elbilar, minimera både kostnaden och vikten av batterierna samt även minska eller eliminera antalet stopp för omladdningar. Dessutom möjliggör detta system att även tunga fordon kan använda sig av batterilösningar. Det finns för närvarande i princip tre beprövade ERS-tekniker, nämligen konduktiv kraftöverföring genom luftledningar, konduktiv kraftöverföring från räls i vägen och induktiv kraftöverföring genom vägen. Syftet med denna rapport är att utvärdera och jämföra potentialen för en fullskalig implementering av dessa ERS-teknik på en global och lokal (Sverige) nivå från, framförallt, ett ekonomiskt- och ekologiskt perspektiv. Rapporten syftar också till att undersöka, med hjälp av olika scenarier, hur en utbyggnad av ERS i Sverige skulle kunna se ut fram till år 2050. För att besvara dessa frågor producerades två huvudmodeller (global och lokal perspektiv) med kompletterande undermodeller i Excel. De erhållna resultaten visar att ERS inte är lönsamt ur ett ekonomisk perspektiv i precis alla de undersökta länder, dock har ett stort antal länder i världen visat sig ha goda förutsättningar för ERS. Vidare visar resultaten att små och/eller utvecklade länder är bäst lämpade för ERS. Ur ett ekonomiskt- och ekologiskt perspektiv har konduktiv kraftöverföring från räls i väg tekniken visat sig vara den mest attraktiva, följt av konduktiv kraftöverföring genom luftledningar och induktiv kraftöverföring genom väg teknikerna. Expansionsmodellen som utvecklats visar att en snabb expansion och implementation av en ERS-baserad vägtransportsektor är det bästa alternativet, där tekniken för konduktiv kraftöverföring från räls i väg ger de största kostnadsbesparingar fram till 2050.

Full textDespite the Brazilian continental scale, the magnitude of its coastline and the proximity between the coast and the large urban centers, the transport of cargo in containers using cabotage is still very limited in Brazil. In this scenario, the Brazilian cabotage ship-owners seek to provide door-to-door services, achieving economies of scale in procurement for suppliers that perform road ends, thus increasing the competitiveness of cabotage with its main competitor, the transportation by trucks. This work presents two models that aim to minimize the total cost of hiring road suppliers to a list of demands that must be performed. The first is a mathematical model based on integer linear programming, the second is an algorithm that uses a greedy heuristic. The models were developed and tested in real scenarios, experienced by a Brazilian cabotage ship-owner for a period of time. The results of the two models, which are compared among each other and with the manually solutions performed by the company’s employees, show that the solutions of optimization models are much better than the manual solutions. The results also show that the greedy algorithm achieves very close results to the exact method, proving to be very useful given the ease of its implementation.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: In recent years, the management of physical assets has become increasingly important, even more so, in asset intensive organisations. This research work presents an overall approach to quantify reliability of rolling stock assets in the rail environment. The current maintenance management system in the case studied is over-reliant on cancellations and delays as reliability measure. The objectives of this study were, therefore, to develop a scientific approach to quantify the reliability of the rolling stock fleet and to develop a maintenance planning model based on system reliability. The research methodology followed made use of failure statistics, failure distributions and the interdependence of different systems to determine the impact of component failures on the overall system reliability. This could then be used to determine the reliability of individual train sets in order to better understand their performance. The reliability measure could be used for predicting component and train set failures as well as to better understand the contribution of maintenance towards reliability, hence the term Reliability Based Maintenance. The model, validated with real data, illustrates how the reliability measure can be used to determine maintenance intervals of different train sets. Based on the results, recommendations are made in relation to future planning of the maintenance strategy.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die bestuur van fisiese bates het in die afgelope tyd meer belangrik geword, veral in organisasies wat afhanklik is van hulle fisiese bates. Hierdie navorsing stel ‘n metode voor wat die betroubaarheid van rollende materiaal bates in die spoor bedryf kwantifiseer deur gebruik te maak van falingstatistiek. In die huidige instandhouding bestuurstelsel van die gevallestudie word daar te veel gesteun op kansellasies en vertragings van treine as ‘n betroubaarheids meting. Daarom was die doelwitte van die navorsing om ‘n wetenskaplike benadering te ontwikkel om betroubaarheid van rollende materiaal the kwantifiseer, en om ‘n instandhouding beplannings model voor te stel, gebaseer op sisteem betroubaarheid. Die navorsingsmetodologie is gebaseer op falingstatistieke, falingverspreidings, en die interafhanklikheid van stelsels word gebruik om die invloed van komponent falings op die betroubaarheid van die totale stelsel te bepaal. Hierdie benadering word dan gebruik om die betroubaarheid van individuele treinstelle en die werksverrigting van individuele trainstelle te bepaal. Hierdie instandhouding meting kan gebruik word om falings van komponente en treinstelle te voorspel, asook om die bydrae van instandhouding tot betroubaarheid beter te verstaan, daarom genoem Betroubaarheids Gebaseerde Instandhouding. Dit is ook geïllustreer hoe die betroubaarheid meting gebruik kan word om instandhouding intervalle te bepaal. Die betroubaarheid model is met werklike data gevalideer en aanbevelings word gemaak hoe om betroubaarheid te gebruik om die toekomstige beplanning van instandhouding te doen.

Full textThe recession of the early 1990’s marked the starting point for a transformation of the Swedish transportation industry. Cost oriented production techniques by the industry’s customer increased demand on swiftness, reliability and flexibility in transportation services. This development has continued ever since which in turn has continuously increased the rates of harmful discharges of emissions. The research is performed on the Swedish plastic industry and examines the relationship between environmental sustainability, lead time and cost when selecting road carrier for transportations. The main purpose is to examine to what extent environmental concerns are taken into account when deciding over distribution and furthermore, whether there exist potential and ambitions for improvements. Out of theories concerning transportation modal choice, four points of interest constitutes the basis for the empirical gathering; prioritization of selection determinants, environmental requirements in procurement of transportation services, use of rail freight and acceptable cost levels for implementing environmental sustainability. The study shows that the market of the Swedish plastic industry is driven by price competition and constant pressure from international trade. Naturally, cost is considered to be the foremost selection determinant in terms of transportation modal choice, followed by reliability and lead time. Furthermore, the study shows that environment is of low priority in respect to the other selection determinants. Although the current market condition diminishes the possibilities for changes, there exists a general ambition to become more environmental within the distribution activities. A majority of the respondent firms could potentially accept levels of increased transportation costs which balance with the costs of guaranteeing environmental sustainability in road transportations.
In reference to increased environmental ambitions, three conclusions can be drawn. The relationship between environmental sustainability, lead time and cost allow for environmental improvements if lead time can be extended to the maximum conceivable limit of the market. Furthermore, the price competition of the market makes own initiatives impossible in terms of raising price for transportations; environmental sustainability in road transportation must therefore be preceded by demand for such. Finally, it can be concluded that environmental improvements cannot be achieved single handedly; costs must be evenly distributed among the suppliers, customers and haulers.

Public transportation is an effective tool to tackle many urban transportation problems. Due to its higher capacity and reliability, rail transit often serves as the main means to connect major trip origins and destinations in a metropolitan area. We have witnessed that rail transit systems continue to be built or extended in cities around the world, including the cities in the U.S. As transit supply increases, planning concepts such as Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) seek to integrate urban environment with transit systems in order to promote transit use. Traditionally it is thought that people's travel behavior is shaped by travel time or monetary costs only, but the emergence of many recent studies suggests that the built environment also plays a role in people's travel decisions. This research examines the relationship between rail transit station ridership and the factors categorized into three groups: transportation system, built environment, and socio-demographics. The stations of Boston's rail transit system are analyzed. The method used is the direct demand approach with OLS regression. Bootstrapping and spatial regression are also used as enhanced models. Variables concerning each station as well as the station catchment area were considered and tested. This research finds that factors related to transportation system, land use, pedestrian environment, and socio-demographics are important. Different combinations of predictors are found during different time periods, reflecting the temporal difference in travel patterns. The findings of this research are in line with the TOD concept that certain elements of the built environment, such as higher levels of employment and population in the station area, and a more walkable environment, are associated with increased transit ridership. The results could lend support to future transit line planning, the design of neighborhood road networks, and land use policy-making.
