{"title":"Towards efficient urban road transport using multimodal traffic management","authors":"Anna Danielsson","doi":"10.3384/9789180756204","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3384/9789180756204","url":null,"abstract":"As travel demand and urbanization increase, they cause road congestion. This results in lost productivity, reduced accessibility, and negative effects on the environment. Solutions to reduce congestion in the transport network include urban traffic management. It could for example be regulating signal control, variable speed limit, and ramp metering, or distributing traveler information about traveltimes and congestion through radio broadcasts, variable message signs, or navigation apps. A multimodal traffic management system utilizes several transportation modes within an integrated system to improve network performance and robustness. Large-scale mobility data from both the public transport network and private vehicles enable a better understanding of multimodal travel patterns. Traffic data can also be used to estimate reliable traffic models that can support evaluation and prioritization of traffic management measures. The aim of the thesis is to identify synergies and challenges of multimodal traffic management. The aim includes analyzing, developing, and evaluating dynamic route choice models that can support multimodal traffic management decisions, using large-scale passive mobility data. First, recent trends are explored in the transition to more efficient road transport, emphasizing the role of monitoring and modeling traffic. Second, related literature is surveyed to identify the potential synergies and challenges of multimodal traffic management. Requirements of data and models in a decision support system that can help to prioritize between multimodal traffic management measures are also identified. Based on these requirements, route choice in the road network is analyzed using GPS trajectory data. This provides insights into how data-driven route choice models can be a component in multimodal traffic management. The thesis contributes to the understanding of how a decision support system for multimodal traffic management can be developed, how route choice modeling can be used in such a tool, and how multimodal traffic management is needed in the transition towards more efficient road transport.","PeriodicalId":303036,"journal":{"name":"Linköping Studies in Science and Technology.

{"title":"Performance Assessment of Long Combination Vehicles using Naturalistic Driving Data","authors":"Abhijeet Behera","doi":"10.3384/9789180755658","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3384/9789180755658","url":null,"abstract":"The deployment of long combination vehicles (LCVs) is currently in progress in Sweden. LCV refers to heavy vehicles that are longer than 25.25 m, which is the conventional length limit in Swedish regulations. LCVs reduce operational costs, improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO 2 emission per ton-km. Despite their numerous advantages, a question that still revolves around these vehicles is how they perform on the road. Although this question has been answered using simulations, an analysis using real traffic data is still missing. This thesis assesses the performance of LCVs using naturalistic driving data (NDD). The performance assessment is done using Performance-based standards (PBS) measures. PBS is a regulatory scheme for heavy vehicles, such as LCVs, that includes performance measures with a quantified required level of performance. The main PBS measures used in this thesis are rearward amplification, low-speed swept path, high-speed transient offtracking, and high-speed steady-state offtracking. Rearward amplification represents the amplification of motions in the rear end of a vehicle combination, which relates to its stability, and the remaining three are indicative of the space that the vehicles occupy in different scenarios. The steering reversal rate is also employed to compute the cognitive workload of the drivers in low-speed scenarios. Two LCV combinations are considered for analysis, namely an A-double composed of a tractor-semitrailer-dolly-semitrailer/tractor-semitrailer-full trailer and a DuoCAT composed of a truck hauling two centre-axle trailers. Four scenarios are of interest to this thesis: lane changes, manoeuvring through roundabouts, turning in intersections and negotiating tight curves. The thesis presents three contributions outlining the analysis methodologies, followed by a discussion of the results obtained from the analysis. The first contribution involves developing an algorithm to extract lane changes from the NDD of LCVs. The algorithm is used against the data obtained from A-doubles. The results indicate that A-doubles adhere to proposed safety limits during lane changes. The second","PeriodicalId":303036,"journal":{"name":"Linköping Studies in Science and Technology.

This context highlights the critical role of urban infrastructure in fostering sustainability, particularly the role of wire-based infrastructure systems (WBIS). The management, maintenance, and renewal of WBIS are vital to ensuring their long-term efficiency, yet they present challenges across technical, environmental, and societal dimensions. The positioning of these systems beneath urban streets introduces complexities, from accelerated wear to costly excavations, with a wide range of environmental consequences. Beyond the physical implications, the financial, policy, and management practices governing WBIS also contribute to their sustainable development challenges. This study, centered on Linköping's water network in Sweden as a case study, aims to unravel these multifaceted dynamics and answer key research questions regarding the management, challenges, influencing factors, and strategies for improving the maintenance and renewal of urban WBIS. Based on a mixed method approach, the case study utilized both qualitative and quantitative methods, including interviews, workshops, and data analysis. The results highlighted Linköping's UWI challenges, encompassing aging infrastructure, limited renewal rates, and financial constraints. To navigate these challenges, the discussion advocated for a shift towards proactive renewal strategies. The conclusions emphasized the need for an increased funding, strategic planning, proactive coordination among diverse stakeholders, and a balanced approach in budgetary allocations, particularly in considering maintenance and renewal alongside other activities, as crucial for ensuring the longevity and sustainability of the WBIS.","PeriodicalId":303036,"journal":{"name":"Linköping Studies in Science and Technology.
