  • Enhancing Utilitarian Cycling: a Case Study
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Transportation Research Procedia 14 ( 2016 ) 2352 – 2361 6th Transport Research Arena April 18-21, 2016 Enhancing utilitarian cycling: a case study Helena Strömberg a, I.C. MariAnne Karlsson a,* aDesign & Human Factors, Product and Production Development, Chalmers University of Technology, SE-41296 Göteborg, Sweden Abstract An increase in utilitarian cycling could have many benefits for society as well as the individual. Today, cycling is however used for only a small share of everyday trips. Several studies have identified factors that facilitate or hinder an increase in everyday cycling (e.g. built environment; weather; attitudes) but one factor missing from this list is the bicycle per se and its effect on the willingness to cycle. The paper presents the results of an interview study with participants (Ps) of a field trial where they promised to replace three days worth of car journeys with bicycling. Main questions posed were: how did the Ps in the field trial experience trying to shift their transport behaviours? and what role did the bicycle designs play in the attempt to shift travel behaviour? An assumption behind the project was that the present development of bicycles and accessories was an interesting entry point to increase utilitarian bicycling with potential to replace car use to a higher degree for a wider target group than ordinary bicycles. Ps were therefore guided regarding the choice of bicycle, i.e. they had to specify their needs in relation to bicycle design based on which trips they intended to use the bicycle for, and other everyday factors that could influence how and for what they would use a bicycle.

Setting up organization and administration of the Center The launch of METROFREIGHT began with a kick-off meeting with VREF sponsors in Gothenburg at the end of February 2013. The contract processing took quite some time, with the master contract set up in May 2013, and the subcontracts being issued after the master contract was in place. The last of the subcontracts was finalized in September 2013. The long contracting process delayed the start of the major work of Year 1. Setting up the center involves hiring staff, establishing a communications structure, and establishing mechanisms for collaborative work across three countries and four time zones.

  • Potentials of Electric Vehicles in Innovative City-Logistics: a Case Study from Karlsruhe, Germany
    33rd Electric Vehicle Symposium (EVS33) Portland, Oregon, June 14 - 17, 2020 Potentials of electric vehicles in innovative city-logistics: A case study from Karlsruhe, Germany Cornelius Moll1,2, Saskia Franz1 1Fraunhofer-Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI, Breslauer Str. 48, 76139 Karlsruhe, Germany, [email protected] 2University of Hohenheim, Chair for Service Management and Service Markets, Schloss Hohenheim 1, 70599 Stuttgart, Germany Summary Urban traffic is increasing, resulting in congestions, air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. One option to reduce urban traffic and its impacts are innovative city logistics concepts (CLC) in combination with battery electric vehicles (BEV). However, logistics service providers (LSP) are reluctant to implement CLCs or BEVs due to little knowledge on the potential economic and ecological benefits. Thus, our aim is to explore the acceptance of CLCs and BEVs among LSPs and to analyze the economic and ecological benefits of such concepts and how BEVs contribute to potential benefits. Using expert interviews as well as techno-economic and ecological analysis, we find that BEVs show the highest acceptance among LSPs, followed by city-hubs, micro- hubs with electric freight bikes on the last mile and night-time delivery. We also find that micro-hubs improve the economic and ecological performance of logistics operations, while night-time delivery shows no benefits. BEVs turn out to be more expensive for both CLCs but clearly improve the ecological performance. Keywords: freight transport, city traffic, mobility concepts, BEV (battery electric vehicle), pollution 1 Introduction Urbanization, economic growth and structural economic changes such as globalization, increasing world trade or e-commerce lead to increasing road transportation, especially in urban areas [1].

  • Freight Bicycles And/Or Cargo Vans? New Algorithms Provide the Answers
    Press release, April 1, 2017 Freight bicycles and/or cargo vans? New algorithms provide the answers Many urban planners are pinning high hopes on the freight bicycle as one of the key means of urban transportation in the future. Some pioneering initiatives have started to bring these cargo bikes to the streets in Vienna. Up to now, however, it has been unclear which logistics solutions are best suited to individual cities and which role freight bicycles play in these approaches. One of the main problems is how to best synchronize trucks and freight bicycles in bimodal logistics. Now the work of Assistant Professor Vera Hemmelmayr from WU’s Institute for Transport and Logistics Management provides answers to this problem for the first time. Together with her colleagues Alexandra Anderluh (WU) and Pamela Nolz (AIT), Vera Hemmelmayr has developed an algorithm designed to tackle these challenges. As of 2017, over half of the world’s population lives in cities, and this figure is growing: According to OECD estimates, by the year 2100, this number will rise to approximately 85%. The metropolitan areas of the future will require efficient and environmentally friendly logistics. This is why Assistant Professor Vera Hemmelmayr from WU’s Institute for Transport and Logistics Management is doing research on sustainable logistics solutions for freight transportation in urban areas. She is not only looking for the best routing solutions but also at the negative effects of freight transportation on safety, the environment, and traffic. WU researcher Vera Hemmelmayr’s field of expertise is known as city logistics. She is developing special algorithms, called metaheuristics, which can be used to identify logistics scenarios in urban areas and develop appropriate solutions.

  • Turbine Machines Are Applicable for Speeding and Flying Objects
    APPLICABILITY AND COMPATIBLE. [1905] Turbine machines are applicable for speeding and flying objects, vehicles and machines for generating electric current and for propulsion of the electric vehicle, vessels or craft. Unlike stationary turbine machines the machines mounted on a speeding object generates electric current for the vehicle electric supply. While the vehicle moving through the ambient air or water is the generator of friction around the object forcing itself through matter. Whereby friction of wind is obtained for driving the turbine oriented in the head wind direction or ducting the flow of fluid to the turbine machine. A marine vessel speeding on the body of water has the advantage to utilize both flowing matter of water and wind when speeding. motorized and non-motorized vehicles speeding and flying objects, vehicles, crafts. Applicable for vessels speeding on a body of water and vessels submerged in the body of water.
