Connecting Third-Party Users to Public Transport Infrastructures: The Near and Necessary Future

Electric public transport grids are oversized and underutilized by design. In contrast to this spare capacity luxury, electricity grids are suffering from serious congestion that threatens the rolling-out of electrical sustainable solutions such as electric cars and heat pumps. Therefore, a growing research momentum is looking at connecting third-party users to electric transport grids and managing this spare capacity among all users. Interestingly, it is already clear, as summarized in this presentation, that this multi-functional, multi-stakeholder public transport infrastructure is not only an opportunity but rather a crucial requirement for the sustainability and efficiency of the transport grid itself.

Hybrid webinar on System-level impacts of electrification on road freight transport efficiency

In collaboration with Integrated Transport Research Lab (ITRL) and Trafikverket, Claudia Andruetto and Zeinab Raoofi, both from ITRL, presented their work on System-level impacts of electrification on road freight transport efficiency: a System Dynamics approach, at a hybrid seminar on February 5th 2024.

Methods for Managing Deep Uncertainty in Planning Sustainable Transport

The MUST project explores methods like Decision Making under Deep Uncertainty (DMDU) and Exploratory Modeling and Analysis (EMA) to complement traditional planning in the transport sector. In this seminar, we share Phase 1 findings, including a literature review on uncertainty in transport planning, insights from workshops, and a case study applying DMDU methods.
