Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Swedish public transport organizations have set an objective to double usage of the public transport during the next coming five years. This study attempts to investigate if the current ticket solutions support the goal of the public transport companies, and if the available mobile phone solutions can lower barriers for consumers. In order to do that, critical travelling moments for users of different market segments were estimated during a pre-study stage. The following focus group discussions helped to validate problems identified during the pre-study. At the same time, focus groups provided deeper consumer insights on general consumer perception of the transport service, ticketing, mobile payment, quality of service, consumer expectations related to the public transport services, and consumer satisfaction and loyalty.The conducted research helped to identify problems existing in public transport ticketing and mobile payment areas, which have the negative impact on the usage of the public transport service and contribute with additional barriers for users. Moreover, this conclusion is supported by multiple examples that clearly illustrate what does not work, and why it does not work. Hence, mentioned solutions do not support the overall objective of the public transport operators. The comprehension of these problems and barriers can contribute to a better understanding of consumer needs and expectations, and help the public transport service providers to improve the service.

Stakeholder’s expectations : The case of mobile public transport ticketing in Sweden
- 2014

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- One of the main areas of mobile payment application in Sweden is mobile public transport ticketing. The main stakeholders involved in this service are mobile network operators, mobile payment service providers, SMS ticket’s “technology solution” providers, public transport companies, and consumers.Traditionally, mobile operators have had a strong position in this niche since the mobile phone bill or pre-paid subscriptions were used for end-user billing. Due to financial regulation, this situation was changed in February 2013 when new SMS payment solutions were introduced for all public transport companies in Sweden. A number of new actors entered the scene, and the position of existing actors changed dramatically. At the same time, the Swedish mobile operators formed a joint venture, 4T Sweden, offering a new mobile payment solution – WyWallet.The main focus of this paper is on the change of expectations of different stakeholders taking part in provisioning of SMS payment services. Analysis has been performed by comparison of the initial expectations before the introduction of the new SMS payment system and the real outcome in approximately half a year time. Analysis revealed the fact that expectations of a number of stakeholders about mobile payment services did not come true. Moreover, due to barriers set by the mobile payment solution, mobile payment transactions in public transportation is dramatically lower than what SMS payments were before the market changed.

Behov och nyttor av transporter med hög kapacitet (HCT) inom olika branscher och för olika varuslag - En förstudie inom ramen för FoI-programmet High Capacity Transports
- 2013
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- High Capacity Transports (HCT) är ett samlingsbegrepp för transporter med fordon som har högre kapacitet än vad som normalt är tillåtet med befintligt regelverk. Denna förstudie är en del av det FoI-program för HCT som initierades av Trafikverket under hösten 2011. Syftet med denna förstudie är att identifiera vilka typer av transporter som kan vara lämpliga för HCT-ekipage i Sverige. Det finns ett antal olika dimensioner som är av intresse: •Varuslag. Går det att identifiera vissa varuslag eller branscher som särskilt lämpade för HCT-transporter? •Varuflöden. Går det att identifiera regioner och/eller stråk som tack vare sin volym vore intressanta för HCT-transporter? •Fordonstyper. Finns det vissa fordonstyper som är särskilt intressanta? •Begränsningar. Hur ser infrastrukturen ut? Finns det begränsningar som skulle hindra ett införande av HCT? Av praktiska skäl är studien begränsad till svensk vägburen inrikestrafik då det är inom detta segment som data finns tillgänglig. Volymer som lastas/lossas i till exempel hamnar räknas som inrikestrafik inom landet. Slutsatsen är att inom rätt varusegment kan HCT vara ett mycket bra alternativ för varuägaren: •Malm och andra produkter från utvinning. Korta avstånd, ofta lokalt vägnät, tidsbegränsat och med kort varsel. Stor potential men kräver snabb och effektiv tillståndsprocess. •Livsmedel, drycker och tobak. Stora, stabila flöden, ofta på stora vägar. Här kan HCT systematiseras i större skala. •Produkter från jordbruk, skogsbruk. Stora fordon som lastar mycket gods och kör långa avstånd. Att just rundvirke (som utgör majoriteten av godset i gruppen) lämpar sig för HCT är redan ett faktum i och med ETT-projektet. Dessa transporter sker ofta på mindre vägar vilket kan utgöra problem. •Trä och varor av trä och kork (exkl. möbler). Stora, långa flöden, i detta fall främst av flis, papper och sågade trävaror. Även här kan mindre vägar bli aktuella. Ytterligare ett varuslag, Styckegods och samlastat gods, bedöms som synnerligen intressant. Detta är dock en benämning som endast är relevant inom transportbranschen då begreppet kan omfatta många typer av varuslag. Dock skall nämnas att införandet av HCT en komplex process med många ingående intressenter och domäner. Värt att notera är också att detta endast är en förstudie som har, med ett begränsat dataunderlag, visat på trolig potential för HCT i Sverige. Dock finns det flera aspekter som behöver utredas vidare, till exempel: •Möjliga affärsmodeller och praktiskt genomförbara upplägg behöver tas fram. •Systemeffekter av HCT (”modal shift”) behöver utredas ytterligare. •Trafiksäkerhetsaspekterna behöver utredas vidare •IT-system för accesshantering, övervakning och styrning behöver vidareutvecklas och testas i stor skala

A review of the success and failure of tram systems to carry urban freight: the implications for a low emission intermodal solution using electric vehicles on trams
- 2013
-
Ingår i: European Transport / Trasporti Europei. - 1825-3997. ; 54:5, s. 1825-3997

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper considers the potential use of trams and Electric Distribution Vehicles (EDVs) as cargo carriers in intermodal urban freight distribution. Distribution activities are vital for society but are also the cause of environmental and social problems. Transporting goods in urban areas, where most logistics chains start or end, is an activity that increasingly generates severe problems for all stakeholders, for instance, local authorities, the logistic industry, customers and society in general. New transport solutions are necessary in order to decrease traffic congestion, noise and traffic pollution, e.g., emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants in urban areas. A possible solution to these problems is to transform the current freight distribution system within cities, for example by favouring the enhancement of intermodal transport alternatives, i.e. combining road and rail transport. Information has been collected through a literature review and interviews in Amsterdam and from these results a conceptual model is presented, as well as a low emission concept using electric vehicles on trams in Gothenburg. The concept utilizes techniques from the shipping industry, train industry, and the car industry.

Aktieägaravtal. Särskilt om besluts- och överlåtelsebindningar.
- 2010
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The thesis aims at clarifying the function and civil law effects of shareholder agreements according to Swedish law. Shareholder agreements perform important functions as instruments to reduce risks associated with company law. It is clear that many companies do not correspond to the image of the company and its shareholders - i.e. the image of a capitalist firm and investor owners - on which company law is based. In some cases, there is a desire to ensure that strong external preferences can be realised, with the result that measures must be taken to guard against the principle of profit maximisation being accorded overriding importance. In other cases, it is precisely the effect of existing external preferences which must be countered. As a means of achieving the desired goals, shareholder agreements typically regulate decision-making activities and procedures within the company and its bodies. Contractual provisions of this kind can be called decision obligations ("beslutsbindningar"). Often the agreements also regulate transfer of shares. These provisions can be called transfer obligations ("överlåtelsebindningar"). Important to note is that the objects of the agreements - i.e. decision-making within the company and share transfers - are already regulated by the Swedish Companies Act ("Aktiebolagslagen [2005:551]"). They can also to a certain extent be addressed by the articles of association. This means that shareholder agreements give rise to collisions between two areas of law - contract law and company law - which are often regarded as mutually autonomous. This autonomy can be described in terms of two separation principles: one pertaining to contract law and the other to company law. Schematically, the problems that shareholder agreements raise can be analysed in the light of these principles. According to the separation principle in company law, statutory law support is necessary in order for an agreement to have company law effects. Conversely, according to the separation principle in contract law contractual assessments are not influenced by company law considerations unless prescribed by statutory law. The study shows that the separation principle in company law is absolute. However, the same can not be said regarding the separation principle in contract law. For example, the thesis argues that the performance of roles and functions other than the role of being a shareholder is or - concerning questions which fall under gaps - ought to be contractually mandatory. In contrast, there is no reason to view any part of the shareholder protection afforded by company law as contractually mandatory.
