Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Att erbjuda olika typer av mobilitetstjänster för boende på landsbygd och i mindre tätorter kan ge ökad tillgänglighet och minskat behov av att resa med egen bil. Syftet med förstudien KomILand är att bereda uppstart för framtida demoprojekt för kombinerad mobilitet i landsbygder och i mindre tätorter med avseende på plats, användare, tjänster och finansiering. Flera aktiviteter har genomförts: Identifiering av geografiskt lämpliga områden; behovsanalys, identifiering av tjänstedesign och affärsmodeller samt mobilisering av lokalt och regionalt engagemang. Tjänster och affärsmodeller har tagits fram med hjälp av Osterwalder Business Model Canvas. Ett antal kriterier har tagits fram för vilka egenskaper en landsbygd eller mindre ort bör ha för att en kombination av flera mobilitetstjänster ska ha möjlighet att kunna fungera. De tjänster som tillsammans i ett tjänstepaket skulle kunna ingå i en kombinerad mobilitetstjänst för landsbygd har validerats teoretiskt i den fiktiva bygden Småtorp. En offentlig aktör bör tillhandahålla organisatoriska och digitala plattformar åt de lokala mottagarna samt KomILand-konsulenter. KomILand kan bidra med lönsamhet, sänka mobilitetskostnaderna för kunderna, bidra med nya kunder till kollektivtrafiken och leda till ökad hållbarhet för samhället, förutsatt att det finns en robust och kvalitativ kollektivtrafik i botten.

Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Different types of mobility services in small towns and rural areas can increase accessibility among theresidents and reduce the need to travel by one’s own car. The purpose of this pre-study is to preparefor future demonstration projects for combined mobility (CM) in small towns and rural areas byproviding data on location, users, services and financing. Several activities have been carried out:identification of geographically appropriate areas and ongoing projects worldwide; analysis of userneeds; identification of service design and business models; and mobilization of local and regionalinvolvement. Services and business models have been developed using The Osterwalder BusinessModel Canvas. Several characteristics have been identified that a small town or rural area should havein order for CM to function. Services that could be included in a service package in a CM rural servicehave been validated theoretically in the fictional town of Småtorp. A public actor needs to provideorganisational and digital platforms to local organisations, and KomILand-consultants. KomILand cancontribute profitability, reduce mobility costs for customers, contribute new customers to the publictransport operators, and lead to increased sustainability for society, if there is a robust and qualitativepublic transport system as a basis

Research & Innovation Platform for Electric Road Systems
- 2021
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The Swedish government has prioritized achieving a fossil fuel-independent vehicle fleet by 2030 which will require radical transformation of the transport industry. Electrifying the vehicle fleet forms an important part of this transformation. For light vehicles, electrification using batteries and charging during parking is already well advanced. For city buses, charging at bus stops and bus depots is being developed, but for heavy, long-distance road transport, batteries with enough capacity to provide sufficient range would be too cumbersome and too much time would have to be spent stationary for charging.One solution might be the introduction of electric roads, supplying the moving vehicle with electricity both to power running and for charging. In the longer term, this approach could also be used for light vehicles and buses.The objective of the Research and Innovation Platform for Electric Roads was to enhance Swedish and Nordic research and innovation in this field, this has been done by developing a joint knowledge base through collaboration with research institutions, universities, public authorities, regions, and industries.The work of the Research and Innovation Platform was intended to create clarity concerning the socioeconomic conditions, benefits, and other effects associated with electric roads. We have investigated the benefits from the perspectives of various actors, implementation strategies, operation and maintenance standards, proposed regulatory systems, and factors conducive of the acceptance and development of international collaborative activities.The project commenced in the autumn of 2016 and the main research continued until December 2019, the work during year 2020 has been focused on knowledge spread and coordination with the Swedish-Germany research collaboration on ERS (CollERS). The results of the Research and Innovation Platform have been disseminated through information meetings, seminars, and four annual international conferences. Reports have been published in the participating partners’ ordinary publication series and on www.electricroads.org. The project was funded by Strategic Vehicle Research and Innovation (FFI) and the Swedish Transport Administration.

Hourly electricity demand from an electric road system – A Swedish case study
- 2018
-
In: Applied Energy. - : Elsevier BV. - 0306-2619 .- 1872-9118. ; 228, s. 141-148
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This study investigates the hourly electricity demand related to implementing an electric road system (ERS) on five Swedish roads with the highest traffic flows that connect the three largest cities in Sweden. The study also compares the energy demands and the CO2 mitigation potentials of the ERS with the use of carbon-based fuels to obtain the same transportation work, and extrapolates the results to all Swedish European- and National- (E- and N) roads. The hourly electricity demand along the roads are derived by linking 12 available measurement points for hourly road traffic volumes with 12,553 measurement points for the average daily traffic flows along the roads. The results show that applying an ERS to the five Swedish roads with the highest traffic flows can reduce by ∼20% the levels of CO2 emissions from the road transport sector, while increasing by less than 4% the hourly electricity demand on the peak dimensioning hour. Extending the ERS to all E- and N-roads would electrify almost half of the vehicle kilometers driven annually in Sweden, while increasing the load of the hourly peak electricity demand by only ∼10% on average.

Connecting Countries by Electric Roads: Methodology for Feasibility Analysis of a Transnational ERS Corridor
- 2021
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The present study aims at discussing relevant aspects for a potential roll-out of Electric Road Systems (ERS) on transnational corridors, as well as generally for ERS introduction in Europe.Feasibility criteria have thus been developed in order to assess the following topics for specific potential ERS corridor projects:Technical aspects: Which technical prerequisites exist for ERS corridors and to which extent can they expected to be met?Environmental aspects: Which effects can be expected on key environmental indicators?Economic aspects: Can an ERS corridor pose a business case? Could it contribute to the improvement of ERS economy in general?Political aspects: Would an ERS corridor implementation make sense from a political point of view?The developed criteria may serve as a toolbox for scrutinizing future transnational ERS corridor projects. In order to illustrate their application, we used them to analyse a potential roll-out of an Electric Road System on a selected highway corridor (424 km) connecting Sweden and Germany, but mainly located on Danish territory. Based on traffic flows and patterns along the corridor route, it was found:A considerable part of the total truck mileage on the corridor is done by vehicles with a rather limited driving distance for pre- and post-haul, assuming the corridor is realized as a stand-alone project, andthe CO2 emissions (well-to-wheel) of truck traffic along the corridor route can be significantly reduced if electric trucks are powered by the national electricity mixes expected for the year 2030, and even more if it would be powered purely renewable.Although a continuous ERS on the complete corridor route would not be economically feasible under current conditions, the analysis pinpoints sections along the route where the traffic volumes with a sufficient share of operation on a potential ERS are significantly higher. These sections are located in the metropolitan areas of Malmö, Copenhagen and Hamburg. For implementation, peculiarities of the local markets and regulation should be considered, as well as country-specific priorities on decarbonizing road freight transport. Additionally, the identified ERS potential for medium distances will depend on the technical and cost development of battery trucks.Our analysis also sheds some light on the role of first transnational corridors within a European roll-out strategy for ERS. Such corridor projects could help toproof the principal strengths of ERS,trigger strategic coordination between the participating countries,foster national ERS roll-out due to synergy effects with the corridor andpave the way for integration of ERS into EU legislation (e.g. AFID, TEN-T planning)
