Integrating Weather Conditions in Truck Route Optimization : Maximizing Utilization and Cost-effectivenessStenbratt, Sigrid, Lundell, Paulina January 2023 (has links)
Abstract The focus of the thesis is researching how to optimize a certain route, highlighting theimportance of weather conditions in the context of optimizing truck routes. Additionally, itemphasizes the goals of maximizing human utilization and cost-effectiveness. The project teamconducted a survey on fuel habits, and the results showed that the participating companies lackeda defined strategy for the company's fuel habits or a specific approach for selecting fuelingcompanies. The project team developed an algorithm that assists drivers in selecting the mostoptimized routes while enabling companies to calculate these routes efficiently. Data wascollected on the fuel consumption associated with the loading and unloading of goods. The totalroute cost is calculated using a custom equation that includes the driver´s salary, the employer´ssocial security contribution, the cost of the truck when loading and unloading, and the wear onthe truck. The company naturally expects to generate a profit, and such profit margins may differamong companies. Therefore, the project team excluded this factor from the equation todetermine the route's cost. The findings showed that varying weather conditions did impactconsumption, thereby influencing the final cost. The algorithm that the project team made is asignificant milestone toward the completion of the final product. However, there are still a fewremaining steps to be taken in order to achieve the desired end result and future development.

Elumo : - Smart bottenplatta för klivande rullstolarSvensson, Malin, Olsson, Johan January 2022 (has links)
Imagine a power wheelchair that can step over obstacles, step up on sidewalks and drive on lateral slopes whilst the user is still seated upright. Previously these features were impossible, but thanks to Elumo this is no longer the case. Elumo is a six-wheeled base to be used on electric wheelchairs. The base has been developed by Malin Svensson and Johan Olsson during their bachelor’s thesis at the Innovation Engineering Program at Halmstad University. The project took place between autumn 2021 and spring 2022. The development of Elumo started with several user studies conducted by the students, where over 70 wheelchair users responded to a survey concerning the everyday life of a person using wheelchairs. These users were later invited to a user workshop where they could list everyday complaints and possible improvements concerning existing power wheelchairs. One of the most common complaints was getting up on sidewalks and driving on uneven terrain. Both of these problems will be solved with the base Elumo. The technology that makes the stepping-feature and improved suspension possible, is patented by the company EMTW and the students have had a close cooperation with them during the development. Our goal is for “Elumo to become a new product that will focus on the user and will deliver innovative power wheelchairs that provide safety, independence and improve quality of life for people using wheelchairs.”
