Traditional trains, with steel rails and wheels, have been around for centuries. The very good energy efficiency of steel-wheeled trains is one of the reasons that they are one of the more promising transportation modes in the future, where energy conservation becomes more and more important. Furthermore, electric trains are able to efficiently...

This Thesis proposes an optimisation model to minimize operational cost of a fleet of electric thin-haul aircraft under a minimum RPK (Revenue-Passenger Kilometer) constraint. A solution that minimises cost per RPK can be found by varying the minimum RPK level. The solutions describes how many aircraft are needed, as well as a schedule for each...

Although the idea of electric vehicles fell out of favour in the 1930s, it seems this phenomenon is now reversing and that many companies are willing to invest again on this technology. The advantages are clear: no emissions and the possibility to power vehicles by means of sustainable sources. On the other hand, a high number of simultaneously...
