Power Infrastructure Requirements for Road Transport Electrification
Deep decarbonisation of road transportation is challenging. One of the most potentially beneficial approaches is electrification which is the subject of this PhD thesis. A widespread penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) across a large proportion of road transport demand is needed to realise the …

South African road transport requirements for sustainable growth
… conducted on what other countries did with their transport problems but the same problem as in South Africa has not been encountered anywhere else in the world. South Africa therefore has a unique situation, which needs to be resolved in a unique way. There is increasing awareness elsewhere in the …

Creep properties of corrugated fibreboard containers for produce in simulated road transport environment
Standard methods for the performance testing of corrugated fibreboard boxes use some static or quasi-static characteristic of the box as the performance indicator. The aim of this project was to develop a performance-based test method for corrugated boxes for fresh horticultural produce, using a …

The importance of road transport infrastructure development and maintenance in trade facilitation : a South African case
Road transportation is the most frequently used means of transporting goods and people in much of sub-Saharan Africa. Furthermore, because of the region's geographic nature, where many of the countries are landlocked, imports and exports of goods happen primarily by land and in this case by road …

Life cycle air pollutant and carbon emissions from China’s road transport under vehicle electrification and renewable electricity expansion scenarios
China’s road transport sector has experienced rapid expansion over the past decades, becoming a major contributor to both air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. As the country transitions toward carbon neutrality, vehicle electrification and renewable electricity (RE) expansion are central to …

Transport of Christchurch solid waste: road transport versus rail transport : a dissertation for the degree of Master of Professional Studies, Transportation Management, Lincoln University
… study is to analyse the logistics of solid waste transport from Christchurch (New Zealand) to the local landfill by comparing two scenarios - road versus rail transport. The thrust of the research is based on a triple bottom line approach that considers economic, environmental and community issues.

Tradable carbon permits : their potential to reduce CO2 emissions from the transport sector
… to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Road transport is a significant contributor to UK CO2 emissions, with the majority arising from personal road transport. A working model of a Tradable Carbon Permit (TCP) scheme was therefore designed to achieve a 60% reduction of CO2 emissions from …

WFP supply chain capacity in Ethiopia : an analysis of its sufficiency, constraints & impact
The WFP's transport of food aid to Ethiopia's landlocked population is constrained by supply chain bottlenecks at the port, and limited availability of trucks for inland transport. How can the WFP supply chain be optimized to effectively operate within the given constraints? First, we assess …
