    • Using Deep Learning to Predict the Amount of Chemicals Applied on the Wheel Track for Winter Road Maintenance 

      Hatamzad, Mahshid; Polanco Pinerez, Geanette Cleotilde; Casselgren, Johan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-30)
      The decade of big data has emerged in recent years, which has led to entering the era of intelligent transportation. One of the main challenges to deploying intelligent transportation is dealing with winter roads in cold climate countries. Different operations can be used to protect the road from ice and snow, such as spreading chemicals (here salt) on the road surface. Using salt for de-icing and ...
    • Using Mutual Charge Scheme to Measure Salinity of Ice 

      Mughal, Umair Najeeb; Nikumbh, Bhushan (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2015)
      For offshore measurements in Cold Regions, salinity of ice is also a critical parameter (together with many other parameterssuchasicingtype,load,icingrateandmeltingrate)to be identified in order to optimize the performance of anti/de icing systems. Although there are some available sensory solutions in the market to measure real time salinity levels of water, however there are still not many real ...
    • Using Slightly Imbalanced Binary Classification to Predict the Efficiency of Winter Road Maintenance 

      Hatamzad, Mahshid; Polanco Pinerez, Geanette; Cesselgren, Johan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-30)
      The prediction of efficiency scores for winter road maintenance (WRM) is a challenging and serious issue in countries with cold climates. While effective and efficient WRM is a key contributor to maximizing road transportation safety and minimizing costs and environmental impacts, it has not yet been included in intelligent prediction methods. Therefore, this study aims to design a WRM ...
    • A value chain analysis for bioenergy production from biomass and biodegradable waste: a case study in Northern Norway 

      Yu, Hao; Roman, Elisabeth; Solvang, Wei Deng (Peer reviewed; Chapter, 2018-09-12)
      During the past decades, the concerns of the depletion of fossil fuels and global warming caused by excess GHG emissions have become the most important driving force for the development and utilization of renewable energy resources. The successful experiences from the EU-28 have proved that bioenergy production from biomass and biodegradable waste is the most reliable and promising solution in ...
    • Variable Neighborhood-based Cuckoo Search for Production Routing with Time Window and Setup Times 

      Wu, Gen-Han; Cheng, Chen-Yang; Pourhejazy, Pourya; Fang, Bai-Lyn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-23)
      Major corporations compete over the strengths of their supply chains. Integrating production and distribution operations helps improve supply chain connectedness and responsiveness beyond the standalone optimization norms. This study proposes an original Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) formulation for the Production scheduling-based Routing Problem with Time Window and Setup Times (PRP-TWST). ...
    • Welding Certification for Autonomous Robotized Welding 

      Sziebig, Gabor; Maske, Thomas (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2016-10-23)
      The increased production of more and more complex products challenges the accuracy of manual welding, and increase the time it takes to program automatic welding systems. The main objective for the article is to explore if current regulations and standards are able to accommodate the shift from automatic welding to autonomous welding systems. To do this, the most current and applicable standards ...
    • Wind energy at remote islands in arctic region—A case study of Solovetsky islands 

      Ghani, Rizwan; Kangash, Aleksei; Virk, Muhammad Shakeel; Maryandshev, Pavel; Mustafa, Mohamad (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-07)
      This paper describes a case study of wind resource assessment and wind park design at the Solovetsky Islands, which are located in the Arctic region of northern Russia. The Solovetsky historical and cultural complex has been included in the list of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. 18 years of data of wind climatology from the NASA Langley Research Center are used for wind resource assessment at the ...
    • Wind Turbine Wake Effects on Wind Resource Assessments – a Case Study 

      Jin, Jia Yi; Ghani, Rizwan; Virk, Muhammad Shakeel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-24)
      This paper describes a case study of wind turbine wake loss effects on wind resource assessment in cold region. One year wind park SCADA data is used. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based numerical simulations are carried out for wind resource assessment and estimation of resultant Annual Energy Production (AEP). Numerical results are compared with the field SCADA data, where a good agreement ...
