About me

I am a researcher working with urban waterborne mobility. My research project aims at illustrating modern waterborne commuter vessels, their design and how those year-around units are incorporated in tools for strategic public transport planning. The results contribute to developing the design of standardized smaller and lighter ferries and improving planning tools to assess effects on the transport system from the waterborne mode and its technology development. Main research questions are:

Which ship-type, shape and size is the most beneficial for public transport, considering functionality, manufacturing, operation, maintenance and recycling? Which materials and material concepts are best suited to meet this? How to assess and compare different multi-modal public transport solutions?

The project has three branches: Modular ship design Lightweight hull design for Nordic conditions Simulation-based strategic planning tool for multi-modal (rail-road-sea) public transport systems

The first two result from pre-studies by KTH Centre for Naval Architecture and the Stockholm County Council (SLL) in 2016-17. The third is a further development of the Swedish Transport Administration’s MATSim Stockholm model to incorporating the waterborne mode and its terminal solutions and new vessel concepts together with the land borne public transport system and road traffic. The project is presently supported by Swedish Transport Administration, Stockholm County Council and the Swedish maritime competence centre Lighthouse.
