As a research engineer, I collaborated closely with the public transport provider and a barge operating company in Stockholm. The outcomes of my work and associated publications are summarised below.🛳️ Identified 7 principal challenges of waterborne urban mobility today through inspections and collaborations. 🎯 Inference: Any public transport provider must keep these 7 factors in mind. Further reading: http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-287834🛳️ Published findings comparing waterborne public transportation systems around the world.🎯 Inference: A good start for public transport providers to see what other countries are doing.Further reading: https://doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.32606.69446🛳️ Evaluated and modelled passenger preferences aboard ferries. 🎯 Inference: We answered the fundamental question – Why do passengers prefer ferries over other modes of transport?Further reading: (1) https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tbs.2019.02.002 (2) https://doi.org/10.1177/0361198118782275🧊 Investigated the local freshwater ice conditions in Stockholm region followed by a probabilistic and statistical analysis on them.🎯 Inference: This gives a good estimate on what ice thickness and ice type are likely during different months of the year.
