HCT City: Case study excavated material in cities - Pilots and system analysis.
The hypothesis in the project is that the number of trucks in cities can be reduced by 50%. A large number of all heavy goods transports in cities carry excavated material from infrastructure projects. By using 5 axles instead of 3, a double payload can be loaded and the CO2-emissions can be reduced by up to 40%.
This project will study how the HCT-concept (High Capacity Transport) can be applied in cities, by performing pilots in Varberg and Stockholm and analyzes in Sundbyberg and Uppsala. The project will test the hypothesis that the HCT-concept will improve both productivity and transport efficiency and thereby reduce CO2 and other hazardous emissions with reduced road wear and improved or same traffic safety as before.
The project will also study digital access control and tools such as geofencing in order to control speed and routes.
