The Division of Geoinformatics at the Department of Urban Planning and Environment is responsible for both research and education within the broad field of Geographical Information Technology (GeoIT). The research at Geoinformatics is focused on methodology development and the applications of GeoIT for sustainable urban/regional planning, mobility and transport analysis, environmental monitoring, disaster monitoring and damage assessment, as well as health studies. The subject is interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary. It covers the collection, management, visualization, analysis and presentation of geospatial data and also how this is linked to transport and communication systems at different geographical scales.
ITRL is a research center with the aim of researching and demonstrating transport concepts that can greatly reduce CO2 emissions, while being economically and socially sustainable. ITRL develops and manages research projects involving researchers from all KTH schools, and contributes to research within the systems perspective in the research projects.
The Department of Urban Planning and Environment is seeking a researcher engineer to take a leading role in the C3.ai Digital Transformation Institute and Digital Futures funded Learning in Routing Games for Sustainable Electromobility (RoSE) project. The selected research engineer will be situated at the Division of Geoinformatics, but also collaborate from researchers at KTH EECS, MIT, and at the Integrated Transport Research Laboratory (ITRL), a long-term interdisciplinary collaboration between KTH, Scania, Ericsson, Swedish Road Administration (Trafikverket), Region Stockholm (SLL).
About RoSE: The goal of the project is “to make traffic routing for commercial operators more sustainable by accounting for electromobility, operational costs, infrastructure condition deterioration, and environmental externalities”. More information about the project can be found here. The specific task of the selected Research Engineer will be: Develop simulation models and a parallel simulation software suite for the quantification of travel delays and costs, the impact of vehicle loading on the infrastructure, the energy consumption and the charging potential in a simplified Swedish road network (used in the national freight model) with elevation profiles for 5 km stretches, including dynamic wireless charging and static charging, based on the offered traffic flow, geographical data, environmental conditions and electric power supply.
