Long-haul continental freight flows still heavily rely on unimodal road transport. Intermodal transport, combining transport with other modes, has the potential to have lower operating costs and be more environmentally sustainable. However, benefits from its better flexibility adaptability sudden disruptions uncertainties. To facilitate a modal shift towards intermodal it is crucial improve res...

A new type of cosmic-ray experiment is under construction in the Pyhäsalmi mine in the underground laboratory of the University of Oulu, Finland. It aims to study the composition of cosmic rays at and above the knee region. The experiment, called EMMA, will cover approximately 150 m of detector area. The array is capable of measuring the multiplicity and the lateral distribution of underground ...

Fragmentation analysis is an essential part of the optimization process in any mining operation. The costs loading, hauling, and crushing rock are strongly influenced by size distribution blasted rock. Several direct indirect methods used to analyse or predict fragmentation, but none entirely applicable fragmentation assessment sublevel caving mines, mainly because limitations imposed undergrou...

The objective of this paper is to formulate and analyze the benefits a predictive non-linear multi optimization method for platoon mild-hybrid line haul trucks. In study group three trucks with hybrid electric powertrain are considered in formation where each truck has optimal control save fuel out any loss trip time. While controller on uses look ahead knowledge entire route terms road grade, ...
