Metamodel-based metaheuristics in optimal responsive adaptation and recovery of traffic networks

Different emerging threats highlighted the relevance of recovery and adaptation modelling in the functioning of societal systems. However, as modelling of systems becomes more complex, its effort increases challenging the practicality of the engineering analyses required for efficient recovery and adaptation. In the present work, metamodels...

Are we satisfying the right conditions for the mobility transition? A review and evaluation of the dutch urban mobility policies

Global climate agreements call for action and an integrated perspective on mobility, energy and overall consumption. Municipalities in dense, urban areas are challenged with facilitating this transition with limited space and energy resources, and with future uncertainties. One important aspect of the transition is the adoption of electric...

Optimal operation of the Eastern Nile System using Genetic Algorithm, and benefits distribution of water resources development

The Eastern Nile Basin is facing a number of transboundary issues, including water resources development, and the associated impacts. The Nile Basin, particularly the Eastern Nile Sub-basin, is considered as one of a few international river systems of potential conflicts between riparian countries. The Eastern Nile is characterized by the...

Challenges and uncertainties of ex ante techno-economic analysis of low TRL CO₂ capture technology: Lessons from a case study of an NGCC with exhaust gas recycle and electric swing adsorption

this work addresses the methodological challenges of undertaking techno-economic assessments of very early stage (technology readiness level 3–4) CO₂ capture technologies. It draws lessons from a case study on CO₂ capture from a natural gas combined cycle with exhaust gas recycle and electric swing adsorption technology....
