Cruising towards better air quality: The influence of Dynamic Traffic Management on vehicle emissions through driving profile improvements

Bad air quality is an increasing problem in most European countries and also in the Netherlands. A growing awareness of the effects of bad air quality on the environment and health has put the air quality issue high on the political agenda. Road traffic is one of the major air polluters in Europe. Especially near main arteries and in dense areas...

Quantification of measurement errors, model and scale effects related to overtopping

CLASH is concentrating on investigations of wave overtopping for different structures in prototype and in laboratory. The model investigations have focussed on wave overtopping and the comparison of overtopping results from small-scale model tests and prototype measurements. Possible differences in the results from small-scale tests and...

The international database on wave overtopping

One of the main objectives within the EU-project CLASH (www.clash-eu.org) was to create a generic prediction method for wave overtopping at coastal structures by means of the Neural Network technique. An extensive and homogeneous database on wave overtopping was set up within CLASH, mainly with the aim to be used for the training process of the...

3.17 Verdere ontwikkeling benthos module (BENBOX): T.b.v. integraal model effectketen Noordzee Fase 2

Het doel van dit deelproject om de effecten van de aanleg van Flyland (veranderingen gesuspendeerd inert particulair materiaal in de waterkolom, fytoplanktonconcentraties en sedimentatie) op lager trofisch niveau (macrobenthos) beter door te vertalen naar hogere trofische niveaus zoals b.v. garnalen en vissen. Het gaat om een kwantitatieve...
