van Battum, Coen H.H. (author), Wiegmans, B. (author), Atasoy, B. (author), van Wingerden, Erwin (author), de Waal, Arjen (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Container terminal capacity is often limited by (in)efficiency bottlenecks. This paper provides the design and proof of concept for the bottleneck mitigation cycle (BMC), consisting of three steps: bottleneck classification, detection and alleviation. While, often, the literature only focuses on alleviation of a single bottleneck and ignores...journal article 2022

Wiegmans, B. (author), Mouter, N. (author), Vanelslander, Thierry (author), Verweij, Stefan (author)The cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is a widely used approach for the appraisal of transport projects, but criticisms on it have led to the development of alternatives such as the BENEFIT approach. This book chapter analyzes three cases of infrastructure investments in port areas in Belgium and the Netherlands, by application of the BENEFIT approach...book chapter 2022

Wiegmans, B. (author), Witte, Patrick (author), Roso, Violeta (author)Considerable scientific attention has been paid to inland port research and many of the papers are driven by an Outside-In perspective where the seaport is often regarded as leader and the inland port as follower. Increasingly, Inside-Out approaches where inland ports themselves are taking the initiative are receiving scientific attention....journal article 2020

Hu, Q. (author), Wiegmans, B. (author), Corman, Francesco (author), Lodewijks, Gabriel (author)Nowadays, the major ports around the world usually consist of multiple terminals and service centers which are often run by different operators. Meanwhile, inland terminals have been also developed to reduce port congestion and improve transport efficiency. The integrated planning of inter-terminal transport (ITT) between the seaport and inland...review 2019

Inland waterway terminal yard configuration contributing to sustainability: Modeling yard operationsWiercx, Max (author), van Kalmthout, Martijn (author), Wiegmans, B. (author)In order to encourage a substantial shift from highly polluting freight transport by road to more sustainable Inland WaterWay (IWW) transport, one of the possible options is to optimize handling activities at Inland Waterway Terminals (IWTs). Therefore, this research focused on efficiencies of IWTs and possible improvements by analyzing the...journal article 2019
