Viseu Cardoso, Rodrigo (author), Meijers, E.J. (author)We aim to consolidate the concept of metropolisation as a lens to examine urban region integration in territories characterized by extensive urbanization. Metropolisation is defined as the process through which institutionally, functionally, and spatially fragmented urbanized regions become integrated as coherent metropolitan systems. This novel...journal article 2020

Peris, A.F.T. (author), Faber, Willem Jan (author), Meijers, E.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author)Previous studies have highlighted the importance of having long term data for the study of cities, but such sources are relatively scarce. This is especially the case for data about relations between cities, which is a crucial aspect of urban dynamics. Over the last two decades, many efforts have been made to digitalize texts, including books...journal article 2020

Liu, H. (author), van Oosterom, P.J.M. (author), Meijers, B.M. (author), Verbree, E. (author)Dramatically increasing collection of point clouds raises an essential demand for highly efficient data management. It can also facilitate modern applications such as robotics and virtual reality. Extensive studies have been performed on point data management and querying, but most of them concentrate on low dimensional spaces. High...journal article 2020

de Vos, D.W. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Meijers, E.J. (author)Teleworking may increase the willingness to accept a longer commute. This paper presents new evidence of the effect of teleworking on the length of commutes. We use novel panel data from the Netherlands, for the years 2008-2018, and find stronger effects compared to studies that use older data. Between 2008 and 2018 however, the effect was...working paper 2019

de Vos, D.W. (author), Meijers, E.J. (author)This paper addresses the interaction between information technology (IT) and agglomeration. The literature distinguishes two types of interactions, namely a substitution effect and a complementarity effect. We conceptualise a third effect, namely a ‘spillover’ mechanism, by which IT allows places in close proximity of large cities to ‘borrow...journal article 2019

Xenakis, D. (author), Meijers, B.M. (author), Verbree, E. (author)The performance of an indoor positioning system is highly related to the placement of the transmitting nodes that are used as references for the positioning estimations. In this paper, we propose a methodology that can be used to optimize such a deployment and thus, increase the performance of an indoor positioning system that a) is based on...journal article 2019

de Vos, D.W. (author), Meijers, E.J. (author)Over the past two decades, research in regional science has paid considerable attention to the benefits of urban density and proximity, even though there has been tremendous progress within the same period in technologies that ease the friction of distance (e.g. mobile communication, high-speed internet). Many scholars argue that in spite of...journal article 2019

Viseu Cardoso, Rodrigo (author), Meijers, E.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Burger, Martijn (author), de Vos, D.W. (author)Despite the many uncertainties of life in cities, promises of economic prosperity, social mobility and happiness have fuelled the imagination of generations of urban migrants in search of a better life. Access to jobs, housing and amenities, and fewer restrictions of personal choices are some of the perceived advantages of cities,...journal article 2019

Meijers, P.C. (author), Tsouvalas, A. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)The use of bolted connections between the tower and a support structure of an offshore wind turbine has created the need for a method to detect whether a monopile foundation plastically deforms during the installation procedure. Small permanent deformations are undesirable, not only because they can accelerate fatigue of the structure; but...journal article 2018

Meijers, P.C. (author), Tsouvalas, A. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)Recent developments in the construction of offshore wind turbines have created the need for a method to detect whether a monopile foundation is plastically deformed during the installation procedure. Since measurements at the pile head are difficult to perform, a method based on measurements at a certain distance below the pile head is...journal article 2018

Meijers, B.M. (author), van Oosterom, P.J.M. (author)Zo’n vijf jaar geleden is in Geo-Info het concept van vario-schaal geo-informatie beschreven (Van Oosterom en Meijers, 2012). In dit eerdere artikel werd de eerste, echt geleidelijke vario-schaal structuur gepresenteerd: een delta schaal geeft een delta in de kaart (en hoe kleiner de delta schaal hoe kleiner de delta kaart). De afgelopen vijf...journal article 2018

de Vos, D.W. (author), Meijers, E.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author)It is generally found that workers are more inclined to accept a job that is located farther away from home if they have the ability to work from home one day a week or more (telecommuting). Such findings inform us about the effectiveness of telecommuting policies that try to alleviate congestion and transport-related emissions, but they also...journal article 2018

(author), Derudder, Ben (author), Witlox, Frank (author)To some degree, metropolitan regions owe their existence to the ability to valorize agglomeration economies. The general perception is that agglomeration economies increase with city size, which is why economists tend to propagate urbanization, in this case in the form of metropolization. Contrarily, spatial planners traditionally emphasize...journal article 2018
