Schoenmaker, R. (author), Verlaan, J.G. (author)Asset managers of civil infrastructure are increasingly outsourcing their maintenance. Whereas maintenance is a cyclic process, decisions to outsource decisions are often project-based, and confusing the discussion on the degree of outsourcing. This paper presents a six-stage model that facilitates the top-down discussion for analysing the...conference paper 2013

Verlaan, J.G. (author), Schoenmaker, R. (author)The infrastructure in the Netherlands is crucial for economic development on a national scale. Dramatic increases of transport and mobility accelerate ageing of infrastructure. The GNP of the Netherlands is strongly related to transport and to the two main ports (Port of Rotterdam and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol). The Netherlands is used to a...conference paper 2013

Hansen, I.A. (author), Wiggenraad, P.B.L. (author), Wolff, J.W. (author)Benchmark analysis of railway networks and companies has been stimulated by the European policy of deregulation of transport markets, the opening of national railway networks and markets to new entrants and separation of infrastructure and train operation. Recent international railway benchmarking studies which are mostly based on statistical...conference paper 2013

Zlatanova, S. (author), Beetz, J. (author), Boersma, A.J. (author), Mulder, A. (author), Goos, J. (author)The maintenance of the complex infrastructure and facilities of Port of Rotterdam is based on large amounts of heterogeneous information. Almost all activities of the Port require spatial information about features above- and under- ground. Current information systems are department and data oriented and cannot reflect the new process- & project...conference paper 2013

Schepers, P. (author), Hagenzieker, M.P. (author), Methorst, R. (author), Van Wee, G.P. (author), Wegman, F.C.M. (author)Scientific literature lacks a model which combines exposure to risk, risk, and the relationship between them. This paper presents a conceptual road safety framework comprising mutually interacting factors for exposure to risk resulting from travel behaviour (volumes, modal split, and distribution of traffic over time and space) and for risk ...journal article 2013

Ligtvoet, A. (author)To ensure dependable, affordable, and sustainable use of energy, stakeholders in energy production, distribution, and consumption are increasingly seeking for cooperation. They aim to jointly tackle large energy projects in an environmental context that is changing at an increasing rate, towards increasing complexity. Cooperation is seen as a...doctoral thesis 2013

Leendertse, W. (author), Lenferink, S. (author), Arts, J. (author)raditionally, in infrastructure planning, private contractors are engaged at the end of the plan development stage on the basis of a request for proposals, after the conceptual design is finished and the main decisions have been made. They are responsible for final engineering and construction and, separately, for maintenance of the...journal article 2012

Vleugel, J.M. (author), Bal, F. (author)Rail intermodal services are an alternative to all-road services if the average transport time offered by these services is at least comparable. One of the determinants of transport time is how well actors in the transport chain cooperate. In this paper it is shown that substantial improvements in rail transport time are possible if these actors...journal article 2012

Komez, E. (author)Infrastructure networks have always been the primary feature of urbanism. As any aspects of urban environments, the understanding of infrastructure networks and their practices have witnessed changes due to the shifts first to modernist ideal and then to the globalized world view. In oppose to the former fragmented nature of infrastructure...conference paper 2012

Nedkov, S. (author), Zlatanova, S. (author)Gathering infrastructure data in emergency situations is challenging. The affected by a disaster areas are often large and the needed observations numerous. Spaceborne remote sensing techniques cover large areas but they are of limited use as their field of view may be blocked by clouds, smoke, buildings, highways, etc. Remote sensing products...conference paper 2012

De Joode, J. (author)The topic of this dissertation is the regulation of gas infrastructure expansion in the European Union (EU). While the gas market has been liberalised, the gas infrastructure has largely remained in the regulated domain. However, not necessarily all gas infrastructure facilities – such as gas storage facilities, LNG import terminals and certain...doctoral thesis 2012

Fumarola, M. (author), Huang, Y. (author), Tekinay, C. (author), Seck, M.D. (author)Simulation models are often used to analyze the behavior and performance of infrastructure systems. The use of simulation models in multi-actor design processes is restricted to the analysis phase after conceptual designs have been completed. To use simulation models throughout the design process, simulation environments need to be adapted to...conference paper 2010

Ligtvoet, A. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Stikkelman, R.M. (author)This paper describes the translation of concepts of cooperation into an agent-based model of an industrial network. It first addresses the concept of cooperation and how this could be captured as heuristical rules within agents. Then it describes tests using these heuristics in an abstract model of an industrial network. The discussion addresses...conference paper 2010

Verlaan, J.G. (author), De Ridder, H.A.J. (author)For two years now, Rijkswaterstaat, an agency of the Dutch Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management, is required to have a financial administration, which is based on accrual accounting principles. This involves the use of a balance sheet and the equivalent of a profit and loss statement. These documents will the basis for...conference paper 2010

Koerten, H. (author), Veenswijk, M. (author)Spatial information is increasingly exchanged between organizations within a National Geo Information Infrastructure (NGII). While a lot has been written on implementation strategies, yet little is known what really goes on in concrete projects. In this paper an ethnography is presented based on a narrative approach of a Dutch project, in which...conference paper 2010

Groneman, A. (author), Zlatanova, S. (author)The new 3D standard CityGML has been attracting a lot of attention in the last few years. Many characteristics of the XML-based format make it suitable for storage and exchange of virtual 3D city models. It provides possibilities to store semantic and geometric information and has the potential to incorporate topological models. A large number...conference paper 2009

Koerten, H. (author), Veenswijk, M.

Scientific research on day-to-day experiences, on what is really happening in NGIIprojects is hard to find. We propose a narrative approach to elicit...conference paper 2009

Auger, J.F. (author), Bouma, J.J. (author), Künneke, R. (author)What are the economic effects of the internationalization of infrastructures? We have addressed this question at the 12th Annual International Conference on the Economics of Infrastructures (Delft, May 2009). Internationalization of infrastructures refers to the increasing network interconnections of infrastructures across borders, and, as a...book 2009
