The rapidly growing infrastructure sector has a detrimental effect on climate change. The infrastructure sector is responsible for approximately 10% of worldwide emissions. <br/>In the past years, sustainability became more important in the procurement of infrastructure projects. One of the ways to implement sustainability in infrastructure...

Interest in driving simulators has risen due to new technologies that better resemble real-world driving and the cost reduction of driving simulator development. In recent years, safety researchers commonly use driving simulators to examine complex driving behaviors in a controlled and safe environment. However, the question remains whether or...

The gap between planning and budgeting is a problem for improving health systems. In decentralisation health care services, authority, resources, and responsibilities are moved from central actors (i.e. national government) to peripheral actors (i.e. municipalities). Adding the risk of creating silos within sub-national governments, creating the...

The fifteen-minute city (FMC) concept aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve urban liveability and free up space by promoting a modal shift from car to active modes. According to theory, the proximity of all basic needs should have a maximum travel time of 15 minutes by bike or foot to achieve the FMC goals. However, basic needs are...

Promoting cycling is an effective way to realize a more sustainable transportation system and healthier living environment. Authorities have the means to play an important role in this with the formulation of policies and the implementation of cycling interventions. However, they lack the knowledge on how to determine the effectiveness of...

Mobility of disabled people has as a basic guarantee the traffic safety. Walking for disabled may have improved considerably compared to the past, but there are stillissues such as the safe crossing at signalized crosswalks. Also, the availability of studies on safe crossing for disabled pedestrians is limited. While it has been understood how...

For several years, the importance of a neighborhood-specific approach to tackling overweight has been emphasized. However, to date, no simulation model has been encountered that provides insight into the determinants of becoming overweight in a specific neighborhood. It is therefore difficult for policymakers to decide on a set of appropriate...

The airline industry is growing and so are its emissions. To diminish the airline industry's increasing emissions, carbon-neutral growth for this industry is adopted. Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) are considered an important aspect to comply with these goals and a large upscale of the SAF industry is needed. Therefore, the European Commission...

With an increase in interest in putting people on bikes instead of driving vehicles for day-to-day transport, new regulations are being implemented to make roadways safer for cyclists while also encouraging cycling behavior among various segments of the population. The perception of safety has been proven to play a significant role in the...

Testing Sidewalk Autonomous Delivery Robot (SADR) performance in real world conditions is important to prove whether the innovation is ready for large-scale adoption. Currently, testing SADRs in public is not allowed in the Netherlands, because little is known about the actual risks associated with delivery robots, and the risks are currently...

The majority of existing infrastructure assets are ageing, and sooner or later, they will have reached the end of their service life. As a result, many asset owners are confronted with large-scale replacement projects in the coming decades. Annually, they allocate a significant number of resources, but these budgets are never adequate for...

A profound change is occurring in the Dutch energy system and significant growth in energy production from renewables can be observed. This requires flexibility solutions to balance the demand and supply of electricity. As described by the European Union in the Clean Energy Package, aggregators have the important responsibility to provide this...

To limit the effects of climate change, it is crucial to motivate contractors and the government to reduce emissions at construction sites in the infrastructure sector. This research is an exploratory study on which barriers slow down and which drivers accelerate the transition towards zero-emission construction sites in the Dutch infrastructure...

The goals of bus services can be split into patronage (regarding the number of people that actually use the service) and coverage (regarding the number of people that are able to use the service) goals. Current bus networks are designed primarily for the coverage goals, as a consequence the patronage is lacking resulting in only few bus services...

Urban mobility is a complex socio-technical system. An important part is the behaviour of mobility users, which is in this study defined as being driven by mobility opportunities and perceptions of mobility. This case study in the Tarwewijk in Rotterdam explores what influences those opportunities and perceptions, with a specific focus on income...

In order to keep the hydraulic infrastructure system in the Netherlands from deteriorating, large investments will have to be done in the near future. Decision-support frameworks help in making the right investment decisions for infrastructure that is intended to stand for a hundred years. Such a long lifetime brings forth a high level of...

The term “Green Hydrogen Economy” has been prevalent in the global economies in recent years. Interest in hydrogen as an energy carrier has increased due to the global increase in air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and increased energy demand. The Netherlands aspires to be a European leader in hydrogen deployment, as hydrogen is widely seen...
