Inland waterway transport is a low CO2 emission alternative to road transport. A shift towards more inland waterway transport could also help reduce road congestion and noise pollution. Infrastructure bottlenecking, particularly at locks, is part of the reasons preventing this shift. Congestion is leading to delays. Locks can be physically...

Until recently, tenders in Europe were awarded to wind farm developers based on the highest auction prices or the lowest subsidized bids. The wind industry has suggested that non-price-related criteria should be considered for tenders, like plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As a result of the sustainable tender criteria, greenhouse gas...

Air transport has gone from a once in a lifetime experience for the extremely rich to a day to day method of transportation for everybody. With the increase in passenger movements the amount of baggage that goes through airports has increased as well. This could cause problems for airports if they have a limited capacity in one of the parts of...

Errors during truck loading at dock doors lead to unwanted wrong deliveries in logistics. Due to the falling price of RFID tags, RFID dock door discrimination is now being used for product registration. The problems that arise with the current system for RFID Dock Door Discrimination are cross-reads and miss-reads. The purpose of this research...

With routing algorithms approaching optimization limits, other approaches are required to further improve the last-mile delivery of goods. In this paper, an analysis is made of the effectiveness of nudging customer delivery windows at order creation dependent on a dynamic spatial grouping to improve last-mile routing performance. During this...

Quay cranes on modern container terminals have the possibility to lift two 40ft. containers side by side. In order to be able to perform this type of lift, the crane must be equipped with a tandem spreader. As this type of spreader cannot be used for performing certain lifts, such as the handling of hatch covers, switches between single spreader...
