The Propeller and Engine Performance of the 'Castillo de Tebra' subject to Waves

In the modern world, environmental concerns arise due to an increase in the green house gas (GHG) emissions of the shipping industry; in 2015, 2,5% of global GHG emissions came from the shipping industry alone. Measures must be set in place to reduce the future emissions. One way to reduce emissions is by imposing the Energy Efficiency Design...

Incorporating Human Factors to Explain the Diving Behaviour under Adverse Weather Conditions

Modern societies are heavily relied on efficient transportation systems for mobilizing people and goods. These systems are mainly constituted by road traffic networks. Currently, traffic demand is immense and perpetually increasing with unprecedented rates that traffic congestion has become an imminent subsequent. Over time, all this human...

The influence of adverse weather conditions on probability of congestion on dutch motorways

Weather conditions are widely acknowledged to contribute to the occurrence of congestion on motorway traffic by influencing both traffic supply and traffic demand. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper that explicitly integrates supply and demand effects in predicting the influence of adverse weather conditions on the probability...

The influence of adverse weather conditions on the probability of congestion on Dutch highways

This study incorporates both the highway traffic demand change and the highway capacity reduction in the estimation of the congestion probability at Dutch highways as a result of adverse weather conditions. Congestion effects at the Dutch highways account for serious economic damage. Between May 2010 and April 2011 there were 68 million vehicle...

Longitudinal Driving Behavior under Adverse Conditions: A Close Look at Psycho-spacing Models

Adverse weather conditions have been shown to have a substantial impact on traffic flow operations following substantial adaptation effects in driving behavior. In quantifying these effects psycho-spacing models may be used. In this contribution it was examined to what extend adverse weather conditions influence the position of action points in...
