Hamming, Paula (author)Freight transport is a crucial component of our society and economy. However, achieving sustainability in this sector is complex, due to a lack of incentives among stakeholders. The heavy-duty road transport sector is struggling to meet European emission standards. To address this issue, a research study examined the impact of combining Battery...master thesis 2024

Breysens, G. (author)This thesis investigates the potential of state-dependent sampling strategies (SDSS) for the control of heavy-haul trains. Event-triggered control (ETC) is a control approach in which data is only sent when some state-dependent condition, the triggering condition, is satisfied. In this way, the number of communications required to stabilise a...master thesis 2023

de Regt, Hannah (author)This report explains the design of an information tool, created to help shippers inform themselves on the emission reducing actions available to reduce road freight transport emissions. Different emission reducing actions for road freight transport are researched and compared based on emission reducing potential and cost. These different...master thesis 2022

Schot, Rick (author)Heavy-duty trucks (HDTs) are a significant contributor to global anthropogenic carbon emissions. In contrary to passenger cars, HDTs have to cope with decarbonization complications due to range and weight characteristics. Overhead catenary electric road systems (ERS-OC) can aid in decarbonizing this sector. Here, trucks are equipped with a...master thesis 2022

Beijneveld, Anne Bart (author)In this paper, we introduce the Air Freight Flight Schedule Development Problem (AFFSDP). In this problem, a cargo-only carrier has to adjust an existing flight schedule based on changes in the predicted demand. The result of this research is a model that combines airport selection, fleet routing and cargo routing, together with the use of a ...master thesis 2021

Bharadwaj, Ishani (author)The synergic effect between the spatial organisation and freight transport is crucial for transport planners to understand. It will help in improving freight transport planning. The absence of freight data has made such a study difficult. This research aims to understand the relation between spatial organisation and freight transportation by...master thesis 2020

Guðmundsson, Daníel (author)The digital world allows for increased levels of innovative activity as well as cooperation, through the increased networking it provides. Innovations have often been the subject of academic literature, where scholars attempt to identify the success and failure factors of innovative endeavors. A review of the contemporary literature has...master thesis 2020

Houtsma, Y. (author)Road freight transport has a major impact on society with external effects such as congestion, air pollution and carbon emissions. Therefore, the European Commission stimulates the more sustainable alternative Intermodal Freight Transportation (IFT). To increase the share of IFT, it is needed to know the performance of the current IFT-network....master thesis 2020

Roosmale Nepveu, Maarten Nepveu (author)Urbanisation levels keep rising and all major cities in Europe face common transport and traffic problems. The city of Amsterdam needs a reliable transport and mobility system to foster economic growth, but at the same time transport is causing congestion, pollution and accidents. To scientifically explore the research question, Transport...master thesis 2020

van den Boogaard, Raquel (author)The ever increasing need of developing efficient solutions for the transport of cargo, able to reduce transport costs while complying to green policies has promoted the use of multimodal transport during the last decades. Multimodal<br/>transport consists of the use of at least two modes of transportation for the transport of cargo from origin...master thesis 2019

Caminada, Sytze (author)Serious games have the potential to be used as an innovative data collection method. Combining this with Discrete Choice Modelling (DCM) could create a methodology that provides insight into the player's behaviour and allows for creating a realistic simulation. This innovative Game and Choice Based Simulation (GCBS) methodology has been...master thesis 2019

Oostdam, Martijn (author)Hydrogen as an energy carrier is seen as an important option to reduce the CO<sub>2</sub> emissions in the transport sector. However, limited research is done into the possibilities of using a hydrogen truck in freight road transport. This article considers the following question: <i>Under which...master thesis 2019

Thoen, Sebastiaan (author)Tour formation is a distinguishing feature of freight transportation. An increasing amount of research is dedicated to the consideration of tour formation in freight simulation models, but these tour formation models lack statistical calibration on empirical data, do not represent shipments explicitly, or focus on a narrow segment of freight...master thesis 2018

Karampelas, Dimitrios (author)As the margins for improvements in the current freight transport system become limited, researchers address more and more the importance of collaboration between the actors which is crucial for the implementation of new, more efficient transport concepts as synchromodality. In addition, rail is concerned as a sustainable mode of transport that...master thesis 2018

Uswatun Hasanah, Uswatun (author)Intermodal Inland Waterways Transportation (IIWT) has been the first alternative to reduce the dependency on road transportation in the Netherlands. However, with the growth of freight shipping demand, several problems have been faced by IIWT: small size barge’s congestion and insufficiency of inland terminal handling’s capacity. The idea to...master thesis 2018

Koedood, Kevin (author)In the Netherlands the cities of Rotterdam and Amsterdam are coping with problems of air quality and congestion caused by inner-city transport. The continued demand for cleaner air, especially in the inner-city, has produced multiple experiments in sustainable transport.Some of these solutions can be seen as radical innovations; however a...master thesis 2018

Langer, Johannes (author)Cities are on a constant move. People hurry from home to work, from business meetings to sports clubs, or from shopping tours back home. Cars, trucks, bicycles and scooters are rolling along streets, bringing people and goods to their destinations. But sometimes this never-ending movement staggers, and with it the dynamism that is the trademark...master thesis 2017

van Dam, Wirdmer (author)Freight transport is an essential component of the economy, as among other things it ensures the availability of finished goods to consumers. Synchromodal transport is a new transport method that aims to use real-time and flexible switching among different modes of transport according to the latest logistics information, to utilise the different...master thesis 2017

Li, Ke (author)Due to the rapid increase of global trade and deepening integration within the European Union (EU), freight transport across the EU has had relatively fast growth. However, constraints of transport infrastructure, interoperability and governance issues do slow down the developments of freight transport. There is a need for transport planning...master thesis 2017
