In response to the growing demand for air travel, major airports are approaching critical thresholds in their infrastructure capacity. As the transportation sector continues to expand, it is increasingly important to address environmental concerns that arise from aspects, such as noise annoyance and fuel consumption. This paper aims to enhance...

Improper fuel loading decision results in carrying excessive dead weight during flight operation, which will burden the airline operation cost and cause extra waste emission. Existing works mainly focused on the post-event fuel consumption based on flight trajectory. In this work, a novel deep learning model, called FCPNet, is proposed to...

The mining industry is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and operational costs. The transportation of materials within mining operations, especially using diesel-powered trucks, accounts for a substantial portion of both emissions and costs. Optimizing fuel consumption in this context is crucial for environmental...

To keep the global warming of the Earth to a minimum, the greenhouse gas emissions need to be reduced. Van Oord aims to be carbon neutral by 2050; therefore, Van Oord is exploring alternative fuels. Ammonia is a promising option to use as a fuel due to the forty times lower well-to-wake emissions than MGO when it is produced with green energy....

The terminal airspace that surrounds an airport is the area with high flight density and complex structure. Aircraft are asked to follow the standard arrival and departure routes in terminal airspace, yet the actual trajectories may deviate due to air traffic control (ATC) instructions, pilots' decisions, surveillance and flying performance...

In the context of climate change and global warming, the attention on the environmental cost of pavements is increasing. To scientifically quantify the environmental cost of pavements, accurate prediction of rolling resistance and fuel consumption is important. In this paper, a comprehensive review on rolling resistance of asphalt pavements...

The world is moving towards sustainability and there is immense pressure on Aerospace Industry to reduce its emissions to contribute to a carbon-neutral world. However, maturing gas turbine technology is a big bottleneck towards this goal and hence, this project focuses on the technical and economic feasibility of a new type of propulsion system...

An important step in determining the performance of a commercial ship is to determine the vessel fuel consumption in offdesign conditions. In previous studies, the vessel fuel consumption is obtained using machine learning algorithms which use navigational data and meteorological data to train the models. Due to the inaccuracy of the weather...

The shipping industry, which remains the backbone of international merchandise trade, is striving to reduce its operational cost and more importantly its environment impact. New ships need meet the EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index) requirements of IMO (International Maritime Organization). However, the current EEDI is not able to accurately...

Often, vessels have multiple operation modes that are specialised for a certain task. If a vessel is employed with a controllable pitch propeller(CPP), the blade pitch can be adjusted, adding a degree of freedom to the system. This advantage creates the possibility to increase the diversity of operation modes of the vessel and allows for...

Streng, Jurjen (author)
Climate change and greenhouse gas emissions have been at the forefront of both public and academic debate for some years. Although the shipping industry has managed to remain relatively free of climate regulation this is changing with the IMO goals for 2050. The military sector has also escaped scrutiny on sustainability issues. But this is also...

Hybridization of diesel multiple unit railway vehicles is an effective approach to reduce fuel consumption and related emissions in regional non-electrified networks. This paper is part of a bigger project realized in collaboration with Arriva, the largest regional railway undertaking in the Netherlands, to identify optimal solutions in...

The thesis focusses on the effects that an intercooler (IC) and an inter­turbine burner (ITB) have on the cycle performance of a UBPR engine. The IC is located between the low­pressure compressor (LPC) and the high­pressure compressor (HPC). It exchanges heat between the core flow and the bypass flow reducing the temperature in the core flow....

The flight planning process is an extensive and long process to direct and maintain a high level of operations within the airspace. As air traffic demand grows year after year, it's worthwhile to optimise the European air traffic system further. One way of optimising the system, is by creating optimal flight schedules that solve for demand...

In a world where the population and many economies are expanding rapidly the demand for freight transport keeps rising accordingly. As more goods are transported by a growing number of freight vehicles, in particular trucks and sea vessels, their already considerable negative environmental impact also rises. Technology advances, but demand...

Mavroudis, Stamatis (author)
In this thesis, it was examined how high-frequency operational data collected from an automated recording system, can be used to develop a vessel’s performance model. Both the traditional and the Machine Learning (ML) approach were examined. In the traditional approach, every component of the propulsion plant was examined separately, while...

Hybrid electric propulsion is a promising new technology to reduce emissions and fuel consumption of an aircraft. In this study a parallel hybrid electric configuration is considered. Since electric motors supply power in the most demanding take-off and climb phases to achieve the required thrust, the turbofan can be redesigned.<br/><br/>It was...

This study evaluated the performance of an eco-approach control system at signalized intersections under a partially connected and automated vehicle (CAV) environment. This system has the first eco-approach controller able to function with the existence of surrounding human-driven traffic. A previous evaluation only confirmed its benefits....

The paper first investigates the influence of daily mobility of population on evaluation of aircraft noise effects. Then, a new air traffic assignment model that considers this activity is proposed. The main objective is to reduce the number of people affected by noise via lowering as much as possible the noise exposure level L <sub>den</sub...
