Wauben, Chris (author)The Twin Dike project is an innovative concept to achieve the required flood safety while being able to preserve valuable areas. A lower, second dike is constructed behind the original existing dike. The original dike is only being strengthened to a minimal extent. The general idea behind this project is to more efficiently use the area near the...master thesis 2019

Westerhuis, Nathan (author)Even though both the number and the size of tall building developments are increasing, tall building economics remain understudied. The goal of the research is to study developer behavior regarding height premiums in residential tall buildings. Literature offers little knowledge on developers’ behavior when it comes to height premiums in the...master thesis 2019

Mouter, N. (author)Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is a widely used economic appraisal method that aims to support politicians in making decisions about projects and policies. Several researchers have tried to uncover the extent to which CBA actually impacts decision-making by investigating the statistical relation between the results of CBA studies and political...book chapter 2019

Alves, Alida (author), Gersonius, Berry (author), Kapelan, Z. (author), Vojinovic, Zoran (author), Sanchez, Arlex (author)Green-blue infrastructures in urban spaces offer several co-benefits besides flood risk reduction, such as water savings, energy savings due to less cooling usage, air quality improvement and carbon sequestration. Traditionally, these co-benefits were not included in decision making processes for flood risk management. In this work we present...journal article 2019

Drozdova, Polina (author), van Hout, Roeland (author), Scharenborg, O.E. (author)Native listeners benefit from talker familiarity in recognition memory and word identification, especially in adverse listening conditions. The present study addresses the talker familiarity benefit in non-native listening, and the role of listening conditions and listeners’ lexical proficiency in the emergence of this benefit. Dutch non-native...journal article 2019

Mouter, N. (author), Cabral, Manuel Ojeda (author), Dekker, T. (author), van Cranenburgh, S. (author)Environmental effects of transport projects have a weak position in Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) which might be rooted in the valuation approach adopted in the dominant style of CBA. This conventional valuation approach has been criticized for not valuing positive and negative impacts of transport projects in relation to each other and for not...journal article 2019

Dupuits, E.J.C. (author), Klerk, W.J. (author), Schweckendiek, T. (author), de Bruijn, K. M. (author)In risk analysis of riverine flood defence systems, sections of flood defences are often considered separately, herewith ignoring their interdependence, e.g. due to the hydraulic response following dike breaches in the system. In previous studies it has been found that such interdependence can have a significant influence on flood risk estimates...journal article 2019

Sustainability indicators: Monitoring cross-county water cooperation in the Nzoia river basin, KenyaOnencan, A.M. (author), Enserink, B. (author), van de Walle, B.A. (author)Kenya Water Services Regulatory Board (WASREB) Impact Report indicates a stagnation in water coverage at 55 percent, for the last three years, contrary to the 2015 target of 80 percent. One main reason for the stagnation is weak cross-county cooperation between hydrologically interdependent governments. WASREB has little guidance on what...journal article 2019

Luthfi, A. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Crompvoets, Joep (author)The public expects government institutions to open their data to enable society to reap the benefits of these data. However, governments are often reluctant to disclose their data due to possible disadvantages. These disadvantages, at the same time, can be circumstances by processing the data before disclosing. Investments are needed to be...conference paper 2019

Gopalan, Srinivasan (author)The European Union through its Roadmap 2050 has mandated nearly zero energy as the standard for all building stock. While newly built buildings will be of nearly zero energy standard by 31 December 2020 (public-owned buildings after 31 December 2018), new buildings form only 1% of the addition to the existing building stock which implies that to...master thesis 2018

Pappie, Gideon (author)As the amount of air traffic increases every year, the capacity of the current Air Traffic Control (ATC) structure is reaching its limit. Shifting the responsibility of aircraft separation from the ground to aircraft (free flight) eliminates the ATC constraint for aviation growth. Furthermore, free flight allows for direct routing of aircraft....master thesis 2018

To achieve this objective, first we present “Kallipos”, a large-scale open access textbook publishing initiative that was launched in 2013 by the Hellenic Academic Libraries Link (HEAL-Link) consortium....conference paper 2018

Klapwijk, Jeffrey (author)Continuous Climb Operations aim at improving the efficiency of a flight's climb phase by reducing the number of level-offs. The associated fuel-benefits help airlines and airports to comply with future emission demands, rising fuel prices and modernizing airspace requirements. Previously, most studies in this field only considered the effect of...master thesis 2018

van Leeuwen, Michel (author)Current literature on the usage of the experience curve in a societal cost-benefit analysis is lacking. It is unclear how the experience curve should be used in a societal cost benefit analysis and how large the effect or added value is.

Niklaß, Malte (author), Lührs, Benjamin (author), Grewe, V.

In order to create an incentive for airlines to minimize flight time and emissions in highly...conference paper 2018

Welle Donker, F.M. (author), van Loenen, B. (author)Much research has emphasised the benefits of open government data, and especially high-value data. The G8 Open Data Charter defines high-value data as data that improve democracy and encourage the innovative reuse of the particular data. Thus, governments worldwide invest resources to identify potential high-value datasets and to publish these...conference paper 2018

Welle Donker, F.M. (author)Open government data are fast becoming entrenched in our society. However, even though open government data may be “free”, it is not “gratis”. It takes substantial human and financial resources not only to collect and maintain government data, but also to process the data to be suitable for distribution as open data. Those resources need to be...book chapter 2018

Kouwenhoven, M.L.A. (author), de Jong, Gerard (author)The value of travel time can theoretically be defined as the opportunity cost of travel minus the direct utility from spending the time during the trip. This paper searches for empirical evidence to support this formulation. We show that travellers who indicate that a shorter trip duration is useful or a longer trip duration is very...journal article 2018

Mouter, N. (author), van Cranenburgh, S. (author), van Wee, G.P. (author)Cost-benefit analyses for transportation projects usually value impacts on safety and travel time through experiments in which consumers of mobility (‘drivers’) choose between routes which differ in safety and travel time. This approach has been criticized for failing to consider that private choices may not fully reflect citizens’...journal article 2018
