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

Niklaß, Malte (author), Lührs, Benjamin (author), Grewe, V. (author), Gollnick, Volker (author)Within this study, the lack of incentivizing airlines to internalize their climate costs is tried to be closed by the introduction of climate-charged airspaces, as non-CO2 emissions have locationand time-dependent effects upon the climate. 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

Raso, L. (author), Barbier, Bruno (author), Bader, Jean Claude (author)Dams can produce electricity and ensure water security, but at the same time they radically alter the hydrological regime of rivers with significant consequences for the economic and environmental welfare of the region in which they are located. Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is currently the most frequently used framework for the economic...journal article 2018

Mouter, N. (author)Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) has a long tradition as a broadly-used instrument for assessing transport infrastructure investments. In a CBA, the discount rate often determines whether a project passes the benefit-cost test. One concern is that literature on the subject offers widely differing recommendations regarding which discount rate...journal article 2018

Lührs, Benjamin (author), Niklaß, Malte (author), Frömming, Christine (author), Grewe, V. (author), Gollnick, Volker (author)Besides CO2, the climate impact of commercial aviation is strongly influenced by non-CO2 effects, which are highly sensitive to meteorological conditions and their spatial variations. To assess the cost-benefit potential (climate impact mitigation vs. cost increase) of climate and weather optimized flight trajectories in the North Atlantic...conference paper 2018

Kolen, B. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)It is important for decision-makers in emergency response situations to determine the scope, scale, timing, path and resettlement area of an evacuation decision when there is an imminent threat of flooding. In this paper, a method called the "Evacuation Diagram" is described to support risk-based evacuation planning and decision-making. In...journal article 2018

Zhang, Rong (author), Jian, W. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)An important problem in the assessment of reliability benefits of transport projects is that link level improvements must be translated to network level, so that they can be economically valued based on users’ trips from origins to destinations. For intermodal transport, shipments follow a chain with more than one mode. Generally, this requires...journal article 2018

However, there is a lack of knowledge of the extent to which the objectives of open government data initiatives are achieved. This article investigates the relationship between the objectives of open...journal article 2018

A fuzzy multi-criteria decision making approach for analyzing the risks and benefits of opening dataLuthfi, A. (author), Rehena, Z. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Crompvoets, Joep (author)Governments are releasing their data to the public to accomplish benefits like the creation of transparency, accountability, citizen engagement and to enable business innovation. At the same time, decision-makers are reluctant to open their data due to some potential risks like misuse, sensitivity, ownership, and inaccuracy of the data. The...conference paper 2018

Dupuits, E.J.C. (author), Schweckendiek, T. (author), Kok, M. (author)Coastal flood defense systems can consist of multiple lines of defense. In case of a system with a front and a rear defense (e.g. a storm surge barrier and levees), the front defense can improve the reliability of the rear defense by reducing the load on this rear defense. This paper develops a framework in order to assess whether including...journal article 2017

Gunawan, Helmi (author), Bressers, Hans (author), Mohlakoana, Nthabi (author), Hoppe, T.
