Optimal Stop Location Analysis for Urban Tram Systems: A Multi-Objective Optimisation Model for Minimising Social, User and Operator Costs

Enhancing and expanding public transportation is becoming a crucial solution to the high costs of congestion and the escalating environmental impacts of car-centric transportation systems observed in numerous cities today. One approach to enhance the quality of public transportation, and thereby boosting its ridership, is through the intelligent...

Investment Optimized Airport Infrastructure for Battery and Hydrogen Canister Swaps

In this thesis, we consider investment optimization for airport infrastructure which is required charge and refuel electric and hydrogen powered aircraft using battery and hydrogen canister swaps respectively. The task at hand is to determine the most cost-effective infrastructure, consisting of spare batteries, and battery chargers for electric...

A single-objective, multi-period optimization model of an alternative maritime fuel supply chain network in the Port of Amsterdam

To reduce the CO2 emissions of the maritime industry, several alternative fuels are being researched to possibly achieve this goal. The absence of an infrastructure for alternative fuels in the current port environment is one of the barriers towards implementation of these high potential fuels. The goal of this thesis project was to create an...
