Nijmeijer, Wesley (author)The Dutch government has set the ambitious target to be CO2 neutral by 2050. In order to achieve this goal, large volumes of hydrogen are necessary. And if large volumes of hydrogen are necessary, hydrogen transportation infrastructure is necessary. Based on the expected volumes of hydrogen supply and demand and the distance over which hydrogen...master thesis 2023

Chen, Wen-Yu (author)Transport decision-making determines people’s level of accessibility and deeply influences an individual’s access to social and economic opportunities and the quality of life. Socially vulnerable populations are highly dependent on yet often more likely to have less access to transport services and experience lower accessibility. This creates...master thesis 2023

Witsen Elias, Julie (author)As connections between customers and suppliers become increasingly complex, the design of transport networks is under growing pressure to achieve efficiency. In response to this challenge, this paper proposes a service network design that takes into account both the forward flows from a production facility to a customer and the returning flows...master thesis 2023

Gommers, Pieter (author), Ottink, Loran (author)In this thesis the build plans for a new residential neighbourhood are used as a basis for a distribution network of the neighbourhood of the future. Data is used to simulate power flows and an analysis is given on the current method used by DSO's. Furthermore the discussion is opened to suggest different methods for constructing sustainable...bachelor thesis 2022

Williams, Sam (author)Container ships are becoming larger and larger, but also more numerous. As a result, these large ships are pushing their smaller counterparts down the line, until these smaller ships are no longer efficient for trade routes. The focus area of this thesis is on the North Sea and Baltic Sea area, in particular the area between the West coast of...master thesis 2022

Sharif Azadeh, S. (author), Vester, J. (author), Maknoon, M.Y. (author)In this paper, we evaluate the cost of the electrification of an existing bus network. We propose a family of bi-objective mathematical models to demonstrate the trade-off between strategic (i.e., battery sizing and the locations of charging stations) and operational decisions (i.e., battery degradation). The proposed mathematical models...journal article 2022

Gadepalli, Ravi (author), Gumireddy, Sushmitha (author), Bhamidipati, Srirama (author), Cats, O. (author)Many cities have introduced metro rail systems over the past two decades, particularly in developing countries. However, there is lack of knowledge on the impacts of new lines on the service and ridership for the related urban bus lines, and in particular those directly affected by the opening of the new service(s). We undertake a...journal article 2022

Geurts, Johan (author)The goals of bus services can be split into patronage (regarding the number of people that actually use the service) and coverage (regarding the number of people that are able to use the service) goals. Current bus networks are designed primarily for the coverage goals, as a consequence the patronage is lacking resulting in only few bus services...master thesis 2021

van Deursen, Julian (author)We have come to a point in time where we can no longer just vision, but must act. We are talking about the transition from waste to material. The normal course of business around raw materials is a heavily environmentally polluting business, which contributes to global warming. In 2015, 196 countries signed the Paris Agreement, agreeing to a...master thesis 2021

Landuyt, Wim (author), Somers, Korneel (author), Van de Sype, Onno (author), Van Santvliet, Pieter (author)A tiny house is a building for permanent human habitation that is specifically designed to have a limited ground surface. The tiny house design discussed in this report has a strong focus on circularity, sustainable material usage, smart systems, and affordability. To achieve an overall self-regulating and ecological concept, the aim is to...student report 2021

Madadi, B. (author)Automated vehicles (AVs) are on the horizon, and they are expected to deliver traffic safety and efficiency benefits to transportation systems. There are different automation levels for AVs based on the functionalities of the automation systems and their operating design domain (i.e., on which conditions these functionalities can be realized)....doctoral thesis 2021

Lepot, M.J. (author), Kapelan, Z. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)The knowledge of water levels and discharges in urban drainage and stormwater management (UDSM) systems is of key importance to understand their functioning and processes, to evaluate their performance, and to provide data for modelling. In this chapter, devoted mainly to underground combined and separate sewer pipe systems, various methods and...book chapter 2021

Brands, T. (author), Dixit, M. (author), van Oort, N. (author)We evaluate a large scale network change in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where a regional network of many direct bus lines is replaced by a new metro line as a trunk line and buses serving as feeder lines. For the analysis we use realized trip times from automated vehicle location data and ridership details from smart card data. In the new...conference paper 2021

Yeates, Christopher (author), Schmidt-Hattenberger, Cornelia (author), Weinzierl, Wolfgang (author), Bruhn, D.F. (author)Designing low-cost network layouts is an essential step in planning linked infrastructure. For the case of capacitated trees, such as oil or gas pipeline networks, the cost is usually a function of both pipeline diameter (i.e. ability to carry flow or transferred capacity) and pipeline length. Even for the case of incompressible, steady flow,...journal article 2021

Hatzenbühler, Jonas (author), Cats, O. (author), Jenelius, Erik (author)The maturing of autonomous driving technology in recent years has led to several pilot projects and the initial integration of autonomous pods and buses into the public transport (PT) system. An emerging field of interest is the design of public transport networks operating autonomous buses and the potential to attract higher levels of travel...journal article 2021

Conceição, Lígia (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), Tavares, José Pedro (author)AV subnetworks is a way to deal with automated traffic and its technological need that will likely increase during the AVs deployment period. This strategy carries many benefits, yet some inconveniences are worth to mention. One of them relies on the fact that the design of AV subnetworks is often in practice focused on mitigating congestion...journal article 2021

Zhao, Jing (author), Sun, Sicheng (author), Cats, O. (author)This study aims to jointly optimise regular and demand responsive transit (DRT) services, which can offer opportunities for leveraging on their respective advantages. An optimisation model with the objective of minimising the total travel time of passengers and the total fleet size is proposed. The terminal bus stops of regular bus lines, the...journal article 2021

Madadi, B. (author), van Nes, R. (author), Snelder, M. (author), van Arem, B. (author)With the advent of automated vehicles (AVs), new infrastructure planning concepts such as subnetworks of AV-ready roads have been proposed to improve the performance of transportation networks and to promote the adoption of AVs. However, these subnetworks should evolve over time in response to the growing AV demand, which necessitates a multi...journal article 2021

(author)This study focuses on network configurations to accommodate automated vehicles (AVs) on road networks during the transition period to full automation. The literature suggests that dedicated infrastructure for AVs and enhanced infrastructure for mixed traffic (i.e., AVs on the same lanes with conventional vehicles) are the main alternatives so...journal article 2021
