Barriers and Strategies Analysis For E-motorcycle Battery Swap Technology Diffusion In Indonesia: A Circular TIS-ISM Integrated Approach

The global transportation sector's heavy reliance on fossil fuels poses significant environmental challenges. In response, many countries, including Indonesia, are exploring sustainable alternatives like electric vehicles (EVs). With abundant nickel reserves, Indonesia aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the adoption of EVs,...

The willingness to pay of various types of bike parking-users at train stations for different types of facilities and stations

Bike-train usage contributes to more sustainable and also more reliable transport. Nowadays, approximately 45% of the train passengers in the Netherlands access the station by bike. Therewith, the focus of policy makers shifts to the total “door-to-door” travel experience. Bicycle usage is stimulated, and the facilities are adapted accordingly....

Novel Technology for Hydrogen Separation from Natural Gas using Pressure Swing Adsorption

Australia has a high potential for production of renewable energy, such as wind and solar. Due to the stochastic operating conditions, excessively produced energy can be used to produce hydrogen by electrolysis to store the energy, known as power-to-gas. This hydrogen can be injected into the existing natural gas pipeline network, providing both...

Meta-heuristic improvement of order picking efficiency: Exploiting cross-order similarity in a goods-to-person warehouse

This research aims at determining a suitable order release strategy for a warehouse featuring a shuttle-based storage and retrieval system with multiple goods-to-person picking workstations. These picking workstations facilitate efficient picking; however, current release strategies do not take similarity between orders into account, while this...

Polder pumping-station for the future: designing and retrofitting infrastructure systems under structural uncertainty

In designing and retrofitting infrastructure systems, engineers are increasingly confronted by uncertainties about the future operating conditions of these systems, stemming from climate change or rapid socio-economic development. Particularly for long-lived capital-intensive infrastructure components like pumping stations, current...

Heat Transfer Enhancement in Passively Cooled 5G Base Station Antennas Using Thick Ground Planes

The thermal and electromagnetic effects of varying the ground plane thickness and aperture size of the 5G integrated base station antennas are investigated. A double-sided PCB structure is designed with antennas and digital beamforming chips on the opposite sides. Fully-passive cooling is achieved by using fanless CPU coolers attached to the...

Station Zuidas Amsterdam

Design of infrastructural node ZuidasDok in Amsterdam's Zuidas, which organizes the different flows of traffic, while offering freedoms for the pedestrian. The historical Zuidelijke Wandelweg that got demolished when the ground got prepared to construct Zuidas and Buitenveldert, is transformed and rebuilt and is now part of the public domain of...

Breaking the barrier: A new railway station in Koog Zaandijk

The project is situated at the area of Koog Zaandijk in the municipality of Zaandam and proposes an urban plan with a new residential district that exploits its touristic potential. The design of an elevated train station is part of that masterplan and replaces the existing station. It serves as a hybrid station that connects the two separated...

Improving the Connection: Transforming the Metropolitan station area of Hollands Spoor

The ongoing development of traffic congestion throughout The Netherlands has been part of Dutch policy for a long time now, with no actual results in decreasing this mobility issue. The Hague, as part of the Randstad where traffic congestion plays a large role, is an important connection on all levels. With investments in Central Station,...
