Anis, Summair (author), Sacco, Nicola (author), Saeednia, M. (author)Climate change stresses the need for research and development of innovative sustainable mobility solutions that provide reliable and convenient door-to-door services for both passengers and freight. The increase in urban population and the popularity of e-commerce further highlights the need for action. In this regard, crowd-shipping is often...journal article 2024

Roukouni, A. (author), Aquilué Junyent, Inés (author), Marti Casanovas, Miquel (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author)Seamless, efficient transport intermodality is a key aspect of the transition of cities toward sustainable mobility. The new “shared mobility hub” concept is increasingly gaining attention as a potential way to make this urgently needed transition happen. The present paper aims to provide an insightful view of the promising concept of shared...journal article 2023

de Haas, M.C. (author)Mobility is an important part of daily life. With modern mobility systems, people have access to a range of transport modes allowing them to basically reach any destination they want. Although people often have multiple options to choose from, personal mobility is dominated by motorized road transport in many countries and cities, also in the...doctoral thesis 2022

Lee, Sujin (author), Lee, Jinwoo (author), Hiemstra-van Mastrigt, S. (author), Kim, E.Y. (author)As city-level modal splits are outcomes of city functions, it is essential to understand whether and how city attributes affect modal splits to derive a modal shift toward low-emission travel modes and sustainable mobility in cities. This study elucidates this relationship between modal splits and city attributes in 46 cities worldwide,...journal article 2022

de Koning, Remco (author), Guan Zhen Tan, Wendy (author), van Nes, A. (author)Energy usage in cities is intertwined with its spatial configuration—the denser and more compact the city, the more concentrated and efficient the energy usage is to be expected. To achieve sustainable communities, cities (and their inhabitants) must reconsider its spatial configurations in the context of rapid urbanisation and growth in light...journal article 2020

Gil, J.A. (author)This thesis proposes a framework for evaluating the mobility potential and performance of urban areas in the city region, as an instrument to support urban development that contributes positively to regional sustainable mobility objectives. The research takes a quantitative approach, modelling and measuring the characteristics of a city-region...doctoral thesis 2016

Munao, D. (author)The area of nanotechnology is one of the most active fields in science today. It is often seen as the area that could lead to substantial progress in terms of finding new materials with new properties. In this respect, silicon nano-particles are found to be greatly attractive because of their significant technological implications. Considering...doctoral thesis 2012

Gil, J. (author), Read, S. (author)This paper is an exploration into the analysis of public transport networks using space syntax approaches combined with concepts of sustainable accessibility. Present urban development policy aims to achieve sustainable mobility patterns, shifting mobility to soft transportation modes such as walking and cycling, supported by a more integrated...conference paper 2012

Zegeye, S.K. (author)Computationally efficient dynamic fuel consumption, emissions, and dispersion of emissions models are developed. Fast and practically feasible model-based controller is proposed. Using the developed models, the controller steers the traffic flow in such a way that a balanced trade-off between the travel times, fuel consumption, and emissions (to...doctoral thesis 2011

(author)A product service system (PSS) is a function-oriented business model aimed at providing sustainability of both consumption and production. A PSS is defined as a marketable set of products and services capable of jointly fulfilling user needs. In theory PSSs are normally shown realized with smart products. The first PSS were largely motivated by...conference paper 2010

Van der Hoeven, F.D. (author)The attention the electric car receives as a promising means of sustainable transportation seems at times to overshadow the rise of that other electric vehicle: the pedelec or electric bicycle. For those who don't know yet: a pedelec is a bicycle assisted by an electric motor. That motor is powered by a rechargeable (lithium-ion) battery. The...conference paper 2009

Van der Hoeven, F.D. (author)Vijf jaar promotieonderzoek naar de mogelijke inzet van ondergronds bouwen voor de inpassing van autosnelwegen leidde tot deze publicatie. Verkeerstunnels moeten de ruimtelijke kwaliteit rond de infrastructuur verbeteren en mogelijkheden bieden voor meervoudig ruimtegebruik. De Ring Rotterdam en de Ring Amsterdam staan model voor deze benadering...doctoral thesis 2001
