First-Mile/Last-Mile is one of the burdened urban transportation problems limiting the effectiveness of public transit. Recently, the new emerged shared micro-mobility, e-scooter, came to fill this network gap and gained its popularity across the world. For this specific short-range trip mode, the d...

The paper presents a model to estimate the demand of parcels by disaggregating nation-wide commodity flows. Secondly, the model generates parcel delivery tours to quantify transport-related effects. This model is applied to simulate parcel deliveries using cargo bikes. It consists of a two-step proc...

Electric freight vehicles (EVs) are a sustainable alternative to conventional internal combustion freight vehicles. The driving autonomy of EVs is a fundamental component in the planning of EV routes for goods distribution. In this respect, a complicating factor lies in the fact that EVs' energy con...

As the introduction of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) promises to reduce road space demand and improve traffic flows and safety, adapted transportation and infrastructure planning becomes imperative for urban development. Surprisingly, some major European cities still do not include CAVs in...

Air pollution and in particular PM2.5 emissions are a major problem worldwide. Road transport is a significant contributor to PM2.5 emissions in urban areas and as such it is important to understand and be able to accurately model the effects of vehicles on PM2.5 emissions. In this paper a computer ...

E-grocery is a growing phenomenon that has the potential to rapidly change the way shopping is performed and goods distributed in cities. The impacts of this innovation can vary according to the delivery service performed, thus affecting positively or negatively the overall sustainability of urban f...

The design of hybrid electric vehicles based on real-world driving conditions becomes increasingly important due to strict legislation and complexity of future powertrain concepts. Therefore, component sizes should be optimized not only with respect to fuel consumption but also regarding real-world ...

In this work, we develop different scenarios regarding the initiatives and incentives to foster the use of electric vehicles (EVs) and test the different results on an optimal allocation tool for charging stations (ETCharger [1]) in The Hague city, the Netherlands. This is a sub-task from project EL...

Transit signal priority (TSP) is a common strategy to improve bus right-of-way at signalized intersections. However, TSP systems have several challenges, such as negative externalities for non-transit users, and handling conflicting priority requests. Considering recent advances in connected vehicle...

AbstractThe Yangtze River is the first of China and the third-longest river in the world. It is the most developed inland water transportation system in China. Chongqing, located in the upstream of the Three Gorges Project, is not only the gateway of the industrial and commercial center of China but...

Real-time systems require up-to-date information. Measurement signals in the power train of Electric Vehicles (EVs) are however often received with individual time delays due to the distributed architecture of the power train. Our idea is to compensate the time delays by predicting each signal from ...
