Planning of container terminal operations is a complex task, which requires the accurate scheduling of operations that are highly interrelated and uncertain. This study aims to investigate the integration of quayside operational planning functions under uncertain parameters by applying a reactive approach. …

This report presents a validated workflow that shows how digital platforms such as FMaaS can facilitate the development of new multimodal freight corridors. We interviewed six logistics managers and found three critical requirements that shippers won't compromise on. First, the platform needs to be run …

The decarbonisation of the aviation industry requires strict regulation to align with the EU Green Deal, which aims to make the EU the world’s first climate-neutral region by 2050. EU regulations continuously evolve and impact the key performance indicators (KPIs) used to measure progress towards this …

This dissertation describes the dynamics of motor competence (MC) development from early childhood (EC) to middle childhood (MCD). Being motor competent in early childhood creates a window of opportunity for taking part in physical activities later in childhood and adulthood. However, there is a worrying …

This research examines the causes of resident outmigration from Venice and explores strategies to reattract former residents and make the city more livable for its local population. The objective is to determine how challenges derived from overtourism, such as housing shortages and infrastructure strains, …

Decarbonisation of urban logistics is a pressing issue. About one third of the freight-related CO2 emissions in the Netherlands relates to urban logistics, consisting of both vans and trucks. Although electrification is a feasible solution, delivery models that not only focus on reducing the carbon footprint, …

This research advances the theoretical foundation by presenting a practical and comprehensive design approach for Connected and Autonomous Transport (CAT) systems. Using a morphological chart, this paper decomposes the complex elements of CAT systems into sub-functions, each offering multiple feasible …

Limited data is available on the size of urban goods movement and its impact on numerous aspects with respect to livability such as emissions and spatial impact. The latter becomes more important in densifying cities. This makes it challenging to implement effective measures that aim to reduce the negative …

"The global shift toward electric vehicles (EV) and renewable energy highlights the need for educational models that are both scientifically rigorous and accessible to diverse learners. Research in STEM education demonstrates that hands-on, project-based learning increases student engagement, understanding, …

"The integration of e-mobility into the energy mix plays a crucial role in reducing CO₂ emissions, as transportation remains one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas output. By addressing urban mobility challenges and optimizing electric vehicle systems, this teaching concept links technical …
