de Vos-Effting, S.E. (author), Smal, L. (author)Duurzaamheid, of lage milieubelasting, kan in EMVI aanbestedingen gewaardeerd worden. Er zijn de afgelopen 20 jaar normen, databases en tools gemaakt, waarmee de milieubelasting over de levenscyclusanalyse bepaald kan worden. DuboCalc is zo’n mooi instrument om milieubelasting te beoordelen. Toepassing van DuboCalc in EMVI is een stap vooruit...conference paper 2016

Shekhar, A. (author), Prasanth, V. (author), Bauer, P. (author), Bolech, M. (author)The economic viability of on-road wireless charging of electric vehicles (EVs) strongly depends on the choice of the inductive power transfer (IPT) system configuration (static or dynamic charging), charging power level and the percentage of road coverage of dynamic charging. In this paper, a case study is carried out to determine the expected...article 2016

However, because the distal part of volcanic ash plume is far from the volcano, the influence of eruption information on this part becomes rather indirect and uncertain, resulting in inaccurate volcanic ash forecasts...article 2016
