Optimising a vehicle's approach towards an adaptively controlled intersection

Traffic emissions at controlled intersections can be reduced when the possibilities of infrastructure-to-vehicle communication are put to good use. In this study the authors present two applications: one infrastructure-based and one vehicle-based that in concert are able to significantly reduce the overall emissions at a controlled intersection....

Developments in consequence modelling of accidental releases of hazardous materials

The modelling of consequences of releases of hazardous materials in the Netherlands has mainly been based on the “Yellow Book”. Although there is no updated version of this official publication, new insights have been developed during the last decades. This article will give an overview of new developments in consequence modelling, focussing on...
