(author)In the last 15 years semantic 3D city models have seen a steady growth in terms of creation and adoption. Many cities world-wide have now at least one city model which can be used for several applications. Energy- and sustainability-related topics are among those that have experienced a noteworthy increase of interest from the Geomatics...conference paper 2022

Kim, L.J. (author), Phillipson, F. (author), Wezeman, R.S. (author)This paper considers the problem of identifying optimal locations for wireless service installations in smart cities. The problem is modelled as a facility location problem with multiple service types, known as the Multi Service Facility Location Problem (MSCFLP). Given a set of potential facility locations and demand point data, the goal is to...conference paper 2022

Borst, J. (author)Our society is facing some of its biggest ever challenges. Energy, mobility, housing, climate, growing social inequality. All transitions that require governments’ attention. Technology can contribute to the solutions, but it also brings new challenges with it. Examples are the digitisation that made large-scale working from home possible during...report 2022

Borst, J. (author)In this paper TNO describes three challenging urban mobility themes and possible solutions. Bringing about a liveable city is a systemic challenge, a matter of format, in which mobility is a dominant factor. TNO helps policymakers to set up the innovation process and provides the necessary insights for making the right choices. With over 90...report 2022

Kin, B.D.W. (author), Hopman, M. (author), Quak, H.J. (author)The transition from diesel-driven urban freight transport towards more electric urban freight transport turns out to be challenging in practice. A major concern for transport operators is how to find a reliable charging strategy for a larger electric vehicle fleet that provides flexibility based on different daily mission profiles within that...article 2021

Super, I. (author), Dellaert, S.N.C. (author), Tokaya, J.P. (author), Schaap, M. (author)Constraining urban emissions is gaining more attention because of the important role of cities in reaching na tional climate mitigation targets. Urban inverse modelling studies could constrain emissions of large hotspots, but still face many challenges. It has been argued that more detailed information is needed on both atmospheric transport and...article 2021

(author)The changing composition of the atmosphere, driven by anthropogenic emissions, is the cause of anthropogenic climate change as well as deteriorating air quality. Emission inventories are essential to understand the contribution of various human activities, model and predict the changing atmospheric composition, and design cost-effective...article 2020

(author)As energy generation based on renewable resources does not always match energy consumption profiles, Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) should embody energy flexibility technologies to decrease possible negative impacts on existing grids due to, e.g., reverse power flows. As part of the EU H2020 Smart Cities and Communities project POCITYF, the...article 2020

Quak, H. (author), van Duin, R. (author), Hendriks, B. (author)Urban consolidation centres (UCCs) have been discussed over many years in the city logistics literature. The amount of successful UCCs in the long run were, and are, very scarce, though. Little is published on the practical issues and experiences of running a UCC and offering UCC-services. In the Netherlands, Binnenstadservice (BSS) has run UCCs...conference paper 2020

Huovila, A. (author), Bosch, P.R. (author), Airaksinen, M. (author)City managers need indicators for target setting, performance assessment, monitoring, management and decision-making purposes. The choice of the most suitable indicator framework is crucial, but difficult, as it requires expert knowledge. To help cities in their choice, this paper compares seven recently published indicator standards for Smart...article 2019

Hoekstra, G. (author), Phillipson, F. (author)We consider the problem of distributing various services over urban areas. In this work we introduce the Multi-Service Capacitated Facility Location Problem with Partial Covering (MSCFLP-PC), which extends the MSCFLP by allowing for partial satisfaction of demand, where a penalty has to be paid for the uncovered demand. We present some practical...conference paper 2019

Quak, H. (author), Nesterova, N. (author), Kok, R. (author)Authorities aim at making the urban freight system more sustainable. The most common instruments to do so are regulation or stimulation of good practices, by offering subsidies or initiating projects together with the private parties that are responsible for actually performing urban freight transport operations. This contribution examines the...conference paper 2019
