Heezen, M. (author), Pesch, U. (author), Correlje, A. (author), van Zoonen, L. (author), ten Kate, J. (author)Smart cities are proposed as a solution for problems of urbanization. Technologies associated with smart cities involve the monitoring of human activities and resulting data streams. These technologies affect certain public values, which may be subject to change depending on their sociotechnical development. This paper presents a method that...article 2023

Lohman, W.J.A. (author), Cornelissen, J.A. (author), Borst, H.C. (author), Klerkx, R.T (author), Araghi, Y. (author), Walraven, E. (author)Urban areas are becoming increasingly crowded, and as a result it is challenging to ensure that these areas remain liveable and accessible. Municipalities need to make strategic long-term decisions regarding urban planning, which is often a difficult and time-consuming task. Digital twins of cities can assist policy makers during this process,...article 2023

(author)Movement restrictions were imposed in 2020 to mitigate the spread of Covid-19. These lock-down episodes provide a unique opportunity to study the sensitivity of urban photochemistry to temporary emission reductions and test air quality models. This study uses Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) nitrogen dioxide/carbon monoxide (NO2/CO)...article 2023

(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)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

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

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
