Economic considerations for on-road wireless charging systems - A case study

Shekhar, A. (author), Bolech, M. (author), Prasanth, V. (author), Bauer, P. (author)

Economic viability of on-road charging strongly depends on the choice of inductive power transfer (IPT) system configuration (static or dynamic charging), charging power level and the percentage road coverage of dynamic charging. In this paper, a case study is carried out to determine the expected investment costs involved in installing the on...

Triple A Tyres for Cost-effective Noise Reduction in Europe

Dittrich, M.G. (author), de Roo, F. (author), van Zyl, P.S. (author), Jansen, S.T.H. (author), de Graaff, E. (author)

Tyre-road noise is still a major and growing issue in Europe. A recent study performed in The Netherlands for the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment examined the benefits of widescale introduction of high quality labeled tyres, with ‘Triple A’ rating for rolling resistance, wet grip and noise. Two scenarios were investigated, one...

From Laboratory to Road. A 2015 update of official and real-world fuel concumption and CO2 values for passenger cars in Europe

Tietge, U. (author), Zacharov, N. (author), Mock, P. (author), Franco, V. (author), German, J. (author), Bandivadekar, A. (author), Ligterink, N.E. (author), Lambrecht, U. (author)

Official average carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions of new passenger cars in the European Union declined from 170 grams per kilometer (g/km) in 2001 to 123 g/km in 2014. During the period 2001–2014, the rate of reduction in CO 2 emissions per kilometer increased from approximately one percent per year to approximately four percent per year. A...

Logistics chains in freight transport modelling

Davydenko, I. (author)

The research presented in this PhD thesis has been motivated by the fact that the Netherlands, and the Randstad region in particular, are affected by the large transport flows and extensive operations of the logistics sector. These operations create welfare for those people who work in the sector, who own the companies, and for the Dutch and...
