In 2016 is in het kader van het Sia Raak Pro INTRALOG (intelligent Truck Application in Logistics) onderzoek gedaan naar de praktische toepassingsmogelijkheden van zelfrijdende vrachtvoertuigen (Automatic Guided Trucks/ AGT) op de zogenaamde interne baan (CER) tussen de terminal op de 2e Maasvlakte onderzocht. …

This study investigates whether a system of hub locations distributing goods across the water to the city of Amsterdam can be a potential future solution to guarantee same-day delivery to shopkeepers. A simulation model was developed to analyse the logistics performances and to optimise the number of …

INTRALOG is a project, to better use of materials, there by leading to improvements for People (better safety, lower physical work load), Planet (lower emissions and energy/ fuel con started September 2015, in which Automated Guided Truck Applications will be developed. Automated systems typically perform …

This report describes the development software of the Ship Monitoring and Management system. The Transport sector is one of the biggest sectors in the Netherlands. Products are transported by road, rail and river. Most of the sectors in the transport sector try to reduce the environmental footprint. However …

Om mee te komen in de markt van de truck- en treinlaadarm dient een kwalitatief product te worden neergezet met een concurrerende prijs. Om dit te realiseren heeft de student een onderzoek gestart naar de mogelijkheden om de prijs van de laadarm te verlagen terwijl de kwaliteit van het product gelijk …

Treintjes van vier vrachtwagens hebben de toekomst in de transportwereld. Amsterdam moet daar snel op inspelen, schrijven Dick van Damme en Walther Ploos van Amstel.

The present study aims at understanding how individuals engage in organized crime activities. Processes responsible for organized crime involvement are still poorly understood, particularly for those who become engaged only later in life. In-depth interviews with 16 inmates, all convicted of participation …

Fuel cell hybrid vehicles are believed to provide a solution to cut down emissions in the long term. They provide local zero-emission propulsion and when the hydrogen as fuel is derived from renewable energy sources, fuel cell hybrids enable well-to-wheel zero-emission transportation, …

The objective of an energy management strategy for fuel cell hybrid propulsion systems is to minimize the fuel needed to provide the required power demand. This minimization is defined as an optimization problem. Methods such as dynamic programming numerically solve this optimization problem. Strategies …

An existing fuel cell hybrid distribution truck, built for demonstration purposes, is used as a case study to investigate the effect of stack (kW) and battery (kW, kWh) sizes on the hydrogen consumption of the vehicle. Three driving cycles, the NEDC for Low Power vehicles, CSC and JE05 cycle, define …
