The world of electric mobility and charging infrastructure has accelerated in recent years: from a start-up to a mature market. During the last decade, researchers at Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences have contributed to making the rollout and use of charging infrastructure smarter. By analysing …

Een gedragsinterventie die kan bijdragen aan het vergroten van de gelegenheid om gft te scheiden is het aanbieden van een gft-bakje en zakjes. Maar welk soort bakje kun je het beste aanbieden aan bewoners, geef je wel of niet een keuze en hoe kun je het beste de uitgifte regelen? Deze vragen hebben wij …

Wil je als gemeente of afvalinzamelaar meer te weten komen over hoe bewoners tegen het scheiden van gft-afval aankijken en ze tegelijk stimuleren hun gft (beter) te scheiden, dan is de infoquête mogelijk een interessante oplossing. Dit is een enquête en gedragsinterventie in één. De infoquête kan ingezet …

Dealing with and maintaining high-quality standards in the design and construction phases is challenging, especially for on-site construction. Issues like improper implementation of building components and poor communication can widen the gap between design specifications and actual conditions. To prevent …

Charging infrastructure deployment has taken off in many cities with the rise of the number of electric vehicles on the road. Expansion of infrastructure is a matter of prioritisation of resources to optimise the infrastructure. This paper explores how to measure charging station performance, to address …

Efforts to reduce negative externalities of urban logistics vehicle movements often concentrate on two aspects; organizing logistics more efficiently in order to reduce the number of incoming vehicles in urban areas and reducing the emissions of vehicles within urban areas. The stopping practices are …

The developments in city logistics are leading to an increasing number of smaller, time-sensitive deliveries. The parcel market has consistently grown over the past decade, with emerging business models such as ship-from-store (both B2C and B2B) and quick commerce. Moreover, companies are increasingly …

There is a lot of attention for the reduction of city logistics’ emissions. But also if city logistics’ vehicles are zero emission, the vehicles remain present in urban areas. Zero emission vehicles also occupy valuable urban space during unloading on the road and on sidewalks. Despite the spatial impact …

To realize a more sustainable city logistics system the focus should go beyond reducing emissions only. Next to zero emission vehicles, reduction of urban logistics trips is required in light of several urban, environmental and economic challenges. This contribution focuses on the role of hubs and decoupling …

De Hogeschool van Amsterdam doet al meer dan 10 jaar onderzoek naar het opladen van elektrische auto’s en de benodigde laadinfrastructuur. Een dynamische wereld waarin de ontwikkelingen heel snel zijn gegaan. Het onderzoek van de HvA is meegegroeid met deze wereld. Van AC tot DC en van plug-in hybride …
