  The Dutch Innovation Centre for the Electrification of Road Transport

  Onder de naam D-INCERT (Dutch Innovation Centre for Electric Road Transport) hebben innovatieve bedrijven en kennisinstellingen, waaronder de universiteiten van Twente, Eindhoven en Delft een sterk kennisnetwerk neergezet en de afgelopen vier jaar samengewerkt aan meerdere resultaten.</p> <p>more

  Process improvements in incident management

  Snow storms, traffic accidents and other unexpected events can seriously disrupt infrastructures such as railroads and electricity networks. Incidents can never be fully prevented, but their impact can be minimized through smart incident management.more

  Multi-agent coordination and intelligent control of infrastructure networks

  Due to the liberalization of the electricity sector, the number of players involved in the generation and distribution of electricity has increased significantly. In the near future the number of &lsquo;input&rsquo; nodes will even further increase as more small-scale solar and wind energy installations will start to feed electricity into the network.more

  Modelling risk control measures in railways

  Requirements on railway safety are often perceived to be conflicting with other goals, such as keeping the system going. Traditional risk management deals with these goals separately. Delft researchers are designing more integrated methods of risk control.more

  Intelligent control methods for flood and water management

  Effective water management will become increasingly important. Water management is currently decentralised, with each water board managing a regional area with its own water bodies and waterways. However, the effects of water management are felt beyond these regional areas borders; even beyond country borders. Effective coordination is vital.more

  Multi-actor dynamic congestion pricing – strategies for road capacity management

  Paying for using the road is a topic known to cause a major controversy. The idea of tollgates on freeways raises a fierce opposition and so far politicians have hesitated to opt for this flexible control mechanism in the road transport system.more

  Handling uncertainty in implementing Advanced Driver Assistance Systems

  Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) is an in-vehicle system that supports the driver of a vehicle in complying with the local speed limit (In other words, that helps the driver to comply with the legal speed limit, or make sure the driver cannot drive faster than the speed limit).more

  Modelling complexity: an interactive approach

  Infrastructures have become so complicated that they show unpredicted and unwanted behaviour. The sub-programme Understanding Complex Networks focuses on obtaining a fundamental understanding of the complexity of these infrastructures through a variety of different research projects. This umbrella project identifies common findings and challenges.more

  The future of strategic alliances in the utility sector

  This study, led by Mark van Twist, describes the consequences of alliances in the utility sector for the safeguarding of public interests.more

  Strategic alliances in infrastructure – moving beyond regulation

  Companies in the utility sector often form strategic alliances to cope with ongoing changes, such as increased competition. These alliances can help partners to build a stronger market position. Governments, however, are often suspicious of alliances.more
