Within PREMIUM_EU we have co-responsibility for developing the Regional Development Effects Module (RDEM). This module will map the impact of migration on regional development seen on different variables. To construct the RDEM we have to:1. develop a typology of regions, based on the impact that mobility has on its economic, social and cultural development; and2. detect the causal linkages between regional mobility on the one hand and regional development on the other.In our presentation we will focus on the process to determine relevant regional development indicators that will help in the collection and analysis of relevant data for the period 2010-2022 on NUTS 2 and 3 level. Partners in our project will additionally focus on:1. Analysis of regional networks estimated from Facebook2. Building typology regional development3. Longitudinal causal analysis of mobility4. Integration of case studiesFinally, this will result in:• Online atlas of mobility & development typologies• Report Causal Analysis of mobility development
The Netherlands are one of the frontrunners in stimulating electric mobility in Europe when it comes to the charging infrastructure density and electric vehicle adoption. Municipalities play an instrumental role in the rollout of public charging infrastructure while they have little insight in the relevant key performance indicators of the charging infrastructure as a means to support effective decision making. This paper aims to contribute to providing a more thorough understanding of relevant key performance indicators for public charging infrastructure. An approach is presented that explores result and performance indicators to support policy makers optimizing the roll out of and improvement of the business case for charging infrastructure.
From the article: "After 1993, the concept of strategic alignment is evaluated from the connection between IT and business to much broader definitions in which the connection between all business functions, horizontally and vertically, and later also with projects and stakeholders is mentioned. To achieve stategic alignment there must be a coordination between the strategy of organizations and those who contribute to the implementation of the strategy and the actual performance of an organization. This process is called Human Oriented Performance Management (HOPM). The HOPM model consists of four dimensions: strategy translation, information and visualization, dialogue and action orientation, and continues improvement and organizational learning. To measure the effect of strategic alignment a range of financial performance indicators are used. Based on a literature review this paper explores which financial performance indicators could be used to measure the effect of HOPM. The literature was selected over a period from 1996 – 2015. The research is not only focused on the top of the strategy map, but also on the cause-effect relationships in the strategy map. The underlying performance indicators in the strategy map can show on which figures the dialogue in the HOPM model about strategy implementation must be based. This dialogue is the input to action in which strategic alignment comes about. The goal of the research is to optimize this dialogue by looking for performance indicators that can show the effect of HOPM" The article is used for the course: 'corporate policy' minor MSMM (Masterclass Strategic Marketing Management).
In the last decade, the automotive industry has seen significant advancements in technology (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles) that presents the opportunity to improve traffic safety, efficiency, and comfort. However, the lack of drivers’ knowledge (such as risks, benefits, capabilities, limitations, and components) and confusion (i.e., multiple systems that have similar but not identical functions with different names) concerning the vehicle technology still prevails and thus, limiting the safety potential. The usual sources (such as the owner’s manual, instructions from a sales representative, online forums, and post-purchase training) do not provide adequate and sustainable knowledge to drivers concerning ADAS. Additionally, existing driving training and examinations focus mainly on unassisted driving and are practically unchanged for 30 years. Therefore, where and how drivers should obtain the necessary skills and knowledge for safely and effectively using ADAS? The proposed KIEM project AMIGO aims to create a training framework for learner drivers by combining classroom, online/virtual, and on-the-road training modules for imparting adequate knowledge and skills (such as risk assessment, handling in safety-critical and take-over transitions, and self-evaluation). AMIGO will also develop an assessment procedure to evaluate the impact of ADAS training on drivers’ skills and knowledge by defining key performance indicators (KPIs) using in-vehicle data, eye-tracking data, and subjective measures. For practical reasons, AMIGO will focus on either lane-keeping assistance (LKA) or adaptive cruise control (ACC) for framework development and testing, depending on the system availability. The insights obtained from this project will serve as a foundation for a subsequent research project, which will expand the AMIGO framework to other ADAS systems (e.g., mandatory ADAS systems in new cars from 2020 onwards) and specific driver target groups, such as the elderly and novice.
One of the mission-driven innovation policies of the Netherlands is energy transition which sets, among others, the challenge for a carbon-neutral built environment in 2050. Around 41% of Dutch houses do not yet have a registered energy label, and approximately 31% of the registered houses have label C or lower. This calls for action within the housing renovation industry. Bound to the 70 percent rule, a renovation plan requires full (or at least 70 percent) agreement on the renovation between relevant parties, including residents. In practice, agreement indicators focus mostly on economic and energy aspects. When indicators include people’s needs and preferences, it is expected to speed participation and agreement, increasing residents’ satisfaction and enhances the trust in public institutions. Tsavo was founded in 2015 to organise the sustainability of buildings for ambitious clients. Its sustainability process aims to accelerate renovation by keeping at their core value the social needs and preferences of residents. In this project Tsavo and TU Delft work together to optimise the sustainability process so, it includes everyone’s input and results in a sustainability plan that represents everyone. Tsavo’s role will be key in keeping the balance between both a sustainable renovation service that is cheaper and fast yet also attractive and with an impact on the quality of living. In this project, Tsavo’s sustainable renovation projects will be used to implement methods that focus on increasing participation and residents’ satisfaction. TU Delft will explore principles of attractive, accessible and representative activities to stimulate residents to decide on a renovation plan that is essential and meaningful to all.
Wereldwijd zorgen riffen, gebouwd door biobouwers zoals koralen en schelpdieren, voor belangrijke ecosysteemdiensten waaronder kustveiligheid, visserij en recreatie. Deze riffen staan echter onder toenemende druk en door het verlies van natuurlijke harde substraten gaat ook de biodiversiteit en productiviteit van het mariene ecosysteem achteruit. Tegelijkertijd is er juist een toename van kunstmatig hard substraat voor mariene infrastructuur, zoals dijken, havens en golfbrekers. Vanwege de goede verwerkbaarheid en grote toepasbaarheid, is het meest gebruikte materiaal voor mariene infrastructuur beton. Beton heeft echter grote nadelen: 1) De cementindustrie is verantwoordelijk voor 5-7% van de wereldwijde CO2 uitstoot en 2) op beton groeien door de suboptimale chemische samenstelling andere ecologische gemeenschappen dan op natuurlijke riffen. De komende jaren zal er, door klimaatverandering en economische ontwikkeling, nog meer op zee gebouwd worden. Er is daarom een wereldwijde noodzaak voor materialen die een lagere CO2 footprint hebben dan beton en ecologisch beter functioneren. In het RAAK-publiek ECODAMI (Ecologisch Optimale en Duurzame Alternatieve materialen voor Mariene Infrastructuur) project werkt hogeschool VHL samen met publieke partijen Waterschap Noorderzijlvest, Rijkswaterstaat, Public Entity Saba en partners uit zowel de bouwkundige als ecologische hoek aan de interdisciplinaire vraag “Welke alternatieve materialen kunnen gebruikt worden om mariene infrastructuur te verduurzamen en tegelijk de onderwaternatuur te verrijken?” Om deze vraag te beantwoorden worden alternatieve materialen voor beton geproduceerd en getest op conventionele eigenschappen zoals verwerkbaarheid en sterkte. De meest kansrijke materialen worden in experimenteel labonderzoek getest op de vestiging van indicatorsoorten, waarna de best functionerende materialen worden gecombineerd. Via experimenteel veldonderzoek in de Waddenzee, de Zeeuwse delta en bij Saba (Caribisch Nederland) wordt de ontwikkeling van ecologische gemeenschappen op de proefblokken onderzocht en wordt een laatste selectie gemaakt. Op deze manier resulteert het ECODAMI project in duurzame en ecologisch optimale bouwmaterialen die direct toepasbaar zijn in mariene infrastructuur.
