  • Adaptive planning for electric vehicle charging infrastructure
    Item type: Other Publication
    Ye, Qiming; Adey, Bryan T.; Bansal, Prateek (2024)
    NSL Newsletter
    Although a transition to electric vehicles (EVs) has potential to greatly reduce transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions, it faces significant challenges, including range anxiety and limitations in battery capacity. Effective long-term planning for EV charging infrastructure can overcome these barriers and increase the chances of widespread adoption. The authors propose a multi-period planning approach for this effective long term planning that uses exploration of many future scenarios of transport system evolution and reinforcement learning. The approach is based on the idea that planners update their understanding of the evolution of the transport system over time as they optimally sequence decisions with respect to the location, size, and types of chargers. This approach supports the adaptive planning of the built environment and thereby has the potential to enable planners to better reach societal goals

  • The «Contact Zone» of Agadir’s 1960 Emergency Aid Programme
    Item type: Other Publication
    Nuijsink, Cathelijne (2021)
    NSL Newsletter
    The reconstruction of the Moroccan city of Agadir in the immediate aftermath of the devastating 1960 earthquake is an exemplary yet much overlooked cross-cultural «contact zone» between local and international rescuers, experts, citizens, organizations, and governments. Studying why the development aid Morocco received was not unconditionally accepted, but rather turned into an «encounter» between different agents negotiating, contradicting but also merging their knowledge, elucidates the production of a hybrid form of architectural knowledge that lies at the heart of the character of the rebuilt city of Agadir.

  • Exploring Urban Scale Models
    Item type: Other Publication
    Zaugg, Maxime; Avermaete, Tom (2020)
    NSL Newsletter
    Urban scale models are crucial for communicating urban design ideas between various stakeholders, from those directly involved in a project – e.g. client, developer, contractor, municipality – to the broader public. However, our knowledge about this tool is limited. Understanding the shifting role of urban design from the 1960s, when participatory design processes were popularized, to today, highlights the importance of the urban scale model as a communicative tool in urban design.
  • Tight timetable vs. resilient network
    Item type: Other Publication
    Toletti, Ambra (2014)
    NSL Newsletter
    The reduction of buffer times in Swiss timetables enables the scheduling of more trains to face the recent demand growth for freight and passenger transport. The drawback is a loss of resilience of the railway network, in particular in main station areas. New approaches based on Operations Research have been developed to exploit the huge amount of routing possibilities in these areas in order to help resolve conflicts in case of disturbances.
