Environmental effects of traffic like noise are typically external and typically unpriced. This makes monetisation of these effects difficult. Much work has been spent the last few years on developing methods for monetising these (external) environmental effects. However, the application of...

Using a methodology similar to that used the in the worldwide research, the cost performance of Dutch large-scale transport infrastructure projects is determined. In the Netherlands, cost overruns are as common as cost underruns but because cost overruns are larger than cost underruns projects...

This paper examines three independent explanatory variables and their relation with cost overrun in order to decide whether this is different for Dutch infrastructure projects compared to worldwide findings. The three independent variables are project type (road, rail, and fixed link projects),...

This paper presents the employment location policy in the Netherlands as established in 1988. The theoretical concept of 'accessibility profiles' and 'mobility profiles', instruments and empirical evidence are presented. In spite of various possible critical remarks, the basic policy of 'the...

It has become a tradition in the Netherlands to assess the environmental impact of election manifestos produced by Dutch political parties. This paper shows that the assessment methodology chosen for transport policy proposals can lead to uncertain estimates. However, election manifesto...

This paper presents the results of a stated choice-study among Dutch local politicians in the context of road pricing policies. Politicians were asked to express their preferences for policy-options that differed in terms of (i) emissions reduction, (ii) congestion reduction, (iii) operational...

This paper presents an overview of options for synchronization in the transport and land-use system. We distinguish between synchronizing (a) transport networks, (b) activity locations, (c) transport networks and activity locations, and (d) ICT-based decoupling of activities from time and/or...

This paper presents the results of an interview- and web questionnaire-based study into the ethics-related dilemmas of researchers in the field of cost–benefit analysis (CBA) in the Netherlands. The results reveal first that ethical codes are only known to a limited extent by researchers in...
