On the family history of professional cyclist Raymond Impanis (1925-2010) and Flemish origin of his surname
No full textOn the family history of professional cyclist Raymond Impanis (1925-2010) and Flemish origin of his surname. (in Dutch)
Raymond Impanis (1925-2010) was in de jaren ‘50 en ‘60 van de twintigste eeuw een zeer succesvol wielrenner. Over zijn familienaam en afkomst doen allerlei geruchten de ronde. Hij was echter geen vondeling zoals algemeen werd aangenomen

The European PROSPER-project: Final results of the trial on Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) in Belgium
No full textIn October 2002 a first ISA-trial in Belgium was held in Ghent. Until January 2004, 34 cars and 3 buses were equipped with the “active accelerator pedal (AAP)”. This means when the driver attempted to exceed the speed limit, a resistance in the accelerator was activated. If necessary, the driver could overrule the system. To study the effect of the ISA-system both surveys and analyses of driving data were held.
Data logging shows a clear effect of the ISA-system on speeding behaviour. Speeding reduces significantly. There is however still a large remaining percentage of distance speeding, especially in low speed zones. Differences between drivers are large. For some drivers speeding increases despite activation of the system. For less frequent speeders average driving
speed almost always increases and for more frequent speeders average tends to decrease. Less frequent speeders tend to accelerate faster towards the speed limit and drive exactly at the speed limit in stead of safely below, which causes average speeds to go up

Sustainable mobility or sustainable activity? The application of an activity-based model for environmental impact assessment
No full textShop opening hours and population exposure to NO2 assessed with an activity-based traffic model
No full textIn this work we assess for the first time the impact of a policy measure on population exposure to NO2 by using the activity-based model ALBATROSS, the emission model MIMOSA and the dispersion model AURORA. We found that widening shop opening hours changes the activity pattern of the adult population in the Netherlands. It increases kilometres driven, and as a consequence, emissions. When matching, the concentration maps with the dynamic population, we observe an increase in population exposure to NO2
Modeling Personal Exposure to Air Pollution with AB2C: Environmental Inequality
No full textAbstractThe AB2C model (Activity-Based modeling framework for Black Carbon exposure assessment) was developed to assess personal exposure to air pollution, more specifically black carbon. Currently the model calculates exposure in Flanders, an urbanized region in Western Europe. This model is characterized by the use of time-activity patterns, and air pollution concentrations with a high spatial and temporal resolution, including indoors and in the transport microenvironment. This model can be used for disaggregated exposure assessment or the evaluation of policy scenarios. In this paper, exposure of people from a lower socioeconomic class (SEC) is compared to the exposure of people from a higher SEC. In most North American studies, it is reported that poorer people are exposed to higher concentrations and suffer more from health effects associated with elevated exposure to air pollution. In Europe, fewer studies exist in this field, and results are not always conclusive. In this study, people from a lower SEC were found to be exposed to higher concentrations at home, but ‘richer’ people travel more, especially in traffic peak hours. This results in an average exposure that is higher for members of a lower SEC, but inhaled doses are similar in both groups. This analysis suggests that differences in health impact between the groups are almost completely explainable by increased susceptibility to air pollution health effects, and not by increased air pollutant intake
