TULIPS
The TULIPS project – Demonstrating Lower Polluting Solutions for Sustainable Airports across Europe – aims at developing, demonstrating and implementing solutions to reduce the carbon footprint at airports. This project includes a research team from Técnico and was selected by the European Commission, within the European Green Deal, under the Horizon 2020 programme. The TULIPS consortium brings together 29 partners, is led by Schiphol Airport, but also involves Oslo, Turin and Larnaca airports.
The work carried out over 48 months will improve the multimodal transfer of passengers and cargo, as well as the airside infrastructures for future electrical / hybrid aircraft, the study of smart energy solutions to manage airport operations, among other things.
TU Delft and DiTTlab involvement
Multiple TU Delft faculties are involved with various sub-projects within the project.
TU Delft and DiTTlab play a leading role in the WP on ‘Sustainable Inter-modal transport connections’, in which they lead the task on ‘Local inter modal connections ecosystem and data aggregation’, led by Prof dr. Serge Hoogendoorn, and involving Prof dr. Hans van Lint and Dr. Neil Yorke-Smith. We also lead the task on ‘Road traffic and transport Systems’, led by Dr. Simeon Calvert.
Within this WP, two PhD researchers and a part-time postdoc researcher are also employed.
Expected start and end dates: Jan 2022 – Dec 2025
