He has experience as project leader of large EU and national projects and is involved in model development at the national and European level. At TML he works on general equilibrium models and analyses social, environmental, and transport economic indicators for sustainable development. His expertise includes climate adaptation in transport, public transport planning, road pricing, and infrastructure analyses.
Traffic light control systems: an overview
An overview of all traffic light control systems TML developed.
Complex Project North-South Limburg
TML conducted a social cost-benefit analysis of various project alternatives.
Planning study "De Bieshoek"
TML was responsible for analysing the mobility aspects and conducted a quick-scan social cost-benefit analysis for this project.
SMARTA
How can we focus more on sustainable and innovative mobility solutions in rural areas?
Impact studies SmartMove
TML, together with Université Saint-Louis - Bruxelles, substantiated the Brussels Government's smart road pricing scheme. In our impact study (NL and FR), we studied the effects on mobility and external costs of transport, budgetary effects, and socio-economic effects.
Gap analysis of a zero-emission automotive industry
How will Europe achieve a successful shift to zero-emission vehicles by 2035?
ITACA
The ITACA project aimed to shed light on the drivers and barriers for the adoption of new technologies in ATM.
Impact Monitor – Horizon Europe
TML contributes to the development of a framework and toolset for technology and policy assessment of the environmental, economic, and societal impacts of European aeronautics research and innovation.
SCBA R0 North
TML conducted a social cost-benefit analysis of the northern part of the Ring Road around Brussels (R0).
Study about incentives given by mobility taxation
TML investigated which factors affect the mobility choices of Flemings.
REFIT
We improved and tested sustainability indicators and models with respect to European transport policy choices.
ISEEM
We collaborated on the development and implementation of an integrated spatial-economic-ecological model for Belgium.
SUST-RUS
We developed a spatial-economic-ecological model to support Russia's sustainability policies.
Road pricing
What would be the consequences of a kilometre charge for trucks in Flanders?
ICEWIN
What are the economic effects of transport interruptions in the Baltic Sea due to ice winters?
ECCONET
What are the effects of climate change on inland waterways and inland shipping competitiveness?
ISEEM Benelux
We designed an integrated, regional economic model for Benelux.
E40 - Haspengouw
We conducted an SCBA for the connection between Sint-Truiden (Haspengouw) and the E40.
NEUJOBS
Employment 2025: How will multiple transitions affect the European labour market?
Update of elasticities in the HERMIN model
We identified and aggregated the elasticities of spillover effects through input-output linkages and externalities in the main sectors co-financed in EU cohesion policy.
I-C-EU
What is the impact of transport infrastructure on Europe's international competitiveness?
ToPDAd
We developed innovative socio-economic methods and models to enable impact analysis of regional adaptation policies.
Rebound Effects
What are the indirect or second order effects of environmental measures?
Evaluation of CO2-regulation measures for light freight vehicles beyond 2020
TML shed light on possible design options for CO2 regulations for cars and light freight vehicles.
Impact of the Belgian Truck Kilometre Charge on the Food Industry
What are the direct costs and economic impact of truck kilometre charge on the food industry?
Shifting from Labour Taxation to Road Pricing
What are the effects of possible scenarios for greening taxation (in this case, road pricing for passenger cars)?
Basic Accessibility to Flemish Urban and Regional Transport
We supported the Flemish government in underpinning and funding the core network and wider market operation of the supplementary network.
Optimisation and SCBA rail link Gent-Terneuzen
TML collaborated on a forecast to 2030 of rail transport volumes at ports of Terneuzen and Ghent, in preparation for an analysis of available rail capacity, and an SCBA.
Road pricing personal vehicles
Road charging for passenger cars in Flanders: the long-awaited report with figures. TML contributed mainly on pricing, technology and enforcement, socially responsible policies, and monitoring.
EPOC 2030-2050: Energy transition models for Belgium with time horizons 2030 and 2050
TML is collaborating on energy transition models for Belgium with time horizons of 2030 and 2050.
Monitoring instrument of Flemish transport nodes
Can we develop a tool for quantitative analysis of mobility in Flemish transport hubs?
SCBA sustainability rail traffic
What are the social costs and benefits of making rail transport more sustainable, through further electrification of the Belgian rail network or replacing diesel traction with other, sustainable modes of transport?
SCBA 3RX
This report is an update of the SCBA for the 3RX project. The new calculations lead to an improvement in the general benefit-cost ratio. However, the result is still negative.
Greening the federal tax system
What options are there to reform the federal tax system in an environmentally friendly(er) way?
Flemish road pricing for freight transport
We study the greening and broadening of road pricing for freight transport in Flanders.
Air Traffic Management Financing
In what alternative ways can we finance air traffic in Europe?
Mobility budget Hasselt-Leuven
How to encourage the use of a range of mobility services through a mobility budget for city residents?
Actualisation navigation rights
TML revises the navigation rights in Flanders.
Memorandum advising truck levy tariff structure and memorandum on tariff erosion
Commissioned by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, TML checked whether proposed fare structures meet the requirements of the revised Eurovignette Directive. TML looked critically at tariff erosion and made proposals in this regard.
Distributional impact of a regional road pricing scheme in Flanders
Opponents to road charging often voice concerns on equity. Based on an extensive study, we show that benefits and costs depend mainly on the profile of the car user and not on income, such that households with average car use generally benefit.
