A Research Programme The Jaap Bakema Study Centre was established in 2013 as a collaboration between Het Nieuwe Instituut and TU Delft’s Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment. The goal was and is to instigate academic research in the fields of architecture and urban planning based on the rich holdings of the State Collection of Dutch Architecture and Urbanism, which is accommodated by Het Nieuwe Instituut. Not only between Delft and Rotterdam, but also together with third parties depending on the scope of each project. In 2019 and 2020 the Jaap Bakema Study Centre collaborates with the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon for the museological project ‘Art on Display 1949–69’, which revisits the special relationship between art and architecture and the involved conceptual exchanges between the two disciplines. Speaking in general terms, the research programme of the Jaap Bakema Study Centre is situated at the intersection of advanced historical- theoretical studies and urgent social issues. The results of the programme are made public through various formats, from spatial installations and exhibitions, to books, cahiers and online dossiers, archive explorations and public seminars. Each year, the Jaap Bakema Study Centre organizes an international conference on topics related to its research programme. The conference series is devised as a platform for exchange and discussion, open to junior and senior scholars from around the world, a nexus between the domains of academia and culture, between experts and the larger audience. Previous editions dealt with themes such as the open society, the relationship between research and exhibitions, architectural drawing in the digital age, the tools and knowledge of the architect, and the legacy of Aldo and Hannie van Eyck. This year’s edition, Architecture and Democracy, focuses on the years 1965 to 1989, in which welfare state arrangements were contested by counterculture movements and the rise of populism. While government institutions sought a proper response, urban renewal and city repair became a new field of work for architects and planners. The focus on Architecture and Democracy was chosen in connection with the start of the new PhD-programme of the same name. Starting in 2018, the research group Architecture, Culture and Modernity was established at TU Delft by my colleague Jorge Mejia Hernandez and myself. The new PhD-programme Architecture and Democracy is at the core of the group’s research work. It reframes much of our long-lasting interest in the post-war histories of architecture and planning, modern architecture and the welfare state. 7 For the purpose of the conference and the overall research programme the two terms of Architecture and Democracy are deliberately juxtaposed next to one another. Their interrelationships are manifold as they are complicated. The collection of twenty papers, the archive presentations and the keynote lecture by Esra Akcan, that make up the full programme of the conference make this crystal clear in a most eloquent way. Looking at the contributions brought to the conference, the question of the place of democracy in architecture and vice versa, is answered by investigations into social justice and how this plays out into space, especially urban space, by ways of contestation, appropriation, planning and design, from practices of direct democracy and participation to the critique of institutional policies. To refocus once again on the political and ideological dimensions of architecture, is in function of a reflection on and a speculation about the societal relevance of our work. And as such, it also aims to critically probe the autonomy of the architectural discipline, to redefine the values of our work, and to explore the possibilities of alternatives to current models of knowledge production. 8 Moderated by Jorge Mejía Hernández (TU Delft) Ideologies and Politics.

    Asset Management in Rail Public Transport Sector and Industry 4.0 Technologies

    Bruno Teixeira Cavalcante de Magalhães Daniel Machado dos Santos Débora Cristina Faria de Araújo Gustavo Henrique Lucas Jaquie ASSET MANAGEMENT IN RAIL PUBLIC TRANSPORT SECTOR AND INDUSTRY 4.0 TECHNOLOGIES Brasília, Brazil November 2020 Bruno Teixeira Cavalcante de Magalhães Daniel Machado dos Santos Débora Cristina Faria de Araújo Gustavo Henrique Lucas Jaquie A Final Educational Project Submitted to Deutsche Bahn AG in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Rail and Metro Rail Transportation Systems Management Certificate Program This Final Educational Project was prepared and approved under the direction of the DB Rail Academy, Mr. Marcus Braun. Brasilia, Brazil November 2020 ABSTRACT Industry 4.0 is the concept adopted to refer to new technologies that have been deeply impacting the entire industry, in practically all sectors. The development of technologies associated with the internet of things (IoT) and intelligent systems is driving the industry towards digital transformation. In this scenario, many possibilities arise for the rail public transport sector, mainly for Asset Management, considering that Asset Management represents a significant portion of the operator's efforts and costs to keep the commercial operation running. This work presents the traditional asset management concepts currently used in the public transport sector on rails, as well as some opportunities for using Industry 4.0 technologies in this sector. Then, a methodology for implementing these opportunities is proposed, with the agile methodology being suggested as an implementation strategy, considering a cost- benefit analysis, risk analysis, project plan, implementation plan and financial plan. It is expected that the ideas presented in this work can stimulate other sectors of the industry to move towards Industry 4.0, which is an inevitable trend and will certainly determine in the medium and long term who will survive in an increasingly competitive environment.

After an exploratory review of the existing literature and research documents, a structured questionnaire based on the Supply Chain Capability Maturity Model S(CM)2 was applied. The study measured an overall average level, given in S(CM)2, as Managed, meaning that the managerial development standard of the logistics agents was at an intermediate level. The results showed that maturity was related to the size of the LSP and the complexity of the organizational management. These findings can support the development of policies and strategies for the improvement and adoption of practices that best lead to gains in competitiveness for both LSPs and the Supply Chains (SCs) that require their services.

    Projection of Macroeconomic Impacts on the Toll Plazas Waiting Time Queueing: a Case Study in Brazil

    International Journal of Research in Engineering and Science (IJRES) ISSN (Online): 2320-9364, ISSN (Print): 2320-9356 www.ijres.org Volume 4 Issue 3 ǁ March. 2016 ǁ PP.68-80 Projection of Macroeconomic Impacts on The Toll Plazas Waiting Time Queueing: A Case Study In Brazil Mariana Gonçalves de Carvalho Wolff*, Marco Antonio Farah Caldas Industrial Engineering, Universidade Federal Fluminense, Niterói, Brazil. Rua Passos da Pátria, 156, Bloco D, Sala 309, São Domingos, Niterói, Brazil. SUMMARY:- This study aims to understand the flows of vehicular traffic in a toll plaza impacted by macroeconomic events. The study provides the traffic demand of commercial and small vehicles on a Brazilian highway until the year 2020. This Highway plays an important role for the oil industry and the development of the region depends mostly on it. The population, the region's Gross Domestic Product and oil production are considered as explanatory variables. The data used is divided by the toll plaza, vehicle type and area of influence. A simulation model for discrete events is used based on the actual scenario and future events. The model concludes that the amount of commercial vehicles will rise significantly, generating an increase in the queue waiting time of the toll plazas, going up to nineteen minutes. To reduce the stakeholders impact the study suggests some steps for planning the highway in the medium term. Keywords:- logistics bottleneck; simulation; macroeconomic development; transportation planning; linear regression. I. INTRODUCTION The country´s economic development needs a quality infrastructure that allows a flow of vehicles and people and also allows developing less accessible areas, facilitating their access to major cities and ports.
