Active teaching and learning in GI sciences: lessons learned from the BSc. course Open Urban Data Governance

A new active teaching and learning approach has been implemented in the BSc course Open Urban Data Governance.. This course is part of the minor Spatial Computing for Digital Twinning in the Bachelor of Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences at the Faculty of Architecture and The Built Environment, TU Delft, and offered TU wide as an...

Microclimate Analysis of the TU Delft Campus

With the Urban Heat Island Effect on the rise and 66% of the global population expected to live in the cities by 2050, new ways of building for this urban growth need to be researched. In this report the cooling effects of green and water structures on urban landscapes are examined. To realize this, we opted to recreate a 3D model of the chosen...

Containing urban sprawl: An integrated improvement of space-tranport strategies to reduce air pollution emission

Diverse effective strategies have been designed to minimize the phenomenon of urban sprawl. Previous research focused on the link between spatial and transport development strategies to achieve this goal, with the intention of increasing mobility, reducing commuting time and travel costs. However, a side effect of urban sprawl is an increase of...

Controlling Urban Sprawl with Integrated Approach of Space-Transport Development Strategies

Urban sprawl phenomenon has been a huge issue since 20th century characterized by a rapid and unbalanced settlement development with transportation network particularly in a suburban area. The improvement of public transport system is a major requirement to minimize urban sprawl. Academic researchers have explained the linkage strategy between...

Empirical analysis of heterogeneous traffic flow

Traffic flow in many developing countries is strongly mixed comprising vehicle types, such as motorcycles, cars, (mini) buses, and trucks; furthermore, traffic flow typically exhibits free inter-lane exchanges. This phenomenon causes a complex vehicle interaction, rendering most existing traffic flow modeling approaches insufficient and...

Voorspelling van golfoverslag over golfbrekers en zeeweringen met behulp van neurale netwerken - Neural Network Prediction of Wave Overtopping at Coastal Structures

Development of a neural network based on a large database of field and laboratory data in order to calculate overtopping. Comparison with existing formulas.

The international database on wave overtopping

One of the main objectives within the EU-project CLASH (www.clash-eu.org) was to create a generic prediction method for wave overtopping at coastal structures by means of the Neural Network technique. An extensive and homogeneous database on wave overtopping was set up within CLASH, mainly with the aim to be used for the training process of the...
