Wegdam, Jeroen (author)Turnouts allow trains to change from one track to another. Therefore, they are an essential part of infrastructure to create and operate a railway network. This project focuses on the (common) crossing; the part of the turnout where the inner rails cross through one another. Because of the shape of the wheels, it is necessary to create a...student report 2019

Chen, YingJu (author)Nowadays people become busier than ever before. Even though people still have 24 hours in each day, it feels as if no one has “free time” to do anything. Thus, busy people prefer using their limited time to clean the most important area indeed. It is how the idea “dust map” came. Users can create the map by themselves and the appliance will...master thesis 2019

Waheed, Atif (author)Blasting and drilling serves as an essential element for a mining operation to excel. Optimization of this operational aspect, requires consideration of various parameters that can be controllable or uncontrollable. To overcome the tediousness of analyzing each element selectively, some major parameters are outlined, and each blast is rendered...master thesis 2019

Stavroulakis, Alexandros (author)Log data, produced from every computer system and program, are widely used as source of valuable information to monitor and understand their behavior and their health. However, as large-scale systems generate a massive amount of log data every minute, it is impossible to detect the cause of system failure by examining manually this huge size of...master thesis 2019

Engelke, Anna (author)In recent years, airlines have increasingly developed the ability to monitor the condition of aircraft components by means of sensors. In turn, aircraft maintenance aims to use this sensor data to predict component failures. However, the challenge remains to make use of these prognostics to generate appropriate maintenance schedules. In this...master thesis 2019

Roes, Nena (author)Agent-based modelling (ABM) is a widespread and commonly used technique for the understanding of social system behaviour. Despite ABM being a commonly used method for the analysis of complex social systems, simulated agents still can best be described as autistic before a specific set of social rules is ascribed to them. This discrepancy leads...master thesis 2019

van den Broek, Hidde (author)Flood risk management is the process of analysing, assessing and (if required) reducing flood risks, in terms of economic costs and affected population or loss of life. The analysis is performed through a probabilistic approach in which the factors are represented by a probability distribution function to address uncertainties. However, relevant...master thesis 2019

Cramwinckel, Bas (author)To reduce food spillage and the counterfeiting of products an indicator is needed, which can indicate if a product is still suited for consumption. In this study a new indicator, made from a caseinate glycerol film, has been tested. The film breaks after exposure to humid air after a certain time. The indicator can indicate if a food product is...bachelor thesis 2019

GURUMOORTHI, Hari Prasath (author)Increase in demand for electric power and renewable sources of energy drives the need for more transmission & distribution capacity. When using DC, as RMS and peak voltage are the same, transferring more power can be economical but at the same time erecting new transmission lines is often associated with demanding approval procedures,...master thesis 2019

Quinten, Tristan (author)Investigating soil response before, during and following large scale, dynamic events like slope failure or impact hammering of monopiles, is challenging. Full scale research into these processes is often conducted in the field, as laboratories don’t offer the required space to conduct these experiments. Apart fromthe monumental costs related to...student report 2019

Huisman, Michiel (author)Edge computing can deliver substantial value to the general idea of the Internet of Things (IoT). However, there is a myriad of potential IoT applications for edge computing. Stakeholders are left with uncertainty about how the business potential of edge computing for these IoT applications can be identified. This research contributes in solving...master thesis 2019

Misra, Mohit (author)The safety in the high voltage substations rely on the integrity of its grounding grid. A single discontinuity at any part of the grounding grid may cause a swell in touch or step potential that may expose the personnel to a hazard of critical electric shock. It may also lead to malfunction of the protection devices leading to erroneous tripping...master thesis 2019

Damdam, Khaled (author)Coastal zones have been a dynamic area and most favoured locations utilized for living, leisure, recreational activities, tourism, commerce and many other human activities. Submerged and floating breakwaters have been used as effective systems to protect these zones from wave attack. However, they are only effectively functional if the incident...master thesis 2019
