Siebers, J.A. (author)This thesis describes a solution to the Ground Movement Problem, formulated by Atkin et al. in 2010. It is described as a routing and scheduling problem and involves directing aircraft to their destinations in a timely matter, with the aim to either reduce the overall travel time and/or to meet some target time windows. A Markov Decision Process...master thesis 2017

Van der Sman, E.S. (author)Maintaining stable flight during high turbulence intensities is challenging for fixed-wing micro air vehicles. Two methods have been identified to improve the disturbance rejection performance of the MAV: incremental nonlinear dynamic inversion and phase-advanced pitch probes. Incremental nonlinear dynamic inversion uses the angular acceleration...master thesis 2016

Ravesteijn, C. (author)Landing is one of the most difficult tasks of flying an aircraft and a majority of the incidents and accidents is related to the final approach and landing phase of flight. Comprehensive training programs are required to prepare (novice) pilots for this last phase of flight, and facilitate the development of robust manual flying skills. Various...master thesis 2016

Inaad, M. (author)As the demand for air transportation increases, it becomes more and more challenging for the aviation industry to reduce its CO2 impact. This thesis presents the potential fuel and emission benefits of implementing continuous descent approaches (CDA) at Schiphol International Airport, from cruise altitude to the final approach fix, for a large...master thesis 2016

Rezunenko, E.M. (author)This paper presents an experimental validation of a recently developed two-point human controller (HC) model for preview tracking tasks. During a human-in-the-loop experiment, subjects tracked identical target signals with zero preview, 1.5 seconds of preview, and two occlusion conditions, blocking either the 0-0.5 s, or 0.35-0.85 s region from...master thesis 2016

Hosseini, S. (author)Pioneering work reinvents the parameters of the possible, and violates the laws of the impossible. Though space exploration is an expanding topic, the future missions to the Moon are the firsts to have humans and automated systems working together to explore new terrains. Preparing the future of human-robotic integrated space operations is a...master thesis 2016

Paquim, J. (author)Stereo vision systems are often employed in robotics as a means for obstacle avoidance and navigation. These systems have inherent depth-sensing limitations, with significant problems in occluded and untextured regions, leading to sparse depth maps. We propose using a monocular depth estimation algorithm to tackle these problems, in a Self...master thesis 2016

van den Hoek, M.A. (author)As a result of new aviation legislation, from 2019 on all air-carrier pilots are obliged to go through flight simulator-based stall recovery training. For this reason the Control and Simulation division at Delft University of Technology has set up a task force to develop a new methodology for high-fidelity aircraft stall behavior modeling and...master thesis 2016

Goyal, P. (author)Various methods for route planning of on-road vehicles to serve transportation requests have been developed in the literature in order to reduce transportation and operational costs. The applicability and thus development of these methods is primarily motivated by the field of application. This article deals with the mission planning for a fleet...master thesis 2016

Snoeij, V. (author)Over the years gradually flight management systems have been added to airplanes which reduce pilot workload and increase safety. These systems however do not provide an adequate response when in an emergency situation the aircraft loses all thrust. A system that creates glide trajectories to airports that are reachable would enable pilots to...master thesis 2016

Wilken, B. (author)In the last decades, the airline industry experienced a tendency towards airspace deregulation. When airspace is liberalized, the airlines in the market have to re-position themselves the market since new airlines are expected to offer flights in the market. More competition asks for optimal revenue management and positioning of the flights so...master thesis 2016

van Hellenberg Hubar, M.E.G. (author)A tool is developed that is able to optimize the trajectories of multiple aircraft that fly in formation in order to obtain the minimum total fuel consumption. Several experiments are conducted to investigate the benefits of formation flight for commercial aircraft. Finally, also the influences of wind and delay on the trajectories of the...master thesis 2016

De Boer, L.W.M. (author)Costs associated to unscheduled and excessively prudent maintenance can contribute significantly to an airline's expenditure. Due to the complex nature of aviation related operations, reliability practices have been limited. In an attempt to improve component reliability, i.e. reduce maintenance-related costs, a new strategy was proposed which...master thesis 2016

Visser, R.M. (author)Ecological Interface Design is an interface design framework developed for process control, and recently also in aviation. An example is the Solution Space Diagram, a visual decision-support tool for air traffic controllers in Conflict Detection and Resolution. Costly Air Traffic Control training with high drop-out rates spurs research to...master thesis 2016
