Data-Driven Transportation Planning for a Large Manufacturing Plant: Analysis and development of a planning support tool for the internal transportation at Tata Steel IJmuiden

Planning the on-site transportation of large manufacturing sites is a complex process. Currently these plans are made based on the on-site logistics constraints rather than on KPIs. Research has been focused on either analysis of system parameters or generally on KPIs, but lacks the combination of both on real-life cases. This gap is closed by...

A network-wide control method for freeways

At this moment, dynamic traffic management measures are mostly focused on local level. This can result in local improvements but decreasing network performances. To optimize the network performances by the implementation of DTM measures, an optimization method is required. Model predictive control (MLP) is a network-wide and dynamic optimization...
