van Bussel, Ghislaine (author)This report presents the process of defining a future vision and concept for NS train stations in 2030. This graduation project, in partnership with NS, seeks to explore the future context of NS train stations, taking into account various factors, including societal themes. The ViP method (Hekkert and Van Dijk, 2011) guided the process of...master thesis 2023

Baurichter, Matthijs (author)Computers are preferred above humans when dealing with information processing because of the great memory and fast computing times. The use of algorithms within complex planning processes is an interesting research field. These algorithms should help human planners with the planning process and therefore are called Planning Assistance Tools (PAT...master thesis 2020

Buurmans, Kristijn (author)Railways are facing the challenge to simultaneously increase the capacity and the operational performance of their network. Automatic train operation (ATO) can be one of the technologies to increase the capacity of the railway network. The specifications for ATO over the European Train Control System (ETCS) automatic train protection system have...master thesis 2019

Shiferaw, Yonatan (author)LoRaWAN is amongst the most prominent LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Networking) technologies and provides an operation mode, called Class B, where devices can be reached with limited latency. One of the most important features of LoRaWAN Class B is multicast, which allows a single transmission to be shared by multiple multicast group member end...master thesis 2019

Hollemans, Anne (author)This project was executed for NS (Nederlandse Spoorwegen). Research was done to discover what kind of travellers visit the OV Service & Tickets shop and why they visit the shop. The OV Service & Tickets shop is a shop which can be found on ten (bigger) train stations in the Netherlands. For example in The Hague. NS provides service in...master thesis 2018

Jongeling, Alexander (author)In the world of DC railway trains nowadays, asynchronous-traction machine with traction controllers, i.e. an inverter with variable output frequency, is implemented. This controller changes the incoming DC voltage into an AC voltage of a variable frequency and RMS amplitude. The disadvantages of switching inverters, compared to a pure sine wave...master thesis 2017

Haverkamp, J. (author)In recent years there has been an increasing interest in the concept of Demand Responsive Transport (DRT). The area of application has almost exclusively been limited to road bound systems. Applying DRT as a substitute for current heavy rail services has not been considered in literature or practice before. This thesis is a first step into the...master thesis 2017

Janssens, S.E.B. (author)NedTrain, the train maintenance subsidiary of NS, has 33 Service Locations across the Netherlands. At those locations, trains are checked, repaired, washed, cleaned and stabled around the clock. Due to a higher demand for service in the upcoming years, as a result of the purchase of many new trains, the capacity of those locations is not...master thesis 2017

Van den Broecke, J. (author)In this work a study was performed on the electrical, fluid-mechanical and net efficiency of nanosecond-pulsed dielectric barrier discharge (ns-DBD) plasma actuators. The plasma actuator efficiency was tested for dielectric barriers with a thickness between 0.5 and 1.5mm and made out of four different materials: Kapton, Lexan, PTFE and silicone...master thesis 2016

Popov, I. (author)Nanosecond dielectric barrier discharge (NS-DBD) plasma actuators is relatively<br/>new means of flow control. It has several advantages compared to more conventional<br/>means of flow control, such as small size, low weight, fast response time<br/>and controllability. It has been demonstrated to be able to promote transition of<br/>boundary...doctoral thesis 2016

Correale, G. (author), Avallone, F. (author), Yu Starikovskiy, A. (author)A method to quantify the efficiency of the first two operational stages of a nanosecond dielectric barrier discharge (ns-DBD) plasma actuator is proposed. The method is based on the independent measurements of the energy of electrical pulses and the useful part of the energy which heats up the gas in the discharge region. Energy input is...journal article 2016

Avallone, F. (author), Correale, G. (author)An experimental investigation was conducted on the effective efficiency of a nanosecond Dielectric Barrier Discharge (ns-DBD) plasma actuator. Back-current shunt technique and infrared thermography measurements were carried out at the same time on an upside-down flat plate in a quiescent environment. The only investigated parameter was thickness...conference paper 2015

Winkel, R. (author)An experimental study aimed at the influence of different barrier materials on the energy deposition of nanosecond pulsed dielectric barrier discharge (ns-DBD) plasma actuator was carried out. Additionally, the direct effect of the discharge of an ns-DBD plasma actuator on a low velocity laminar boundary layer was investigated. Three barrier...master thesis 2015

De Vries, N.A. (author)Around the railway station of Schiphol, railway traffic is controlled by an automated dynamic traffic management system (DVM). This system is not optimal for the future service pattern of NS and NS Hispeed. My research explores the possibilities of a new DVM by analysing different rescheduling elements by means of microsimulations in OpenTrack.master thesis 2014

Michelis, T. (author)Flow control is a never ending strive to achieve the desired flow conditions for an application. As requirements become more demanding, new techniques of flow control are investigated and developed. With effective flow control it is possible to reduce fuel consumption of air and ground vehicles as well as increase efficiency of wind energy...master thesis 2013

Lentz, S.F. (author)Today, the Dutch Railways (NS) is forced to extend their capacity, because of the increase in train passengers. This extension will be realised by using longer and faster trains, soon also scheduled highly frequent. But these solutions are expensive, and in addition they cannot be extended much further to provide the necessary capacity. The NS...master thesis 2010

Khee, Y.B. (author)Wireless sensor networks are being deployed extensively to collect sensory data in various environments under different conditions. A wireless sensor network consists of multiple nodes, each with the ability to communicate using radio waves. The characteristics of the radio link between nodes are largely influenced by their environment. For...master thesis 2009

Van den Top, J. (author)Station Arnhem staat bekend als een knelpunt in de dienstregeling. Het station zou worden uitgebreid met twee vrije kruisingen en een extra perron. Hiermee zou de punctualiteit en het aantal te verwerken treinen kunnen stijgen, zodat beter aan de wensen van reizigers tegemoet kan worden gekomen. Voor deze uitbreidingen is de komende jaren echter...master thesis 2005
