Intention Aware Routing System with Variable Station Pricing

Intention aware routing system is a route-planning algorithm for electric vehicles that minimizes overall travel time by taking into consideration congestion at charging stations. This thesis extends this algorithm to allow choices to be made based on prices at charging stations. The goal of this thesis is to find a way to minimize maximum...

Determining the Optimal Route for a Tethered Manure Applying Robot

Lely is developing a tethered manure applicator robot, designed to work on the fields of farms. This vehicle called the Jojo, is constrained in its movement due to the attached tether. It can not make tight turns and can only reverse by backtracking the driven path. This thesis explores the path planning issue and provides a novel solution. The...

Route optimization in dynamic flow fields: avigation system for the North Sea and Wadden Sea

This thesis introduces a new algorithm for optimising shipping routes within a dredging project. Highly dynamic and time-dependent hydrodynamic features influence shipping routes. Due to the complex interactions between the horizontal tide, vertical tide, stratifying forces, wind-driven forces, and limited water-depth, shipping routes were...

3D Route Builder

Relive is a sports application that seeks to increase the retention rate of its user base. The project entails a route builder that can be incorporated in the Relive app. A route builder has several challenges, both in supporting user-friendly interaction, rendering the map and calculating the route. These challenges lead to design goals, such...

The impact of routing optimization on the profit of the process for EPS waste collection

In times when there is more and more focus on environmental impact, all aspects must be taken into account. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is easy and cheap to produce and has lots of applications because of its properties. These properties however, also make it a hard material to recycle. This paper focuses on a rich mathematical model for the...

A scalable approach to real-time taxi ridesharing

In an increasing urbanizing world the need for efficient transportation methods is growing. Ridesharing, sharing a taxi trip with multiple passengers, has been proposed as an effective way to contribute towards solving the traffic problems that arise in city centers. Current solutions to the problem are often more focused on optimality, and a...

Route Recommendation Engine: Relive your outdoor adventures

This report describes the Bachelor End Project, a compulsory course for the Bachelor Computer Science at Delft University of Technology. This course has a group of 4 students complete a project for a real-world company (the client). The client for this project was Relive, a company that has a tracker for outdoor activities with a focus on the...
