Teunissen, P.J.G. (author), Khodabandeh, A. (author)In this contribution, we generalize PPP–RTK theory by allowing the transmitters to transmit on different frequencies. The generalization is based on the integer-estimability theory of Teunissen (A new GLONASS FDMA model. GPS Solutions, 2019). As the theory and associated algorithms provided are generally applicable, they apply to satellite...journal article 2022

An MPC-Based Rescheduling Algorithm for Disruptions and Disturbances in Large-Scale Railway NetworksCavone, Graziana (author), van den Boom, A.J.J. (author), Blenkers, Lex (author), Dotoli, Mariagrazia (author), Seatzu, Carla (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Railways are a well-recognized sustainable transportation mode that helps to satisfy the continuously growing mobility demand. However, the management of railway traffic in large-scale networks is a challenging task, especially when both a major disruption and various disturbances occur simultaneously. We propose an automatic rescheduling...journal article 2022

Xin, J. (author), Meng, Chuang (author), D'Ariano, Andrea (author), Wang, Dongshu (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Energy consumption is expected to be reduced while maintaining high productivity for container handling. This paper investigates a new energy-efficient scheduling problem of automated container terminals, in which quay cranes (QCs) and lift automated guided vehicles (AGVs) cooperate to handle inbound and outbound containers. In our scheduling...journal article 2022

Sun, Beibei (author), Sun, Yubo (author), Ye, G. (author), De Schutter, Geert (author)In this paper, a series of experiments were conducted to systematically and quantitively explore the effects of control factors on the early age properties, i.e., workability and strength of slag and fly ash-based alkali-activated paste (BFS/FA-AAP). The control factors on the workability (flowability and setting time) of BFS/FA-AAP include...journal article 2022

Heng, J. (author), Zhou, Zhixiang (author), Zou, Yang (author), Kaewunruen, Sakdirat (author)Rib-to-deck (RD) welded joints in orthotropic steel decks (OSDs) of bridges demonstrates two major fatigue failure models, including the toe-to-deck (TTD) cracking and root-to-deck (RTD) cracking. Generally, the sole failure model is employed in the fatigue assessment of RD joints, causing a hot dispute on the dominant failure model. In this...journal article 2022

Gonzales, A. (author), van Lier, J.B. (author), de Kreuk, M.K. (author)The pre-treatment of waste activated sludge (WAS) has become more common since it often results in improved bioconversion to methane, in both rate and extent. However, thorough insights on the possible effects and mechanisms of mild pre-treatment techniques, such as temperatures <100 °C combined with the addition of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2<...journal article 2022

Reddy, N. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Farah, H. (author)Future traffic will be composed of both human-driven vehicles (HDVs) and automated vehicles (AVs). To accurately predict the performance of mixed traffic, an important aspect is describing HDV behavior when interacting with AVs. A few exploratory studies show that HDVs change their behavior when interacting with AVs, being influenced by...journal article 2022

Wang, L. (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author), Hajibeygi, H. (author)Simulation of fracture contact mechanics in deformable fractured media is of paramount important in computational mechanics. Previous studies have revealed that compressive loading may produce mode II fractures, which is quite different from mode I fractures induced by tensile loading. Furthermore, fractures can cross each other. This will...journal article 2022
