Siebinga, O. (author), Zgonnikov, A. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author)Traffic interactions between merging and highway vehicles are a major topic of research, yielding many empirical studies and models of driver behaviour. Most of these studies on merging use naturalistic data. Although this provides insight into human gap acceptance and traffic flow effects, it obscures the operational inputs of interacting...journal article 2024

Bouwmeester, W. (author), Fioranelli, F. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)Incoherent backscattering of mm-waves from natural rough surfaces is considered. A novel method is proposed to determine the statistical properties of surface scattering from range profile measurements. The method is based on modeling the road surface as a grid of uncorrelated scattering elements, described by normalized scattering matrices....journal article 2024

Koerten, K.O. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author), Zgonnikov, A. (author)Traffic jams occurring on highways cause increased travel time as well as increased fuel consumption and collisions. So-called phantom traffic jams are traffic jams that do not have a clear cause, such as a merging on-ramp or an accident. Phantom traffic jams make up 50% of all traffic jams and result from instabilities in the traffic flow...journal article 2024

Schalkers, M.A. (author), Möller, M. (author)In recent years, quantum Boltzmann methods have gained more and more interest as they might provide a viable path toward solving fluid dynamics problems on quantum computers once this emerging compute technology has matured and fault-tolerant many-qubit systems become available. The major challenge in developing a start-to-end quantum...journal article 2024

Zhang, P. (author), He, C. (author), Shen, C. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author), Li, Z. (author)Wheel-rail high-frequency interaction is closely related to the formation of railway short-wave defects. Finite element (FE) method has been widely used to simulate wheel-rail dynamic systems, but its validity in modelling high-frequency interaction has not been fully demonstrated in three dimensions (3D). This work aims at comprehensively...journal article 2024

Houimi, Amina (author), Basyooni, Mohamed A. (author), Yılmaz, Mücahit (author), Eker, Yasin Ramazan (author)This study explores the structural, electronic, and optical properties of sandwich-structured thin films composed of WO3, MoWO3, and MoO3 as window layers on VO2/WO3 via a physical vapor deposition method. Morphological analysis demonstrates the evolution of distinct nanowires, offering insights into the lattice strain of the VO2 layer toward...journal article 2024

Safari, Vahid (author), Kamkari, Babak (author), Hewitt, Neil (author), Hooman, K. (author)The low thermal conductivity of phase change materials (PCMs) has limited their widespread use in practical applications. In the present study, different fin structures, namely, rectangular, perforated, and pin were examined to analyze the thermal performance of the melting process in rectangular latent heat storage tanks. Experiments were...journal article 2024

Kaya, H.D. (author), Dikmen, Irem (author)Although digitalization has become a prospect that is counted on for many problems in the construction industry, there have been limited attempts at exploring decision-making processes in construction firms concerning the integration of digital technologies and impacts beyond the projects. In this research, the system dynamics (SD) approach...journal article 2024

van Bergen, Steven (author), Norte, R.A. (author), Aragon, A.M. (author)The computational analysis of nanophotonic devices is usually carried out via the standard finite element method (FEM). However, FEM requires meshes that are fitted to the devices’ boundaries, so making changes to the geometry (and thus the mesh) results in an inefficient process at best. Such an approach is therefore at odds when conducting...journal article 2024

Paul, C.E. (author), Hanefeld, U. (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Qu, Ge (author), Yuan, Bo (author), Sun, Zhoutong (author)Contemporary Biocatalysis heavily relies on enzyme engineering as natural enzymes frequently lack the requisite attributes for effective organic synthesis. The inherent limitations in stability, catalytic activity, and selectivity of wild-type enzymes often hinder their suitability for chemical synthesis. Over the past 25 years, there has...journal article 2024

Wilde, N. (author), Smith, Stephen L. (author), Alonso-Mora, J. (author)When designing a motion planner for autonomous robots there are usually multiple objectives to be considered. However, a cost function that yields the desired trade-off between objectives is not easily obtainable. A common technique across many applications is to use a weighted sum of relevant objective functions and then carefully adapt the...journal article 2024
