Roungas, V. (author), Meijer, Sebastiaan (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Thirty years of research on validation and verification have returned a plethora of methods and statistical techniques through methodological and case studies. It is, however, this abundance of methods and techniques that poses a major challenge. Due to time and budget constraints, it is impossible to apply all the available methods and...journal article 2018

van Duin, Ron (author), Geerlings, Harry (author), Verbraeck, A. (author), Nafde, Tushar (author)The increase in population, high standards of living and rapid urbanization has led to an increasing demand for food across the globe. The global trade has made it possible to meet this demand by enabling transport of different food products from one part of the world to another. In this trade, refrigerated containers (reefers) play an important...journal article 2018

Xie, X. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)With trajectory data, a complete microscopic and macroscopic picture of traffic flow operations can be obtained. However, trajectory data are difficult to observe over large spatiotemporal regions—particularly in urban contexts—due to practical, technical and financial constraints. The next best thing is to estimate plausible trajectories from...journal article 2018

Zohoori, B. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author), Bagherpour, Morteza (author), Khakdaman, M. (author)This paper presents a new method for measuring and improving production time and cost performance by applying project management concepts and methods. In the context of production and manufacturing industries, we demonstrate how to improve production performance by considering production as a project with limited time and budget in order to...journal article 2018

Roungas, V. (author), Meijer, Sebastiaan (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Simulations are the core of every railway system. Changes in the timetable and the infrastructure, or even in the internal processes of a railway company should be, and usually are, first tested through simulations. Given their significance and potential impact, simulations should be primarily validated; validation ensures-at least to some...journal article 2018

Xie, X. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)With the advent of new sensor technologies and communication solutions, the availability of data for discrete event systems has greatly increased. This motivates research on data assimilation for discrete event simulations that has not yet fully matured. This paper presents a particle filter-based data assimilation framework for discrete event...journal article 2018

Kourounioti, I. (author), Kurapati, S. (author), Lukosch, H.K. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)In this paper we discuss the application of simulation gaming to study the behavior and decision making of stakeholders when confronted with complex transportation problems. The problem we tackle is synchromodal transportation. Synchromodality requires the vertical and horizontal collaboration of stakeholders in all the levels of decision making...journal article 2018

Kurapati, S. (author), Kourounioti, I. (author), Lukosch, H.K. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Synchromodality is described as a network of well-synchronised and interconnected transportation modes. One of the most important advantages of synchromodality is the development of a sustainable transportation system. Given the numerous stakeholders and network interdependencies within freight transport corridors, achieving efficient...journal article 2018

van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Calvert, S.C. (author), Schakel, W.J. (author), Wang, M. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)It is remarkable that drivers (on average) can safely navigate through dense traffic at high speeds—conditions in which the time headways between vehicles are in the same order of magnitude as human reaction times. One explanation for this is the ability of drivers to anticipate on the traffic conditions in their surroundings. In this paper,...conference paper 2018

Roungas, V. (author), de Wijse, Marieke (author), Meijer, S.A. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Debriefing is considered, by many scholars, to be a fundamental part of learning through games and simulations. Despite its significance, there is a lack of research in the area of debriefing, which results in unaddressed factors that inhibit debriefing. Research in the field is complicated by many influencing factors varying from context to...conference paper 2018

Freese, M. (author), Kurapati, S. (author), Lukosch, H.K. (author), Groen, Daan (author), Kortmann, Rens (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Global transportation knows many different modalities – goods arrive from far away places by ship, plane, railway, or truck. Airports and seaports both represent important nodes within the global transportation network. Both show distinct characteristics, but also similarities when it comes to challenges like required flexibility, robustness,...conference paper 2018

Liu, B. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)As simulation systems get more and more complex, the study of multi-resolution modeling (MRM) remains an exciting and fertile area of research. Contrasting its abundant successful use cases, a rigorous mathematical foundation is still lacking in MRM. In this paper, we propose a quotient space based multi-resolution modeling (QMRM) theory...journal article 2017
