Bakker, Ilse (author)Kitepower is a start up that generates energy using kites. The Kitepower system consists of airborne components, and a ground station where a drum is connected to a generator/electrical motor. For generating energy a so called pumping cycle is performed. In a pumping cycle energy is generated during the traction phase when the kite pulls the...bachelor thesis 2018

Huibregtse, O.L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Pel, A.J. (author), Bliemer, M.C.J. (author)A method is described to develop a set of optimal instructions to evacuate by car the population of a region threatened by a hazard. By giving these instructions to the evacuees, traffic conditions and therefore the evacuation efficiency can be optimized. The instructions, containing a departure time, a destination, and a route, are created...conference paper 2010

Falk, A. (author), Turrin, M. (author), von Buelow, P. (author)The work described in this paper aims at developing the interrelation and overall effects of interaction between a folded plate roof structure and a system of branching column supports. In the context of architectural performance it is of interest to discuss the effects of the material on environmental conditions. The current study is...conference paper 2010

Schwab, A.L. (author), Kooijman, J.D.G. (author)The goal of the Human Power Team from the TU Delft and the Free University of Amsterdam is to break the world speed record in unpaced cycling (Sam Whittingham, 133.28 km/h). The design of such a faired recumbent bicycle is a challenge. The Delft design, called VeloX (Human Power Team (2013)), is a fully-faired monocoque front-driven recumbent...conference paper 2014

Szafranski, G. (author), Czyba, R. (author)In this paper we focus on the different control strategies for the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). The control task is formulated as an angular stabilization of the quadrotor platform, and also as a tracking problem of chosen state variables. The PID algorithm has been considered in three structures in respect of the optimal control signal...conference paper 2011

Verlaan, J.G. (author), Schoenmaker, R. (author)The infrastructure in the Netherlands is crucial for economic development on a national scale. Dramatic increases of transport and mobility accelerate ageing of infrastructure. The GNP of the Netherlands is strongly related to transport and to the two main ports (Port of Rotterdam and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol). The Netherlands is used to a...conference paper 2013
