Yuan, Mengqi (author), Price, R.A. (author), van Erp, J. (author), Osorio Socha, Jorge Andrés (author)Data and artificial intelligence (AI) are revolutionising the way customers interfacewith organisations and vice versa. However, there is limited knowledge regarding howdata and AI are used as material during the design process. It is to this practice-research gap that this paper responds, by providing practical insight into a projectbetween a...conference paper 2018

Wang, K. (author), Jiang, X. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Yan, X. (author), Yuan, Y. (author)Offshore wind is a relatively new industry and it is generally more expensive to generate electricity than many alternative renewable sources. Operation & Maintenance (O&M) makes up a significant part of the overall cost of running Offshore Wind Turbines (OWT). Since the O&M associated responsibility is shared among turbine...conference paper 2018

Moustakis, N. (author), Yuan, S. (author), Baldi, S. (author)This paper establishes an adaptive tracking approach for linear systems with parametric uncertainties, when input measurements are quantized due to the presence of a communication network closing the control loop. In order to address the tracking problem, a novel dynamic quantizer with dynamic offset is introduced and embedded into an...conference paper 2018

Abou Harfouch, Youssef (author), Yuan, S. (author), Baldi, S. (author)Despite the progresses in Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC), a crucial limitation of the state-of-the-art of this control scheme is that the string stability of the platoon can be proven only when the vehicles in the platoon have identical driveline dynamics (homogeneous platoons). In this paper, we present a novel control strategy...conference paper 2017

Daamen, W. (author), Yuan, Y. (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Nowadays, many large scale events are organised in urban areas that are not designed to accomodate these large visitor flows, as not only the sheer number of people is larger than anticipated, but also their behaviour is different. For a timely deployment of crowd management measures, continuous information on the real-time traffic state on the...conference paper 2016

Yuan, K. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Capacity drop indicates that the queue discharge rate is lower than the road capacity. Due to the capacity drop, traffic delays increase once queues form. Researchers find that queue discharge rates vary in different traffic conditions. Empirical data shows that the queue discharge rate increases as the speed in congestion increases....conference paper 2016

Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Yuan, Y. (author)Determining travel time information from Wi-Fi (or Bluetooth) sensors is not trivial due to various (often technical) reasons. In this contribution, we focus on the problem of distinguishing travel time from the time people spend performing activities (e.g. fuelling the car, standing still to watch the scenery, buying a train ticket). More...conference paper 2016

(author)We present a novel method for caging grasps in this paper by stretching ropes on the surface of a 3D object. Both topology and shape of a model to be grasped has been<br/>considered in our approach. Our algorithm can guarantee generating local minimal rings on every topological branches of a given model with the help of a Reeb graph. Cages and...conference paper 2016

Yuan, J (author), Papaioannou, I (author), Straub, D. (author)Landslide events often occur after rainfall events during which the pore water pressure builds up within surficial soil layers, leading to shallow slope failure. The spatial variability of the permeability parameters of the soil causes high gradients in pore water pressure when the rainwater infiltrates into the slope. In this paper, we compute...conference paper 2015

Yuan, K. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Leclercq, L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)In freeways, the maximum traffic flow through a bottleneck is usually higher than the outflow of congestion there. This phenomenon is called the capacity drop. In literature, there are considerable debates about the mechanism causing this phenomenon. This paper studies the mechanism by analyzing real life data of two different days. The traffic...conference paper 2014

Yuan, Y. (author), Pel, A.J. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Earlier studies have shown how driving behaviour during emergency evacuation is different from that under “normal” conditions. At the same time, most evacuation studies (where the driving performance is explicitly accounted for) were conducted under the assumption of a fully activated emergency environment. However, the transition phase in...conference paper 2014

Han, Y. (author), Yuan, Y. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)We propose an integrated approach for dynamic route guidance and ramp metering using Linear Quadratic Model Predictive Control (LQMPC). The main objective is to maximize the throughput of the network by guiding traffic flow towards to insufficiently utilized infrastructures. Due to the linear property of the LQMPC, it is fast enough for real...conference paper 2014

Rong, M.Z. (author), Zhang, M.Q. (author), Yuan, C.E. (author), Wang, F. (author)Generally, intrinsic self-healing polymers based on reversible covalent bonds scission and reconnection would lose their load bearing capability as a result of molecular cleavage during healing process. This shortcoming also results in creep deformation of the products. To solve the problem, we introduce a novel healing mechanism by using...conference paper 2013

Such multiscale problems often contain three electrical scales, i.e., the fine scale (geometrical feature size much smaller than a wavelength), the coarse scale ...conference paper 2013

Schreiter, T. (author), Van Wageningen-Kessels, F.L.M. (author), Yuan, Y. (author), Van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Dynamic Traffic Management (DTM) aims to improve traffic conditions. DTM usually consists of two steps: first the current traffic is estimated, then appropriate control actions are determined based on that estimate. In order to estimate and control the traffic, a suitable traffic flow model that reproduces the properties of traffic well must be...conference paper 2012

Ramp metering control has proven to be one of the most efficient means to reduce freeway congestion. Currently, it is expected that integrated and coordinated application of DTM...conference paper 2010
