Strategies for decarbonization of heavy-duty road freight: Social-economic feasibility study on the hinterland of the port of Rotterdam

Heavy-duty road transport needs to make a transition to become climate neutral in 2050. Not considering the negative impact on the environment, road transport remains a competitive way of transportation in the hinterland of maritime ports. Policymakers and strategists of the Port Authority have a lack of knowledge to decarbonize heavy-duty...

User Evaluation of InCoder Based on Statement Completion

A lot of models have been proposed to automatically complete code with promising evaluation results when tested in isolation on testing sets. This research aims to evaluate the performance of these models when used by developers when programming. Are these models still useful for actual programming and do developers even want this functionality?...

Development of a diagnostics model for the GEnx-1B turbofan engine using on-wing performance data

Gas path analysis (GPA) plays a major role in turbofan condition monitoring. GPA uses thermodynamic engine models to identify deterioration of individual turbofan components. The accuracy of GPA results depends on the quality of the engine models. Turbofan performance is influenced by secondary performance parameters, which include variable...

Gateway to Amstel: Research on the future mid-city transport hub in the Amstel area.

The research and design is about the future of transportation in Amsterdam Amstel and the large node in the area called the mid-city transport hub. Transportation will change in the Amstel area. How people will move through Amstel will change, the same is true for the connection of the Amstel area with other parts of Amsterdam or the Netherlands...

Dynamic FEM assessment of sagbend: Improved methodology for the dynamic FEM assessment

DeciZebro: the design of a modular bio-inspired robotic swarming platform

Within this report is described the process of designing a new Zebro robot for the TU Delft Robotics Institute. Zebro is a six-legged robot specifically intended to become one of the first truly autonomous swarming robots on earth. The specific aim of this project was to design Zebro to become ready for series production, and to become a robotic...

Erosion problem at Piçarras Beach: The cause of the erosion and possible counter measures

Over the last three decades the beach area of Piçarras has undergone large changes. The river Piçarras was fixed which caused severe erosion problems. With large nourishment projects the municipality tried to create a sustainable beach area. However, these nourishments did not form a long term solution, which means that, until the present day,...

Common Ground, School for civic agriculture and urban food systems

Cities are increasingly renewed by large projects rather than by long-term visions and subsequent master planning. Public-private partnerships are organized to engage strategic sites resulting in complex developments. The developments are comprised of multiple and often conflicting interest, which have to be simultaneously negotiated. The...
