This research introduces The Forest of the Future, a transformative visionary that reimagines European forests as multifunctional, sustainable spatial structures extending over land and sea. It confronts current environmental challenges, including deforestation, biodiversity loss, and climate change, by proposing an innovative spatial strategy...

This thesis presents a data-driven design approach for emission reduction using bunker delivery notes (BDNs) to help support the revised IMO strategy to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by international shipping close to 2050. This research supports the Horizon Europe’s Digital Twin for Green Shipping (DT4GS) project which focuses on...

The demand in global trade of goods is thriving in the recent post-COVID times and is forecast to increase to the highest levels of the past decade. This calls for global transportation companies to implement increasingly efficient and highly optimized transportation processes to fulfill both demand and their need for economic and environmental...

<i>A significant problem within the automotive industry and for in-car interfaces in general, is the fact that the in-car user experience becomes obsolete at a much faster pace over time compared to the potential lifespan of the car itself. Moreover, there is also a societal future need for long lasting products in order to have a positive...

Illicit supply chain networks are not well mapped. Regulators do not know how goods flow from supplier to retailer. There is uncertainty about whom is involved, where goods originate from, and what quantities are being shipped. Simulation models are effective tools to find measures against the distribution of illicit goods such as personal...

Rotterdam’s almost untapped roofscape offers an exceptional chance to solve large urban, and environmental problems cities are facing nowadays. Take for instance, climate change, energy transition, loss of biodiversity, and the shortage of public places. Therefore we should rethink flat roofs, and expose their potential. In many different ways,...

In this thesis, a proof of concept was established for the use of a novel coupled QM-MD approach to modelling metallic (copper) electrode-electrolyte interfaces. SCC-DFTB calculations of the instantaneous electronic structure of a copper electrode were coupled to a classical MD simulation of an electrode-electrolyte interface. The applied QM-MD...

In order to reach the climate goals the use of fossil fuels needs to decrease and green solution need to provide the energy of the future. Wind and solar will probably supply a large fraction of our electrical power need in the future. Because of the nature of these sources the demand for electrical power will not always be balanced with the...

The current ATC system is seen as the most significant limitation to coping with an increased air traffic density. Transitioning towards an ATC system with a high degree of automation is essential to cope with future traffic demand of the airspace. In recent studies, reinforcement learning has shown promising results automating Conflict...

Human driven pollution is causing irreversible damage to the habitability of our planet. Due to these environmental concerns, it has become imperative to move away from petrochemical dependency as this industry contributes significant greenhouse gases causing air, soil and water pollution. About 85% of the petrochemical industry that travels...

Every year large quantities of plastic waste accumulate in Bali’s environment. This has a negative impact on Bali’s environment, local society and its tourist driven economy. With lacking waste management facilities and local awareness plastic waste enters Bali’s rivers, through which the waste ends up in the ocean. A concept small-scale...

This thesis investigates several kinds of models of describing multi-commodity dynamical flow. Three models have been developed for a spatial logistic network, on which packages are delivered by vehicles and another<br/>model was developed to describe interactions between the customers, the stores and the deliverers, which does not explicitly...

Semi-autonomous robotic exoskeletons enable paraplegics to walk again. The exoskeleton envelops the paraplegic’s waist, legs and feet. When the user gives the command to start walking, the exoskeleton’s robotic legs start a cyclic walking motion. The user, aided by crutches, follows this fixed cyclic motion, shifting their weight to the stance...

Glacial isostatic adjustment is the viscoelastic response of the Earth to ice and ocean loads. In forward models of glacial isostatic adjustment, mantle viscosity is often assumed to be laterally homogeneous. However, a lateral transition in shear wave velocities suggests a sharp transition in viscosity between West and East Antarctica. Along...

In this thesis I take a look at various aspects of the brachistochrone problem. In the first half I consider the classical brachistochrone problem, without friction, after which I generalize to also consider drag; friction proportional to the squared speed. I do this numerically, with the shooting method, and following some papers, which Euler...

In this research a new rotary chemical looping combustion (CLC) reactor was developed which is suitable for larger scales and solves some of the issues of both fluidized bed and fixed bed configurations. It should therefore be able to produce a continuous hot gas flow, in order to make it compatible with large-scale energy or heat production.To...

The Jewelcodesign concept was conceived on the back of a number of current trends. Mass customization, social networking, ecommerce and rapid manufacturing (a.k.a. 3D printing) were applied in a context of precious jewellery. Needs of jewellery designers and potential customers were studied through desk research, netnographies, interviews and...

The project “Design of a smart safety device for dangerous traffic situations” focused on vulnerable road users under the age of 18 years. When participating in traffic as pedestrians, bicyclists or as the drivers of motorized 2-wheelers children are vulnerable, especially towards heavier motorized traffic (i.e. cars, busses and trucks). In the...
