Standing e-scooters, what to expect: micro-mobility with micro effects?: Explorative research into the expected effects and policy implications of the introduction of e-scooters in the Dutch traffic system

(standing) E-scooters are a promising mode of transport; the vehicles are electrically powered, light, and fit in the dense urban landscape. However, little is known about the impact of these vehicles that can be expected when introduced in the Netherlands. In this paper, effect estimations of e-scooters on travel behaviour and society are made,...

Wall-Resolved Large Eddy Simulation of a Wing-Body Junction: High-Fidelity Data Generation for Data-Driven Turbulence Modelling

A wall-resolved Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of a wing-body junction is performed. The aim is to generate high-fidelity junction flow data to be used in a data-driven turbulence modelling approach, specifically to improve the accuracy of RANS-simulations in junction flows. The simulation is performed on a 61.5 million C-grid body fitted mesh in...

Application of State Space Hidden Markov Models to the approximation of (embedded) option prices

This thesis discusses dimension reduction of the risk drivers that determine embedded option values by using the class of State Space Hidden Markov Models. As embedded options are typically valued by nested Monte Carlo simulations, this dimension reduction leads to a major reduction in computing time. This is especially important for insurance...

Empowering seniors: Design of a tool to support elderly patients and their care network

Research showed how important it is for seniors to feel independent. During the ageing process, seniors go through several events that have great impact on both their physical wellbeing but also on their mental and subjective wellbeing. Leading the senior to feel insecure and sometimes even feel down. One of those events are falls. Falls can...
