Gheorghiu, Irina (author)Global Navigation Satellite System is a spatial data acquisition technique, mostly used in navigation and positioning. One of the main components of this technique is the satellite visibility, which refers to the connection between the satellite and the ground receiver. It is known that the GNSS positioning systems are not as performing in urban...master thesis 2024

Verheyen, Jan (author)Insects have — over millions of years of evolution — perfected many of the systems that roboticists aim to achieve; they can swiftly and robustly navigate through different environments under various conditions while at the same time being highly energy efficient. To reach this level of performance and efficiency one might want to look at and take...master thesis 2022

Jansen, Pim (author)Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) have become a critical part of the infrastructure of modern society. Radio interference can introduce position or timing errors in systems that use GNSS or, in a worst-case scenario, block the reception of GNSS signals in full. Part of this critical infrastructure is, among others, power plants, banks,...master thesis 2022

Olthof, Lotte (author)One of the current challenges withholding personalised lane-level driving advice is the inaccuracy and error of GPS signal from commonly used navigation devices and mobile phones. These GPS signals have an uncertainty margin up to several meters, therefore potentially indicating the vehicle location on a different lane than the actual lane it...master thesis 2022

Koopman, Kevin (author), de Peinder, Jelle (author)The company invented a product that can monitor vulnerable people. It is important that they know exactly where their products are located. If a situation occurred where a vulnerable person needs immediate help, first responders can use the knowledge of the location to get to the patient as fast as possible. This thesis investigates if a modular...bachelor thesis 2021

Beenen, Kathelijne (author)Accurate weather forecasting plays an important role in predicting precipitation events. With the warming climate the precipitable water vapour in the atmospheric is increasing. Since weather parameters as precipitable water vapor have a high spatial variability, interpolation of water vapor data over an area of hundreds of kilometer does not...student report 2020

van Casteren, Rosalie (author)The Earth is subjected to 100,000 year cycles of glaciation and deglaciation. The deformations induced by glacial and oceanic loading and the continuous attempt at recovery of the isostatic equilibrium within the solid Earth, are referred to as Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA). This process is ongoing still and yields a large contribution to...master thesis 2019

Michailidou, Gina (author)Route choice of cyclists recently became a hot topic of research for different disciplines such as transport and urban planning. Among other factors that influence these route choices, the urban environment has been identified as one in a network, road or aesthetic level. However, how the morphology of the built environment influences the cyclists...master thesis 2019

Snoek, Jasper (author)Nowcasting, synonymous for short term (0-6h) forecasting of precipitation with high detail in terms of location, timing and intensity, is a dynamic field of research in weather forecasting that is relevant in mitigating the impact of severe weather events. Along with the development of remote sensing instruments, the first methods that were...master thesis 2017

Hermans, Tim (author)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...master thesis 2017

van Wijk, Bryan (author), de Koning, Dorian (author), Lugtenburg, Jochem (author)A start-up creates videos which users can watch to experience their running or cycling activity all over again. Currently, the company depends on external data sources to generate a video. To be less dependent on these sources the company wants to create their own tracking solution. This solution has to fit in their existing smartphone...bachelor thesis 2017

Van Tiggelen, M. (author)In this report, a least-squares approach is described for retrieving the 3D structure of the electron concentration in the Earth’s upper ionosphere and plasmasphere, using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data-sets from Low-Earth-Orbiting (LEO) satellites. Due to the lack of horizontal radio wave geometries, the method uses assumptions...student report 2017

Roobeek, M. (author)Injuries are a sportsman’s worst nightmare: They withhold players from playing, they weaken teams and they force clubs to buy a bench-full of substitutes. On top of that, injuries can cause an awful lot of pain. Regulating match and training intensity can drastically decrease the risk of getting injured. Furthermore, it can optimally prepare...master thesis 2017

Stierman, E.M.J. (author)Additional thesis - Precipitation and especially rainfall are very important for the world’s population. It has its positive and negative side like providing water and contrary causing floods. Therefore it is of utmost importance to make clear and accurate weather predictions. The revolution of GPS in the last few decades gave a new opportunity...student report 2017

Koning, A.M. (author)Additional thesis - To improve weather monitoring, local near-real time weather forecasts and climate monitoring, a dense network of sensors should be set up. As shown already in the 1990s, GPS is a promising measurement device to form a dense network for meteorology observation. Because of economic reasons, a network of dual frequency GPS...student report 2017

Iliadi, A. (author)Nowadays, there is an increasing number of large scale events and a growing number of people tend to participate to these events. In general, during large scale events the combination of the lack of sufficient information to support crowd management with the movements of the crowd can create not only problems on the undisturbed movements of...master thesis 2016
