Bridging the insights gap: Elevating rail-bus transfers at Schiphol

In the era of increasing global connectivity, Schiphol Airport aims to transform into a Multimodal Transport Hub (MTH) to meet the growing demand for seamless travel experiences. This shift from the traditional hub-and-spoke model to an MTH not only enhances passenger satisfaction but also positions Schiphol as a leader in the aviation industry...

Enhancing offshore service vessel concept design by involving seakeeping: Developing a framework to efficiently design high-performance offshore service vessel concepts

The growth in the offshore wind industry sees an increased demand for offshore service vessels (OSVs). These vessels often operate in harsh conditions, and their performance is heavily dependent on their seakeeping characteristics. Conventional ship design processes fail to effectively consider seakeeping early in the design process, leading to...

Stationary storage for improving the energy recovery in DC trolley grids

Trolleybus systems can be a sustainable replacement for regular diesel powered busses. The sustainability of these systems can be further improved by storage systems that recuperate the braking energy of the buses and feed it at a later point. By strategically placing the storage system, the transmission losses in the grid can also be reduced....

Low-power processing and communication

This report discusses one part of a project consisting of three parts. The goal of the project is to design a battery less sensor powered by RF energy fields present in an office environment. The sensor is able to measure temperature and is able to communicate wirelessly using a low power communication protocol. In this project the use case of a...

Automatic PV system design using LiDAR data shadow analysis

The amount of photovoltaic (PV) systems in the world is growing rapidly. The designing process is however still old fashioned and mostly done by hand. Creating a method to automatically design these PV systems can help to stimulate this growing market even further. In this thesis a research is done<br/>into the development of an automatic PV...

Performance of a web-interface for a system requirements database

Lucent Technologies, Inc has installed a web-interface for a system requirements database. In the summer of 1998, the performance of the tool was slow and was not suitable for use in the production environment for the project. The operations that the program performs were analyzed, six server / client configurations were tested and a bottleneck...
