Groot, D.J. (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)Conventional Air Traffic Control is still predominantly being done by human Air Traffic Controllers, however, as the traffic density increases, the workload of the controllers increases as well. Especially for the area of unmanned aviation, driven by the rise in drones, having human controllers might become unfeasible. One of the methods that...journal article 2024

van Schilt, Isabelle M. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Mense, Jelte P. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Supply chain visibility concerns the ability to track parts, components, or products in transit from supplier to customer. The data that organizations can obtain to establish or improve supply chain visibility is often sparse. This paper presents a classification of the dimensions of data sparseness and quantitatively explores the impact of...journal article 2024

Wang, Jiepeng (author), Zhou, Hong (author), Sun, Xinlei (author), Yuan, Y. (author)Due to the fact that there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of how the dynamic nature of supply chain networks (SCNs) interrelates with network structures, particularly network topologies under disruptions. This research employs a novel evolving model of a supply chain network (SCNE model) by modifying the Barabási and Albert (BA)...journal article 2023

Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Lachi, Mohammed (author), Bliard, Christophe (author), Polidori, Guillaume (author), Maalouf, Chadi (author)Due to environmental concerns, bio-based materials are being increasingly investigated and used in buildings. In general, the density of these materials, and thus their thermal inertia, is low. Thermal inertia can be beneficial for reducing the energy use of buildings by damping indoor temperature fluctuations or by reducing and delaying...journal article 2023

Costa, D.C. (author), Simoni, Mario (author), Piccinini, Gianluca (author), Graziano, Mariagrazia (author)The new quantum era is expected to have an unprecedented social impact, enabling the research of tomorrow in several pivotal fields. These perspectives require a physical system able to encode, process and store for a sufficiently long amount of time the quantum information. However, the optimal engineering of currently available quantum...journal article 2023

Nikghadam, S. (author), Vanga, R. (author), Rezaei, J. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Cooperation between vessel service providers can improve the performance of ports. However, the potential impact of such cooperation has not yet been quantitatively addressed in the literature. We present an assessment using a port simulation model where the exchange of information has been made explicit. Cooperation is modelled as information...journal article 2023

Aghaeian, S. (author), Brouwer, J.C. (author), Sloof, W.G. (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author), Bottger, A.J. (author)Since the oxidation reactions in the process of steel production occur in harsh conditions (i.e., high temperatures and gas atmospheres), it is practically impossible to observe in situ the compositional changes in the steel and the formed oxide scale. Hence, a coupled thermodynamic-kinetic numerical model is developed that predicts the...journal article 2023

Raju, Narayana (author), Arkatkar, Shriniwas (author), Easa, Said (author), Joshi, Gaurang (author)The paper presents the performance analysis of a well-designed truck parking terminal, which is planned for regulating truck traffic over a commercial port. The designed truck parking terminal is modeled using microscopic traffic simulation, which is validated based on the movement of vehicles to the parking bays. After validation, various...journal article 2022

van Dijk, E.J.H. (author), Haaksman, V.A. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Pronk, M. (author)In this study a mathematical framework was developed to describe aerobic granulation based on 6 main mechanisms: microbial selection, selective wasting, maximizing transport of substrate into the biofilm, selective feeding, substrate type and breakage. A numerical model was developed using four main components; a 1D convection/dispersion...journal article 2022

Li, Z. (author), Manzionna, Enrico (author), Monizzi, Giovanni (author), Mastrangelo, Angelo (author), Mancini, Maria Elisabetta (author), Andreini, Daniele (author), Dankelman, J. (author), De Momi, Elena (author)A major challenge during autonomous navigation in endovascular interventions is the complexity of operating in a deformable but constrained workspace with an instrument. Simulation of deformations for it can provide a cost-effective training platform for path planning. Aim of this study is to develop a realistic, auto-adaptive, and visually...journal article 2022

Endo, A. (author), Pascual Laguna, Alejandro (author), Hähnle, S.A. (author), Karatsu, K. (author), Thoen, David (author), Murugesan, Vignesh (author), Baselmans, J.J.A. (author)Superconducting resonators and transmission lines are fundamental building blocks of integrated circuits for millimeter-submillimeter astronomy. Accurate simulation of radiation loss from the circuit is crucial for the design of these circuits because radiation loss increases with frequency, and can thereby deteriorate the system performance....journal article 2022

Mendoza Lugo, M.A. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author), Delgado-Hernández, David Joaquín (author)Weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems help to collect data such as vehicular loads, individual axle loads, vehicle type, and number of axles. This is relevant in engineering because traffic load performs an essential function in the design of new bridges and in the reliability assessment of existing ones, in traffic analysis and other areas of...journal article 2022

van der Steeg, Jaap Jan (author), Oudshoorn, Menno (author), Yorke-Smith, N. (author)With the increasing volume of container freight transport, future port planning is crucial. Simulation models provide a means to gain insight in the effects of terminal expansions. Detailed simulations incorporate berth allocation: assigning vessels a time and location at the quay wall, where the vessel is loaded and unloaded. This article...journal article 2022

Murugesan, Yaswanth (author), Parayil Venugopalan, S. (author), Nicola, L. (author)Contact between elastic bodies with self-affine rough surfaces is mostly studied with a focus on determining surface fields, despite body fields are of great importance to establish, for instance, when and where elasticity breaks down. This work aims at analyzing the effect of contact roughness on the body fields of compressible frictionless...journal article 2021

Bal, Frans (author), Vleugel, J (author)Many countries have enhanced their air quality agenda (NOx, PMx etc.) by a climate change agenda (CO2 etc.). A direct way to lower these emissions is by using less energy (fuel) per activity. One of these activities is freight transport. Transport from supplier to factory relies on efficient and cost-effective means of transport. Road...journal article 2021
