Brederode, L.J.N. (author)Strategic traffic assignment (TA) models assess long-term effects of policies on route choices of travelers. To meet stability requirements, current strategic TA models lack modelling of queues. This thesis develops two TA models that include queue modelling whilst satisfying stability requirements along with a method to fuse observed link flows...doctoral thesis 2023

Pronk, Tessa E. (author), Fischer, A. (author), van den Berg, Annemijne E.T. (author), Hofman, Roberta C.H.M. (author)A main focus of water managers with regard to micropollutants is the protection of aquatic ecology. However, micropollutants also have the potential to affect the production of clean drinking water. In this paper, we propose to consider the removal effort when assessing micro-pollutants with an ‘Effort Index’ (EI). Assessments using the EI...journal article 2023

Tang, Tie Qiao (author), Nicolas, Alexandre (author), Lee, Seungjae (author), Daamen, W. (author), Song, Ziqi (author)In the study of pedestrian dynamics, the consideration of group behaviours is essential, as group interaction within crowds is a common phenomenon and significantly influences pedestrian behaviours. This special issue highlights the importance of pedestrian group behaviours and examines the subject using a wide range of methods, such as...contribution to periodical 2023

Arfa, F. (author), Zijlstra, H. (author), Lubelli, B. (author), Quist, W.J. (author)The Adaptive Reuse (AR) of heritage buildings is a complex process, which aims to preserve the values of heritage buildings while adapting them for use in the present and transferring them to the future. This paper aims to identify steps in this process and develop a structured model. The model is an ‘ideal’, it needs validation in practice;...journal article 2022

Michael, Michalis (author), Overend, M. (author)In its simplest form, a Closed Cavity Façade (CCF) consists of a double or triple glazing unit (DGU or TGU) on the inner layer and single glazing on the outer one, forming a sealed non-ventilated cavity with an automated shading device in between. Given its dynamic behaviour, this technology can dynamically control the flow of solar energy...journal article 2022

(author), Obersteiner, Michael (author), Guo, Zhaoxia (author), Bryan, Brett A. (author)Progress to date toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has fallen short of expectations and is unlikely to fully meet 2030 targets. Past assessments have mostly focused on short- and medium-term evaluations, thus limiting the ability to explore the longer-term effects of systemic interactions with time lags and delay. Here we undertake...journal article 2022

Vink, P. (author), Frohriep, Susanne (author), Mansfield, Neil (author), Naddeo, Alessandro (author), Jacobs, Karen (author)Various aspects related to comfort are described in this special issue. Some papers are focused on the environment, like smell, temperature, light, acoustics, space and some on an artefact touching the human, like the floor angle, the seat, a bed and light. However, in this special issue also topics like modelling and behavior get more...contribution to periodical 2021

Ayivor, P.K.S. (author), Rueda, José L. (author), van der Meijden, M.A.M.M. (author), van der Pluijm, R (author), Stouwie, B (author)This paper provides an overview on implementing practical models of large scale electrolysers (>1MW) for real time digital simulation. The search for new sources of ancillary services has aroused considerable interest in the use of large scale electrolysers for power system ancillary services. As the number of large scale electrolysers is...conference paper 2018

de Wagter, C. (author), Smeur, E.J.J. (author)This work investigates the design parameters and their consequences in the control of a helicopter rotor combined with a pair of fixed wings. This hybrid vehicle has a light and aerodynamically efficient rotor with a large range of pitch angles to enable both hover and forward flight. Because of the light stiff rotor and heavy wings, the hybrid...journal article 2017

Brederode, L.J.N. (author), Pel, A.J. (author), Wismans, Luc (author), de Romph, E. (author)For decades congestion levels around the world are rising. To properly incorporate the effects of congestion into strategic transport models, a shift from static capacity restrained towards capacity constrained and dynamic traffic assignment models has occurred. In this paper we focus on quasi dynamic assignment models (more specific: static...conference paper 2016

Human faeces are an important source of Cryptosporidium in surface waters. We present a model to study the impact of sanitation, urbanization and population growth on human emissions of Cryptosporidium to surface waters. We build on a global model by Hofstra et al (2013 Sci. Total...journal article 2015

Although muscle activation is known to affect the kinematic response, a model with properly validated muscle contributions does not exist to date. The goal of this study was to enhance a musculoskeletal neck model and to validate passive...journal article 2015

(author)Muscles behave as elastic springs during the initial strain phase, indicated as short range stiffness (SRS). Beyond a certain amount of strain the muscle demonstrates a more viscous behavior. The strain at which the muscle transits from elastic- to viscous-like behavior is called the elastic limit and is believed to be the result of breakage of...journal article 2011
