(author), Vojinovic, Zoran (author), Plavšić, Jasna (author), Curran, Alex (author), Rosic, Nikola (author), Pudar, Ranko (author), Savic, Dragan (author), Brdjanovic, Damir (author)Flooding is expected to increase due to climate change, urbanisation, and land use change. To address this issue, Nature-Based Solutions (NBSs) are often adopted as innovative and sustainable flood risk management methods. Besides the flood risk reduction benefits, NBSs offer co-benefits for the environment and society. However, these co...journal article 2024

Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), Curran, A.N. (author), Bouwer, L. M. (author)Floods are amongst the most frequent disasters in terms of human and economic impacts. This study provides new insights into the frequency of loss of life at the global scale, mortality fractions of the population exposed to floods, and underlying trends. A dataset is compiled based on the EM-DAT disaster database covering the period 1975...journal article 2024

Newcamp, Jeffrey M. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Curran, R. (author)Aircraft fleet managers lack tools to aid decision-making for fleets nearing retirement, which leads to rushed and ill-informed decisions. Accordingly, aging aircraft fleets are underutilized and fleets can be retired before their useful lifetime has been expended. A decision support framework is proposed to solve the aging military aircraft...conference paper 2022

Vert, M.P.J. (author), Sharpanskykh, Alexei (author), Curran, R. (author)Resilience is commonly understood as the capacity for a system to maintain a desirable state while undergoing adversity or to return to a desirable state as quickly as possible after being impacted. In this paper, we focus on resilience for complex sociotechnical systems (STS), specifically those where safety is an important aspect. Two main...journal article 2021

Koornneef, H. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Curran, R. (author)Aircraft dispatch involves determining the optimal dispatch option when an aircraft experiences an unexpected failure. Currently, maintenance technicians at the apron have limited access to support information and finding the right information in extensive maintenance manuals is a time-consuming task, often leading to technically induced...journal article 2021

Curran, A.N. (author)Flood risk analysis focused on small sections or regions of embanked systems ignores the dy-namics of large-scale floods through time and space. Resulting measures are oftentimes inef-ficient due to an over estimation of risk or be-cause they simply transfer risk downstream due to increased localised protection upstream. This present work...doctoral thesis 2020

Massart, Philippe F.R. (author), Dhanisetty, V.S.V. (author), Kassapoglou, C. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Curran, R. (author)This paper proposes an analytical model that uses historical damage dimension data to deduce physical impactor characteristics (size and energy) that has caused a certain resulting damage. Maintenance tasks occur in operations due to impact, however the source of the damage caused in the event remains in most cases unknown. Consequently, by...journal article 2020

Ho-Huu, V. (author), Hartjes, S. (author), Perez Castan, J.A. (author), Visser, H.G. (author), Curran, R. (author)This paper presents the development of a multilevel optimization framework for the design and selection of departure routes, and the distribution of aircraft movements among these routes, while taking the sequence and separation requirements for aircraft on runways and along selected routes into account. The main aim of the framework is to...journal article 2020

Deng, Q. (author), Santos, Bruno F. (author), Curran, R. (author)This paper presents a practical dynamic programming based methodology to optimize the long-term maintenance check schedule for a fleet of heterogeneous aircraft. It is the first time that the long-term aircraft maintenance check schedule is optimized, integrating different check types in a single schedule solution. The proposed methodology...journal article 2020

Koornneef, H. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Curran, R. (author)When an aircraft experiences an unexpected issue during flight operations, a technician determines whether the aircraft can safely perform the next flight. This operational decision process - known as dispatch assessment - has to happen within limited available time between aircraft arrival and departure. Currently, technicians face two main...journal article 2020

Zhao, X. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Curran, R. (author)The present study proposes an economic indicator to support the evaluation of aircraft End of Life (EoL) strategies in view of the increasing demand with regards to aircraft decommissioning. This indicator can be used to evaluate the economic performance and to facilitate the trade-off studies among different strategies. First, Disposal and...journal article 2020

Curran, A.N. (author), de Bruijn, K.M. (author), Domeneghetti, Alessio (author), Bianchi, Federica (author), Kok, M. (author), Vorogushyn, Sergiy (author), Castellarin, Attilio (author)Reliable hazard analysis is crucial in the flood risk management of river basins. For the floodplains of large, developed rivers, flood hazard analysis often needs to account for the complex hydrology of multiple tributaries and the potential failure of dikes. Estimating this hazard using deterministic methods ignores two major aspects of...journal article 2020

Ho-Huu, V. (author), Hartjes, S. (author), Visser, H.G. (author), Curran, R. (author)At many airports, ground track segments may be shared by different departure routes, and the population living underneath these segments is exposed to all aircraft movements which are sent to these routes. This may cause negative community reaction to authorities and policymakers, leading to objections against the expansion of airport and...conference paper 2019
