Machine learning aims to solve a task with a certain algorithm or statistical model that is trained on data, with or without labels. As a subcategory of machine learning, deep learning achieves good performance with its flexibility on end-to-end representation learning and architecture design. Despite the successes of deep learning, the output...

The scale of the power system has been significantly expanded in recent decades. To gain real-time insights into the power system, an increasing number of sensors have been deployed tomonitor grid states, resulting in a rapidly growing number of measurement points. Simultaneously, there has also been a rise in the penetration of renewable energy...

In this thesis, fibre optic sensing has been investigated as an important technique for structural health monitoring. Distributed fibre optic sensing based on Rayleigh scattering is a fibre optic sensing technique to achieve the spatially continuous strain monitoring for critical locations for the structures. However, the Rayleigh backscattering...

Automated Mobility-on-Demand (AMoD) systems are expected to revolutionize urban mobility systems. However, there are uncertainties in the planning and operations of AMoD systems. We deem the agent-based approach as being well suited for modeling new phenomena in future AMoD systems and therefore shed some light on the uncertainties about the...

The pledge for a carbon-free energy system in 2050 requires significant investments into renewable energy sources (RES). The relevant questions are: what technologies to select, where to build them, how much the capacities are, and at what cost. In order to answer these techno-economic questions, optimization models are commonly used to sketch a...

Varying-length cable systems are widely applied in a vast class of engineering problems which arise in industrial, civil, aerospatial, mechanical, and automotive applications. Due to external excitations, large oscillations can occur when cables are lifted up or down. This phenomenon is caused by resonance. In general, resonance is harmful, and...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been emerging as a promising but challenging platform for studying autonomous and cooperative control. This Ph.D. thesis focuses on fixed-wing UAVs which, with their more efficient aerodynamics, can ensure longer flight durations and more autonomy than multi-rotorUAVs. However, in the current state of the art...

There is an increasing need for understanding the impacts of institutions on the integrated planning of transport and land use. High-speed railway (HSR) station areas, as nodes in transport networks and mixed-use areas, have become a focus in planning. The fast development of HSR station areas in China causes many problems, such as remote...

To eliminate organic micropollutants (OMPs) from (surface) water, activated carbon adsorption is a cost-effective technology to remove a broad range of OMPs without producing any byproducts. However, co-existing dissolved organic matter (DOM), at much higher concentrations (mg C/L) than OMPs (ng/L-μg/L), inducing adsorption competition, can...

The therapeutic properties of light have been known for thousands of years, but photodynamic therapy (PDT) was only developed in the last century. Currently, PDT is in clinical trials for the oncology-the treatment of head and neck, brain, lung, pancreas, abdominal cavity, breast, prostate, and skin cancer. Advantages of the light-based...

Coastal flooding is threatening the personal safety, property, and social development of the low-lying land around the coast worldwide. Stormsurge is one of the main sources of coastal flooding. Tide and surge models can provide timely water level forecasts for coastal management with the early warning of flooding. Although a regional model can...

Alluvial stratigraphy is influenced by both allogenic and autogenic factors, which are difficult to be distinguished from each other because they operate at overlapping spatial and temporal scales. Moreover, it remains uncertain whether autogenic dynamics can result in sedimentary cyclicity that resembles allogenically-driven stratigraphic...

People are engaged in a variety of activities through space every day. The choice of type and location of activities is known as human spatial behavior. Urban decision makers need to understand how land use and transportation systems can shape human spatial behavior in order to design better systems. In the past, they have collected mobility...

According to Person-Centred Care, as far as possible, people with dementia should be cared for in a way that takes into account their personality, life experiences and preferences. Personalisation is hence the core of Person-Centred Care, yet the approaches, recommendations and tools are lacking for this purpose. Therefore, the author...

This dissertation's ultimate goal is to provide solutions to two problems that the promising data assimilation method, called the Particle Filter, has when applied to high dimensional non-linear models, such as those often used in hydrological research and forecasting. Two local particle filters have been proposed to overcome three major issues....
