Śliwińska, Zuza (author)Hong Kong is known for its skyline and urban context, interpreted through colonial history. However, its past, present and future are entangled with that of almost 700 villages scattered across the New Territory land and preceding the current Hong Kong population. With recent proposals to further develop the currently ‘rural’ northwest of Hong...master thesis 2023

Toet, A.S. (author), van Kuijk, J.I. (author), Boersma, K. (author), Santema, S.C. (author)Future mobility systems will likely incorporate more multimodal journeys. These multimodal journeys integrate multiple modes of transport, and their higher future prevalence highlights the importance of paying attention to the modality transfers within journeys. To carefully facilitate these transfers, we advocate the creation of passenger...conference paper 2023

Roukouni, A. (author), Aquilué Junyent, Inés (author), Marti Casanovas, Miquel (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author)Seamless, efficient transport intermodality is a key aspect of the transition of cities toward sustainable mobility. The new “shared mobility hub” concept is increasingly gaining attention as a potential way to make this urgently needed transition happen. The present paper aims to provide an insightful view of the promising concept of shared...journal article 2023

Toledo Farrando, Oscar (author)Reduced-order models (ROMs) are commonly used to reduce the complexity of large-scale fluid dynamics problems. The main technique to obtain their basis is proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), where an energy-based basis is obtained. Such a basis is derived without considering the governing equations. Moreover, if the flow dynamics are not...master thesis 2022

Hulsbosch, Dennis (author)This research focusses on the decision-making processes of energy regions regarding the energy transition in The Netherlands. The Netherlands has ratified the Climate Agreement in 2019, which thirty energy regions combined need to put in their efforts to reach the target of producing 35 TWh in 2030. One of the key elements in the energy regions...master thesis 2022

de Oliveira Barbosa, J.M. (author), Faragau, Andrei B. (author), van Dalen, K.N. (author), Steenbergen, M.J.M.M. (author)Locations in railway tracks where significant variations of the track properties occur are subject to increased track deterioration. To successfully mitigate this, the mechanisms leading to the increased deterioration need to be understood. To this end, this work presents a non-linear constitutive law for a lattice model able to describe the...journal article 2022
