Liu, Runsheng (author)The performance of multiple AMoD operators under congestion pricing strategies remains unexplored. We propose two congestion pricing strategies: Link-based congestion pricing strategy and Delay-based congestion pricing strategy to regulate AMoD services. We aim to demonstrate the effectiveness of such strategies using an agent-based modeling...student report 2022

LI, BOWEN (author)SBS modified bitumen is popularly utilized in road construction owing to its outstanding performance and competitive pricing. However, like normal bitumen, SBS modified bitumen will also be aged and causing asphalt pavement distress and the need for maintenance, resulting in a significant amount of wasted modified asphalt. Recycling waste...student report 2022

Fränkel, Oseï (author)Economic engineering models individual agents as inertia elements and can be viewed as a microeconomic theory based on analogs with classical mechanics. In this thesis the economic engineering concept of modeling individual agents is used to model economic systems consisting of many agents, e.g. an entire country. This is done using classical...master thesis 2022

Liu, Gan (author)Starting from a port, Marseille was born as the result of improvisation and spontaneous architectures rather than urban planning. Same things happened in the architecture scale. architects are not the only doers of architecture. Long after the building has been made the non-architects continuously do architecture. When non-architects occupy...master thesis 2022

Burgar, Patricija (author)In-ear EEG is a discreet and convenient method for monitoring EEG by placing the electrodes in the ear canal. This enables everyday monitoring outside of clinical environments in contrast to generally used scalp EEG with wet electrodes. This thesis proposes and describes the design of novel flexible dry CNT/PDMS electrodes with short pins, long...master thesis 2022

Aliberti, Dylan (author)The aim of this thesis was to test the efficiency in practice of an analytical propagator with collision detection for <i>N</i>-body Keplerian systems. This can be used to simulate the evolution of a protoplanetary disk, which gives insight into how planetary systems form. The analytic propagator calculates collisions one by one, while a...bachelor thesis 2022

Kamerbeek, Huug (author)The accessibility in far offshore wind farms during unplanned maintenance is reported to be insufficient. This system largely consists of daughter craft, small vessels that increase the multitasking capabilities of an SOV. The goal of this research is to improve the accessibility to ultimately increase turbine availability, which is proven in...master thesis 2022

Grauss, Antonie (author)To operate in open world environments a symbolic Artificial Intelligence (AI) to be able to adapt and incorporate new objects and relations in its Knowledge Base (KB). Symbolic AI use the objects and relations in their KB to navigate the world and create plans. These KB are filled with knowledge in advance, so they can not add new knowledge when...master thesis 2022

Nguyen, Jessica (author)There is an urgent need for urban environments to be more flood resilient. The public can participate in addressing this by adopting household sustainable drainage solutions (SuDS). However, their lack of knowledge and awareness is a barrier. This paper presents an educational serious game to overcome this barrier and explores whether it can...master thesis 2022

Pearse, Oliver (author)During the start-up and shutdown sequence of rocket engines, immense forces are generated that are required to propel the payload into earth's orbit or outer space. The bulk of the generated forces are in the form of thrust. However, forces are also generated that act perpendicularly to the thrust direction. These side-loads are unwanted...master thesis 2022

Seerden, Wouter (author)In order to understand the impact of new infrastructure projects, appraisal tools are used to estimate the impact it will have on society. Infrastructure is a key part of society, enabling and disabling society to work and live, playing a vital part in everyone’s lives. Former studies by Annema, Frenken, et al. (2017), Niek Mouter (2017b) and...master thesis 2022

Eggink, David (author)The effects of standardization on entrepreneurship are a research field for which a lot still needs to be done. In particular, there is little research into the adoption of de jure standards by entrepreneurs. These standards are the product of committee-based standardization, which is when committees consisting of stakeholders that are related...master thesis 2022

Morssink, Wouter (author)Designing golf course routings is a challenging problem as a golf course should obey the golf course regulation, be safe to play by having enough room between the holes and be diverse and challenging to the golf players. A potential exact solution can come in the form of a constraint programming model, in which solvers take care of the...master thesis 2022

Mulder, Bas (author)With variable renewable energy on the rise, large-scale energy storage is needed to assure grid stability. Thermal energy storage (TES) is a new player in the large-scale energy storage landscape, but might prove a cheap, safe and reliable option, with low permitting barriers. TES is not geographically limited, generally compact and has a low...master thesis 2022

de Waal, Fay (author)OWTs and WEEEs have both been found to contain NdFeB permanent magnets, which are both valuable sources for the recovery of REEs. At the same time, OWTs have been found to contain many electrical components that may not officially fall under the WEEE direct but share many similarities with WEEE. While there is little known about the recycling of...master thesis 2022

Rodriguez, Mario (author)Using renewable energy to power a Mars habitat is a technological challenge because resources such as solar and wind are significantly weaker than on Earth. This work investigates the feasibility of using airborne wind energy (AWE) systems in combination with solar photovoltaic (PV) modules to power a Mars habitat. The Luchsinger model and the...master thesis 2022

Loor, Stephan (author)In the past few years, the search for good quantum low density parity check (qLDPC) codes suddenly took flight, and many different constructions of these codes have since been presented, including many product constructions. As these code constructions have a natural interpretation in the language of homology, this thesis studies the interplay...master thesis 2022
