Corman, F. (author), Viti, F. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Optimizing the performance of multimodal freight transport networks involves adequately balancing the interplay between costs, volumes, times of departure and arrival, and times of travel. In order to study this interplay, we propose an assignment model that is able to efficiently determine flows and costs in a multimodal network. The model is...journal article 2015

Hipolito, Tomas (author), Lemos Nabais, Joao (author), Carmona Benitez, Rafael (author), Ayala Botto, Miguel (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)The movement of perishable goods is growing worldwide. Perishable goods need to be available to the market before the expiration date. With the decrease in inventory levels the components of a supply chain become even more integrated and dependent on coordinated decisions. Information regarding perishable goods must be visible throughout the...conference paper 2017

van Duin, Ron (author), Geerlings, H. (author), Froese, Jens (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)The growth in container volumes over the last decades means an increase in container handling at terminals around the world. Notwithstanding the economic benefits, container handling causes additional pressure on the surrounding infrastructure and the environment. This is happening precisely at a time when environmental issues, in particular CO2...journal article 2017

Geertsma, R.D. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Visser, K. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author)The recent trend to design more efficient and versatile ships has increased the variety in hybrid propulsion and power supply architectures. In order to improve performance with these architectures, intelligent control strategies are required, while mostly conventional control strategies are applied currently. First, this paper classifies...review 2017

Geertsma, R.D. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Visser, K. (author), Loonstijn, M.A. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author)Ships, in particular service vessels, need to reduce fuel consumption, emissions and cavitation noise while maintaining manoeuvrability and preventing engine overloading. Diesel mechanical propulsion with controllable pitch propellers can provide high fuel efficiency with good manoeuvrability. However, the conventional control strategy with...journal article 2017
