Iwamoto, K. (author), Hein, C.M. (author)This is particularly true for the Japanese case, where civil engineering has played a major role in the country’s modernization and westernization since the mid-19th century. The design and engineering of Japanese ports from the 1870s to 1890s is a case in point. This contribution explores the degree to which civil engineering engaged with port...conference paper 2018

Hein, C.M. (author)Earth has experienced a number of major energy transitions, each resulting in extensive systemic changes. The introduction of fire in the Paleolithic, the emergence of farming in the Neolithic, and later the industrial Revolution all changed the ways that humans lived, worked, and travelled and the materials they used.book chapter 2018

Hein, C.M. (author)In this chapter, the authors highlight three important strands of interpretation in Japanese planning history—one studying planning as a part of a general urban or architectural history, one focusing on planning as a discipline, and another emphasizing urban design. These strands of history writing speak to the difficulties of studying a country...book chapter 2018

Hein, C.M. (author)This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book investigates the history of planning since its emergence as a discipline in the mid-19th century. Planning is a complex discipline, with more than one body of terminology, multiple interpretations, and manifold applications...book chapter 2018

(author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)A common limitation in human factors research is that vehicle simulators often lack perceptual fidelity. Video games, on the other hand, are becoming increasingly realistic and may be a promising tool for simulator-based human factors research. In this work, we explored whether an off-the-shelf video game is suitable for research purposes. We...conference paper 2018

Yuan, K. (author), Lavala, Jorge (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Jiang, Rui (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Traffic flow downstream of the congestion is generally lower than the pre-queue capacity. This phenomenon is called the capacity drop. Recent empirical observations show a positive relationship between the speed in congestion and the queue discharge rate. Literature indicates that variations in driver behaviors can account for the capacity drop....journal article 2018

Beloqui Larumbe, L. (author), Qin, Z. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Several efforts are being done nowadays to improve the modelling of Wind Turbine Systems (WTSs) for harmonic analysis in Offshore Wind Power Plants (OWPPs). Due to the high influence of the different control structures in the Power Electronic Converters (PECs) on the dynamic response of a WTS, each structure needs to be modelled specifically....conference paper 2018

(author), Court Salisbury, Linda (author)This paper develops new directions on how individuals’ use of multiple goals can be incorporated in econometric models of individual decision-making. We start by outlining key components of multiple, simultaneous goal pursuit and multi-stage choice. Since different goals are often only partially compatible, such a multiple goal-based approach...journal article 2018

Mouri Sardarabadi, A. (author), van der Veen, A.J. (author), Koopmans, L.V.E. (author)For subspace estimation with an unknown colored noise, Factor Analysis (FA) and its extensions, denoted as Extended FA (EFA), are good candidates for replacing the popular eigenvalue decomposition (EVD). Finding the unknowns in (E)FA can be done by solving a non-linear least square problem. For this type of optimization problems, the Gauss...conference paper 2018

Werner, Christoph (author), Hanea, A.M. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author)In decision and risk analysis problems, modelling uncertainty probabilistically provides key insights and information for decision makers. A common challenge is that uncertainties are typically not isolated but interlinked which introduces complex (and often unexpected) effects on the model output. Therefore, dependence needs to be taken into...book chapter 2018
