Verstegen, C.J.P. (author)The objective of this study is to make a study on dealing with uncertainty in the design of river training works. Based on this study, a method and several instruments have been developed that aim to improve a full and consistent use of a probabilistic design approach. This study is divided into three parts. The outline is rather unconventional...master thesis 1995

Mavroeidis, N. (author)The electricity transmission system, lynchpin of the power system chain, has been recognized to play a significant role in fulfilling policy targets such as high integration levels of renewable energy sources, reduction of CO2 emissions, lower electricity costs and increased security of supply. In the European context, cross-border transmission...master thesis 2015

Verhoeff, T.J. (author)Societal developments are timeless and occur at an ever increasing pace that affects demand for Corporate Real Estate (CRE). Real estate flexibility, as part of a CRE strategy, enables anticipation on those uncertain societal developments. Many studies refer to real estate flexibility, which could be grouped into physical, technical,...master thesis 2014

Kox, S.A.J. (author)The main objective of this study is the realisation of a computer tool. The function of the tool is to estimate the required dimensions and quantities of essential container, dry and liquid bulk terminal elements, in an early design phase. As well as to give an estimate of the construction costs of these marine terminals. Terminal element...master thesis 2017

Mol, N. (author)When tasks need to be performed in remote, potentially inaccessible and/or hostile environments for humans, it is often more convenient to send a robot. Such environments are often only partially known, and therefore not suitable for fully autonomous robots to operate in. In these situations teleoperation can be used, which combines the problem...master thesis 2016

Bouziotas, D. (author)During the last years, flood risk assessments at continental and global scales are emerging as useful tools for risk hotspot identification, support for international policy-making and harmonization of strategies for climate change adaptation. The emergence of these models comes to cover the growing demand for integrated, large-scale risk...master thesis 2016

Kassela, A. (author)The centralized drinking water supply system of the Metropolitan Area of Amsterdam, operated and owned mainly by Waternet, has high performance indicators and satisfies the full demand for water in the urban grid and surrounding areas on a full cost recovery basis. Social and technological developments, stemming mainly from (i) the increasing...master thesis 2013

Lee, S.H. (author)Port city on the Dutch delta has a number of challenges from several factors such as climate change, decline of port economy and degrade spatial quality by the industrial harbour. In urban and regional planning, the future climate and port change are one of the great challenges because of their uncertainty. The port condition can be changed in...master thesis 2012

Engelen, C.M. (author)Offshore wind energy is expected to grow in the coming years: future plans for offshore wind farms total more than 98 GW. Financing is needed to realise these plans. Investment decisions partly depend on the uncertainty in energy yield predictions. It is therefore important that these energy yield predictions and their corresponding uncertainty...master thesis 2015

Koster, Robert (author)The amount of air traffic worldwide is increasing, with an adverse effect on aircraft noise in the vicinity of airports as a result. Measurements and calculations have complementary benefits and limitations for the assessment of aircraft noise. A common method for the calculation of aircraft noise is ECAC Doc. 29. Various improvements of this...master thesis 2020

Tsaples, G. (author)System Dynamics and Multi Criteria Decision Analysis are two decision aid methods that aim at helping decision makers to better understand the world through formal models and computations. System Dynamics with the use of feedback loops and time delays helps to understand the behavior of a system and how the various elements affect this behavior....master thesis 2014

Vyas, Shubham (author)Teleoperation allows the use of human intelligence and decision making in remote tasks which are too dangerous for humans to perform. Technologies such as force feedback and haptic guidance have shown to increase task efficiency during teleoperation. In an unmodeled environment, sensors provide input for haptic guidance or present extra...master thesis 2018

van Heijningen, Boudewijn (author)For the transportation of the produced energy at offshore windfarms to the onshore grid, export cables have to be installed in the sea bed. Usually, at first trenches are dredged, in which approximately one month later the cables are installed. During this period the trench should remain sufficiently open to install the cables, fulfilling the...master thesis 2021

Van Dorsser, J.C.M. (author)This report, that provides an extended summary of a similar named thesis, addresses how a new method for the evaluation of policies with a very long term impact on the Dutch Inland Waterway Transport (IWT) system can be developed. It proposes an outline for a very long term transport model, prepares a number of very long term scenarios, and...report 2015

Meissner, F.V.M. (author)The emergent literature on mainstreaming immigrant integration frequently references the term superdiversity. The diversification of migration is put forward as one rational for implementing measures to support immigrant integration across policy fields and across levels of policy making. In this paper I reflect on those assertions and argue...working paper 2018
