Synchronization of Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks of the type discussed in this MSc project play a crucial role in many envisionings of the Internet of Things, a trend that is thought to play a major role in the technological innovations of the near future. These wireless, ad-hoc, scalable mesh networks provide the infrastructure for numerous sensing and control...

Urban environment effects on pedestrian route choice for train station access and egress

This study has investigated the effect of the urban environment on pedestrian route choice behaviour, for walking routes to and from train stations in the Netherlands. To the best knowledge of the author, this is the first pedestrian route choice study which is performed at country-level scope. This was made possible by applying an innovative...

Wave overtopping at rubble mound breakwaters with a non-reshaping berm

This thesis focuses on wave overtopping at rubble mound breakwaters with a non-reshaping berm. The research was aimed at gaining insight into the influence of a permeable berm on the overtopping behaviour. Moreover it was desired to validate existing prediction methods for the spatial distribution of overtopping for breakwaters with a non...

Station Crowd Redistribution and Pandemic Resilience: Access and Egress-Based Solutions to Station Crowding

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial impact on public transportation. With ridership figures decreasing, it has brought a new sense of urgency to the old problem of crowding. Using a structured design approach, this paper presents the results of a project which set out to reduce crowding in Dutch train stations by<br/>absorbing it at the...
