He, Mingjia (author)A comprehensive understanding of shippers’ preferences can help transport freight forwarders create targeted transport services and enhance long-term business relationships. Nevertheless, limited research examined the benefit of considering shippers’ preferences in the decision-making of synchromodal transport planning and the collection of...master thesis 2023

Middelweerd, Marloes (author)In the Netherlands, online groceries are becoming increasingly popular, as are the challenges grocery companies face in meeting customers' rising demand for smaller and cheaper time slots while maintaining thin profit margins due to a highly competitive market. Customer choice modelling will be used to identify customers' behaviour and control...master thesis 2023

Lunesu, Kesia (author)In current literature, the addition of environmental cost such as fuel consumption or emission is already prevalent. However, the studies aim to improve the behavior of the vehicle while little attention is paid to the holistic view of a city and over-polluted arcs. In an attempt to address this gap, this research aims to develop policies...master thesis 2023

Mijnster, Stijn (author)In recent years, shared mobility systems have had a growing presence in cities all over the world. This is understandable given its numerous advantages such as the reduced need for personal vehicle ownership, reduced traffic congestion and emissions, increased parking efficiency, and cost savings for users. Overall, shared mobility systems offer...master thesis 2023

Theodoridis, Nander (author)With increasing urbanization and a need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, new forms of urban mobility are studied worldwide. An interesting transportation method is ridesharing, where people can share parts of their rides with other passengers travelling in a similar direction in the same car. To im- prove the attraction of ridesharing systems...master thesis 2022

Schouten, Job (author)Logistics and mobility services play a major role in our society, and efficient routing is a crucial part of this. However, even though routing problems have been widely researched, the solutions provided by algorithms do not always match drivers' expectations. Routing costs used by these algorithms are often based on one or a few parameters,...master thesis 2022

van der Spaa, Jan (author)Bicycles have an important role to play in the transition towards a more sustainable mobility. In order to achieve the modal shift towards bicycles, more must be done to accommodate cyclists. Although controlled intersections do increase the (perceived) safety of crossings with motorized vehicles, they are seen as major obstacles, and cyclists...master thesis 2022

Mijnster, Stijn (author)Shared mobility systems allow individuals to rent vehicles on an as-needed basis. The benefit of this is that these individuals does not have to buy the vehicle themselves and only pay for its use. These shared mobility systems are becoming increasingly popular due to the fact that sharing vehicles means fewer are required and fewer resources...student report 2022

de van der Schueren, Tom (author)The design space of power plants of naval surface vessels is ever expanding. As a result, the design space has become too large for a human design team to fully explore. Therefore, a concept exploration tool is introduced to generate and evaluate all possible concepts within the design space. An optimal solution is chosen based on ship...master thesis 2022

Sprokkereef, Jasper (author)When containers are transported on synchromodal bookings from their origin to their destination, the transport supplier can decide which combination of trucks, trains, and ships to use. This gives transport suppliers many options to route the container through the synchromodal network. Current literature on the individual routing of containers...master thesis 2021

van Zeijl, Jelmer (author)A significant growth of the world’s population together with fast growing urbanization is causing challenges for cities in the future. One of these challenges is how to deal with waste production and therefore the waste collection in such areas. Smart waste collection is a promising solution since it optimizes an already excising infra structure...master thesis 2021

van Battum, Coen (author)Scarcity of maritime container terminal (MCT) capacity can become a problem for global supply chains. Bottlenecks limit the capacity of these terminals and should therefore be detected and alleviated. However, there is no structured approach available in literature to mitigate the effects of bottlenecks at MCTs. Therefore, this research...master thesis 2021

Olberts, Olof (author)The Dutch railway system is subject to maintenance, which is carried out by a group of rail contractors who need parking space to park and prepare trains in between projects. The objective of this study is to minimise the total costs as a result of the distance travelled by maintenance trains and the preservation of the included parking...master thesis 2021

van Toor, Hank (author)This research strives to contribute to the solution of the Amsterdam waste problem by improving the location determination of the various container types within the Centrum area. One of the modalities is an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV), and in this case, a Roboat. Since it is not possible to assign all demand to one modality, also trucks and...master thesis 2020

van Hemert, Dick (author)Parcel deliveries have seen a massive grow over the past several years, mainly in the B2C sector due to rise of online shopping. Due to this growing market more transport movements in the last mile are required. These extra driven kilometers add up to an increase in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. In a world where the ask for more sustainable...master thesis 2020

Borst, Luke (author)Inefficiency in trucking has both economical and ecological consequences. In literature, horizontal collaboration is identified as one of the most promising solutions to this problem. However, collaboration is not often encountered in trucking industry, since carriers are hesitant to join collaborations. This is caused by a fear of sharing...master thesis 2020

Braemer, Arjan (author)This research presents an Integrated Production and Distribution Scheduling (IPDS) optimization problem in which the total transportation costs for an online grocer have to be minimized. The production refers to the preparation of orders at the production facility and the distribution is related to the transportation from the production...master thesis 2019

Dalmijn, Menno (author)This thesis proposes a model for charge scheduling of electric vehicles in last-mile distribution to investigate the impact of charge schedule optimisation on charging cost. A mixed integer problem formulation is proposed that considers labour, battery degradation and time-variable energy cost. The benefit of implementing charge schedule...master thesis 2019

Kalff, Helianne (author)Defects that occur on train sets have to be repaired in a repair location and this has consequences on the transportation network. This paper proposes a decision support model that is developed for optimising the decisions of when and where to repair that defect train set. In practice, there is no clear overview of the effects of such decisions...master thesis 2019
