Verzotti, Edoardo (author)In recent years, the aviation industry has faced escalating environmental scrutiny, prompted by the global shift towards heightened environmental awareness. This study explores a collaboration framework set up by airlines which envision to partially or totally shoulder the environmental impact costs generated by their airborne emissions. The...master thesis 2023

Kalliatakis, Nikolaos (author)When there is a need to move cargo across the world in the fastest possible manner, airlift is the prime solution. Due to the potential extreme requirements of airlift, aircraft have to be capable of performing in a myriad of operational environments. To support future aircraft design loops, this work proposes a framework which couples aircraft...master thesis 2023

Tzanetos Alevras, Tzortzis (author)This research presents a comprehensive modeling approach for the flight dynamics of a hybrid compound helicopter, employing classical mechanics methods. The derived non-linear mathematical model encompasses the individual components of the aircraft, including the rotor, propellers, wings, fuselage, and empennage, which are then integrated into a...master thesis 2023

Thakur, Sidharatha (author)Air cargo is vital for efficient global supply chains, enabling the rapid transport of valuable goods. Combination airlines, a significant player in the industry, use both dedicated full freighters and the belly space of scheduled passenger flights to transport cargo. This research develops a decision tool that combination airlines can use to...master thesis 2023

Chalabi, Wissam (author)Optimizing the routes of firefighting aircraft can reduce the time it takes to contain wildfires and make sure they remain within control. In this paper, a novel formulation of the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is developed to improve aerial firefighting operations by optimizing aircraft routes. The formulation is a capacitated split delivery...master thesis 2023

Helsdingen, Timothy (author)This study investigates the problem of prioritising trucks at the export area of the KLM Cargo ground handler terminal while maintaining a continuous operation in the unloading area. Due to the uncoordinated nature of truck arrivals and space limitations at the ground handler, substantial waiting times may arise when<br/>trucks arrive...master thesis 2023

van Teeffelen, Jop (author)The demand for online shopping has grown tremendously in the last couple of years. Picnic, a major player in the online grocery industry, is struggling to achieve long-term growth within its current operations. Scheduling and planning are key drivers for maintaining operational efficiency. The Fulfilment Centre (FC) and...master thesis 2022

Broeders, Ward (author)This study proposes a flight scheduling model with an added aircraft emission model to solve the schedule design, aircraft routing and cargo routing problems for a full-cargo airline, where aircraft emissions are explicitly part of the decision-making process. Our model considers both operational sustainability (maximisation of profit) and...master thesis 2022

Achyuthan Suma, V. (author)Due to a projected shift in the majority of the world’s population towards urban areas and the existing traffic congestion in today’s cities, the possibility of using the third dimension for transportation of people and goods is being increasingly explored. The resultant congestion from an estimated demand of unmanned and Urban Air Mobility...master thesis 2021

van der Wal, Wouter (author)The planning of air cargo across an airlines' network is proven to be a complex problem consisting of multiple subproblems. Currently, all these subproblems are solved sequentially and by hand, resulting in partial solutions instead of an integrated solution. Two of these subproblems are the palletization of items onto ULDs and the scheduling of...master thesis 2021

Beijneveld, Anne Bart (author)In this paper, we introduce the Air Freight Flight Schedule Development Problem (AFFSDP). In this problem, a cargo-only carrier has to adjust an existing flight schedule based on changes in the predicted demand. The result of this research is a model that combines airport selection, fleet routing and cargo routing, together with the use of a ...master thesis 2021

Maseland, Niels (author)This paper studies a variation of the pickup and delivery formulation with time windows which is applied to air cargo export operations. The formulation is extended using three factors. 1) Pickup nodes are positioned at freight forwarders. Delivery nodes are located at ground handlers. Trucks can only visit one freight forwarder. 2) Dock...master thesis 2021

van Sunten, Ralph (author)Following the advent of drones for surveillance and cargo delivery purposes, advancements in recent years have also been made towards the development of larger drones for passenger transport. The concept of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) prospects to offer ride-sharing services within and between cities. While trip scheduling and vehicle routing...master thesis 2021

Nikolakopoulos, Konstantinos (author)The concept of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) services was created mainly in response to traffic congestions. In this research we focus on UAM services such as those provided by Uber Elevate. We therefore present a framework to solve the Urban Air Mobility Problem with Time Windows (UAMP-TW) under dynamic demand, using an Adaptive Large Neighborhood...master thesis 2021

Pinho Ferreira, João (author)For a hub airport, capturing transfer passengers and offering better connections are key elements that largely influence its future growth and profitability. This research aims to develop a strategic stand planning model capable of selecting profitable turnarounds that will expand the network of a hub, integrating those turnarounds into the pre...master thesis 2021
