How do you become even more successful if you are already successful? That is a question that TU Delft Library asks itself regularly. In the last few years, it has seen that its transformation into a library learning centre was a good move, but there is more. Even more focus can be on the client, that is the choice that the library made last...

An artificial leg, a hearing aid, a dust mask: there is a fair degree of stigma attached to some products. How do you deal with that as a designer? Kristof Vaes completed his doctorate on this subject in a joint study by the University of Antwerp and TU Delft.

Preventing traffic congestion by modifying driver behaviour: that was what CEG researchers working with Technolution and TomTom came up with.Together they designed a system that advises people how fast they should be driving and in which lane they can do that best. ‘The direction I want to move in is that of allowing the car to do more for you.’

Wherever there are problems with flooding defences, broken levees or other water-related threats, often one of the things you’ll hear is the call to ‘bring in the Dutch’. But are we still as successful as all that? Many of those in the water construction sector think not.

People can be strange creatures, as ergonomics expert Professor Peter Vink (Industrial Design Engineering) knows. They will sit in tight and uncomfortable seating to save money, complain about it in surveys and then do it all over again. These are the enigmas of environmental ergonomics.

Background Disease prevention has been claimed to reduce health care costs. However, preventing lethal diseases increases life expectancy and, thereby, indirectly increases the demand for health care. Previous studies have argued that on balance preventing diseases that reduce longevity increases health care costs while preventing non-fatal...

Continuous Risk Management (CRM) is a practice in which there is a continuous assessment of the risks that exist or could arise. In addition, in CRM it is determined which risks have priority to be dealt with and strategies are considered that could be implemented to deal with the risks. This thesis demonstrates how CRM of (mortgage) customers...

This research is conducted to explore the growing trend of private vehicles in Beijing, China, in the coming 25 years using the system dynamics (SD) method. The vensim software is used to build the SD model and do simulations. First, the paper introduces the background of the private vehicles in Beijing and analyzes the issues of traffic...

The increasing energy demand in China due to urbanization has made the study of different energy policies in big cities a crucial topic of discussion. This is a complex problem since the electricity market is a multi-actor system where various actors may have a great influence on the main issue we are focusing on. In order to reduce the energy...

A study was performed by the author on formal analysis of uncertain non-linear systems in the context of System Dynamics (SD). The objective of this study was to develop a more insightful method to classify model behaviour for exploratory modelling. The long term vision of this study is more efficient, more exhaustive and more insightful model...

Crawljax is a crawler, which not only finds states via regular links, but also states that are hidden by JavaScript actions. However, this leads to a gigantic number of states with many duplicates. A near-duplicate detection algorithm can be a solution to limit the number of states found by Crawljax, while crawling the most essential, unique...

Carbon nanotubes are unique candidates to study quantum mechanical properties of a nanomechanical resonator. However to access this quantum regime, present detectors are not yet sensitive enough. In this thesis we couple a carbon nanotube CNT mechanical resonator to a superconducting circuit which is a root towards such sensitivity.

In July 2013, TU Delft alumnus Jan van Kranendonk and his business partner Thomas de Leeuw decided to discontinue their start-up company Sunuru. The reason was that customers were not interested in their ingenious solar project. Van Kranendonk spoke about his failure during the Failcon event in Amsterdam, which is modelled after similar events...
