Spacecraft navigation and control is difficult in deep space operations. Especially around asteroids, the irregular gravity field increases the difficulty of estimating the spacecraft trajectory. Autonomous navigation can increase the safety and accuracy for orbit proximity operations. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for continuous...

This thesis is devoted to the class of Max-Plus Linear Parameter Varying (MP-LPV) systems. Recently, this class is introduced as an extension of the class of Max-Plus-Linear (MPL) systems in the field of max-plus algebra. The MPL framework is useful when modeling Discrete Event Systems (DES). Describing DES in conventional algebra results in...

The goal in this thesis is to make a prediction on the total processing time for logistical systems to complete their tasks. For simple systems that can be described using a regular max plus state space model this is done by calculating the systems eigenvalue and multiplying that by the number of iterations required. But, for more complex...

Switching max-plus linear (SMPL) systems written in max-plus algebra form a robust framework to model discrete-event systems governed by synchronisation whose behaviour may switch over time. Their evolution is described by a max-plus linear state-space representation that may change by switching modes. In their typical form, switching may depend...

Currently, encryption is part of daily life, from commercial to industrial applications. Secure, long-distance communication is vital to the safe and reliable operation of industrial feedback control. Utilising public networks as a medium is often cost-effective at the risk of a security breach. Current industrial feedback control systems...

The autonomy of mobile robots has been greatly improved in recent decades. For these robots, the field of search and rescue is of particular interest. This thesis introduces a new method to let a mobile robot (Spot by Boston Dynamics) explore and search for victims in unknown environments. Existing methods include coverage, which aims to fully...

The study of human motion consists of the analysis of kinematics, dealing with joint angles, velocities and accelerations, and kinetics, which deals with joint torques and interaction forces. Traditionally, kinematics and kinetics are estimated from optical marker data and sometimes measured interaction forces. Inertial measurement units (IMUs)...

The purpose of Supply Chain Management (SCM) is to maximize and stabilize the flow of goods through a supply chain. Disruptions to this flow, such as the Bullwhip Effect (BWE), have become increasingly severe and dynamic, challenging current methods for counteracting these disruptions. This thesis develops a systems and control framework for...

Ultrafast ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) is a super-resolved vascular imaging method that provides a 10-fold improvement in resolution compared to ultrafast ultrasound Doppler imaging. Because typical ULM acquisitions accumulate large numbers of synthetic microbubble (MB) tracks over hundreds of cardiac cycles, transient hemodynamic...

The need for smart traffic control has grown over the last years. Initiated by an increased amount of traffic. Network-wide traffic control is becoming a more interesting field for traffic control. Mainly because computer power has increased and optimisation techniques improved. Network-wide traffic aims to improve the overall traffic state by...

In this thesis, an economic-engineering model of the ripple effect in the housing market is put forward. The ripple effect in the housing market is modeled by integrating into one model the local price dynamics of the rental market, the spatial price dynamics between local rental markets, and the valuation of real estate. Such a model is lacking...

Cycling is an increasingly attractive transportation mode, thanks to its health and environmental benefits. Personalized travel assistance services can help make cycling more appealing by providing speed or route advices that can reduce travel time and increase safety while taking into account the personal preferences of cyclists. Due to its...

Recent developments in \ac{ML} have paved the way for unprecedented possibilities in the field of data analytics in numerous team sports, such as American football, baseball, and basketball. In more recent years, \ac{ML} techniques have been applied to football as professional teams got inspired to collect enormous quantities of data to evaluate...

Due to the increase in traffic, road congestion has gone up. Vehicle platooning is a possible way to increase the capacity of a given road, by decreasing the distance between the vehicles in the platoon. At the moment, the control of vehicle platoons is commonly done using PDD controllers. The advantage of this is that it requires little...

To extract energy from wind, both Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT)s and Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT)s are used. Different from the HAWT, the axis of rotation of the VAWT is perpendicular to the ground. This vertical design offers some unique advantages for the VAWT. For example, the generator of the VAWT is located on the ground, hence...

Delay Management is proven to reduce the average passenger delay. However, the current method of Delay Management either uses fast basic or slow accurate passenger rerouting. The former has a downfall in that it is inaccurate since it assumes that passengers delay is the periodicity of the train of the original transfer, while in reality, faster...

Research in passive Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems has gained traction over the last few years. Although passive HVAC is not a new concept, advances in environment sensing, control methods, and hardware have made it a more viable method. Some difficulties still exist, such as optimal sensor placement and optimal...

The green-hydrogen supply chain is part of the new energy business and will be operating in the new-energy markets. The new-energy markets are markets with volatile prices, and the prices are expected to become even more volatile in the future. A continuous-time model of the price and product flow dynamics is needed to quantify the value...

Road users still encounter unnecessary delays due to inefficient traffic control in urban traffic networks. These delays are ever-increasing and have large environmental and economic consequences. In the Netherlands, most intersections are controlled using actuated controllers, which respond directly to the current traffic demand obtained from...
