Seminck, Isaac (author)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...master thesis 2022

Slits, Wouter (author)To match supply from intermittent renewable energy sources (RES) with demand, it is proposed in literature to introduce flexibility in the electricity market of the future. Flexibility can be provided by energy storage, demand response and cross-border transmission. In this thesis flexibility is modeled explicitly through the price mechanism of...master thesis 2022

Bottemanne, Max (author)Urban areas with many daily commuters often experience a reduction in traffic flow during rush hours. In some urban areas where this reduction in traffic flow occurs, there are popular destinations for leisure that have multiple large parking facilities. Vehicles searching for vacant parking spots drive at a lower vehicle speed, reducing the...master thesis 2022

van Heusden, Toon (author)In this thesis, research is done on the influence and benefits of an iterative interaction between a scheduler and its subsystems for an updated scheduler which minimizes to a certain cost. This is done by providing a case study of a beer brewery. The scheduler is obtained by using a switching max-plus linear approach. The subsystems will be...master thesis 2022

Bos, Roel (author)Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) navigation in unstructured off-road environments can benefit from accurate traversability estimation. Often, experiments with UGVs use semantic segmentation networks for visual scene understanding. Based on the pixel-wise classification of a semantic segmentation network, the UGV can distinguish traversable from non...master thesis 2022

Ramos Lourenço de Armada, Oyono (author)In the mission to slow down global warming, the replacement of fossil fuels by renewable energy resources is key. A tipping point in the adoption of renewable energy resources is notable, as they are becoming economically more viable. Offshore wind energy is considered essential in realizing the greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. However...master thesis 2022

de Ruijter, Robbert (author)Control engineering researchers are increasingly embracing data-driven techniques like reinforcement learning for control and optimisation. An example of a case where reinforcement learning could be useful is the synthesis of near-optimal sampling strategies for self-triggered control. Self-triggered control is an aperiodic control method that...master thesis 2022

Srivastava, Akshat (author)Single Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM) has enabled researchers to breakthrough the diffraction limit and obtain nanometer resolution images of macromolecular structures. But due to the time involved in obtaining ample data for proper image, the technique is venerable to many problem including fluctuations due to thermal gradients from...master thesis 2022

Petsch, Carmen (author)Traffic flow predictions are an important component in the rising demand for solutions to cope with the increasing pressure on transportation networks. Especially on a long prediction horizon, traffic flow predictions remain challenging due to the complex, nonlinear nature of traffic flow and the influence of both temporal and external features....master thesis 2022

Dekker, Abram (author)Due to the continuously increasing volume of road freight transportation, there is a need to aid or automate truck-trailer driving. Truck docking, the process of parking a truck-trailer combination at a loading dock, is one of the most difficult manoeuvres for professional drivers. In this work, we propose a Model Predictive Control (MPC)-based...master thesis 2022

den Daas, Jelle (author)Stochastic Dynamic Programming (SDP) has shown promising results for sequential decision problems of the route optimisation for an Electric Vehicle (EV) with the presence of stochastic variables in the travel cost. However, in studies, the optimisation problem formulation for EVs has been lacking in detail. For example, possible waiting times at...master thesis 2022

Pesselse, Mike (author)Inland waterways form a natural network infrastructure with the capacity for waterborne transport of people and goods for moving freight from seaports to the hinterland. Recently, Inland Waterway Transport (IWT) has been promoted more extensively by the European Union and various governments as it plays a crucial role in reducing road congestion...master thesis 2022

van Bavel, Henri (author)In order to improve the autonomy of construction robots, a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) solution is needed that localizes the robot using solely on-board sensing with sub-5 mm accuracy. As pointed out by the results of the Hilti SLAM Challenge, the state-of-the-art in SLAM currently does not offer a solution that comes close to...master thesis 2022

Kerssemakers, Tom (author)With over 75,000 attributed deaths in 2020, opioid overdose is now the leading cause of death amongst Americans under the age of 50. With record-breaking increases in fatalities for the past 10 years, fentanyl in particular has many experts worried about the future of the opioid epidemic. To reverse opioid overdose there exists a drug called...master thesis 2022

van Aggelen, Michele (author)Maintenance is a necessary measure to keep the asset, in this case a road network, in good condition. Spending too much on maintenance is clearly not efficient, while not spending enough may cause the condition to drop below a desired value; moreover, it will almost always cost more to correct the emerging damages afterwards. <br/>In this report...master thesis 2022

Remmerswaal, Willemijn (author)Both model predictive control (MPC) and reinforcement learning (RL) have shown promising results in the control of traffic signals in urban traffic networks. There are, however, a few drawbacks. MPC controllers are not adaptive and therefore perform suboptimal in the presence of the uncertainties that always occur in urban traffic systems....master thesis 2022

Treurniet, Wiljo (author)To achieve the goals on greenhouse gas emissions, the energy supply and demand is in transition. Distribution power grids therefore are increasingly reaching their capacity limits due to electrification and the vast increase of distributed energy resource (DER) connection requests with large peak power output. Increasing physical grid capacity...master thesis 2022

den Boer, Dirk (author)Accurate vehicle localization is considered to be a key element in future automated driving systems. A network of multiple sensors is employed to deliver information for this localization process. Loosely coupled integration of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and inertial navigation systems (INS) data is a common sensor-fusion method...master thesis 2022

Leeuwenberg, Marijn (author)Inefficient road usage in a traffic network context – i.e. over-saturation on one route, where other roads are still available – is an important problem. It appears often and in different types of situations. We concentrate on congestion caused by predicted temporary road blockades, such as open bridges. This research aims to reduce such...master thesis 2022

Beek, Django (author)As society's mutual problems grow, there is an increasing demand for understanding the intra- and inter-cultural differences. Rising polarization within national borders and stranded dialogues between nations on mutual problems, daily reach the headlines. It is argued that current models of opinion only scratch the surface of actual human...master thesis 2021
