Soomers, Joost (author)The increased pressure to reduce aircraft emissions and the growing demand for air travel causes airports to consider alternatives for fuel-inefficient aircraft taxiing. External towing tugs can be deployed to effectively reduce on-ground fuel burn of outbound aircraft. These new operations are likely to aggravate ground delays as a result of...master thesis 2022

Piao, L. (author)Direct current distribution systems (DCDS) are a promising alternative to alternating current (AC) systems because they remove AC--DC conversion between sources and loads that cause energy losses. Compared to AC systems, a DCDS has higher power capacity, energy efficiency and reliability, and no need for synchronisation---suitable where a large...doctoral thesis 2022

Van de Sype, Luka (author)The severity of natural disasters is increasing every year, having an impact on many people's lives. During the response phase of disasters, airports are important hubs where relief aid arrives while people need to be evacuated out of there. However, the airport often forms a bottleneck in these relief operations, because of the sudden need for...master thesis 2022

Sharma, Ascharya (author)This research tries to quantitatively identify the relation between team composition, organization structure, communication and team efficiency. The study takes a model-based approach to reach its objective. This research stresses the utility of agent-based modeling as a tool to first replicate the environment of an on-going project in India and...master thesis 2022

van Vliet, Kim (author)The problem-solving approach to public regulation places new demands on regulatory agencies in terms of risk analysis: every regulatory problem that is to be solved demands a new, unique analysis to find effective intervention strategies. Many risk analysis tools are available to regulators, however, to date agent-based modelling has not been...master thesis 2022

Farizky WIjanarko, Farizky (author)The significant growth in B2C e-commerce in the last decade increased the traffic and volume of parcels in last-mile delivery significantly. To mitigate the impact of the last-mile delivery service such as the increased traffic and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, crowdshipping emerged as an innovation that utilise the travelling crowd as...master thesis 2022

Luteijn-Nava Guerrero, G.D.C. (author), Hansen, H.H. (author), Korevaar, G. (author), Lukszo, Z. (author)Natural gas for heating is widespread in the built environment of The Netherlands, where the government aims at limiting heat demand and reducing natural gas consumption over the coming decades. In the owner-occupied residential sector, this transition is complex and requires cooperation and coordination of individuals and groups that make...journal article 2022

Melliger, Marc (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author)Support schemes have been central to the expansion of renewable electricity globally and in the European Union. As technologies mature, individual member states may decide to phase out these policies. While previous research has shown that such policy changes affect investors’ decisions, we investigate how they affect pathways and electricity...journal article 2022

Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Schleich, Joachim (author), Guetlein, Marie Charlotte (author), Faure, Corinne (author), Bouwmans, I. (author)In this paper, we link findings from a demographically representative discrete choice experiment (DCE) in eight European countries on the adoption of smart thermostats with an agent-based model (ABM) in a methodologically consistent way. We employ the ABM to simulate the diffusion pattern of smart thermostats until 2030 and to examine the...journal article 2022

Wang, S. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), Lin, H.X. (author)Automated Mobility-on-Demand (AMoD) systems, in which fleets of automated vehicles provide on-demand services, are expected to transform urban mobility systems. Motivated by the rapid development of AMoD services delivered by self-driving car companies, an agent-based model (ABM) has been developed to study the coexistence phenomena of...journal article 2022

Stevens, Martijn (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), Scheltes, Arthur (author), van Arem, B. (author)The continuing urbanization and corresponding increase in transport demand are putting pressure on the accessibility, safety, sustainability, livability, and efficiency of urbanized regions. Public transport is regarded as a sustainable mode of transport for these regions and therefore transport policies aim to increase its attractiveness....journal article 2022

Mrozek, Michal (author), Sirenko, M. (author), Foks-Ryznar, Anna (author), Sawicki, Bartosz (author)The paper presents a web-based system designed to visualize a simulation of ca. 500,000 residents of a city during the COVID-19 outbreak. Each agent's infection status and mobility are presented in the time scale. The main effort was to ensure simplicity from the user's perspective and smooth operation on various client devices. The full range...conference paper 2022

(author), Foramitti, Joël (author), Konc, Théo (author), Niamir, Leila (author), Safarzynska, Karolina (author), van den Bergh, Jeroen (author)Ambitious climate mitigation policies face social and political resistance. One reason is that existing policies insufficiently capture the diversity of relevant insights from the social sciences about potential policy outcomes. We argue that agent-based models can serve as a powerful tool for integration of elements from different disciplines....journal article 2022

Nespeca, V. (author), Comes, M. (author), Brazier, F.M. (author)Agent-based models (ABM) for policy design need to be grounded in empirical data. While many ABMs rely on quantitative data such as surveys, much empirical research in the social sciences is based on qualitative research methods such as interviews or observations that are hard to translate into a set of quantitative rules, leading to a gap in...conference paper 2022

Taberna, A. (author), Filatova, T. (author), Roventini, Andrea (author), Lamperti, Francesco (author)By 2050 about 80% of the world’s population is expected to live in cities. Cities offer spatial economic advantages that create agglomeration forces and innovation that foster concentration of economic activities, but for historic reasons cluster along coasts and rivers that are prone to climate-driven flooding. To explore tradeoffs between...conference paper 2022

Fouladvand, J. (author), Verkerk, D. (author), Nikolic, I. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author)Energy communities are gaining momentum in the context of the energy transition. Given the distributed and collective action nature of energy communities, energy security of these local energy systems is more than just security of supply and related to issues such as affordability and acceptability of energy to members of the community. We build...conference paper 2022
