Theodorou, Charis (author): There has been a growing number of companies that join, commit and set targets to the Science-Based Targets initiative in recent years. This thesis explores how factors which were found in previous studies to influence the companies’ decision to join SBTi or climate action in general, interact dynamically. Using an agent-based model, the...master thesis 2023

Isaenko, Matvei (author)In my thesis I was studying the interrelation between network topology and dynamics and the emergence and evolution of institutions for the governance of CPR. This research was intended to shed some light on what is the role of networks in formation of endogenous institutions and the possible insights for policy makers and users of CPR. To...master thesis 2023

Wang, Yunyun (author)This project aims to relieve traffic pressure and enhance the parking experience for attendees during planned special events (PSEs). The objective is to develop an optimal strategy for efficiently allocating parking spaces during PSEs in parking lots.<br/><br/>PSEs, such as football games or large concerts, typically result in concentrated...master thesis 2023

de Bruijn, Abel (author)This research paper proposes a discrete agent-based model to simulate territorial development among micro-organisms. The model involves two species that interact through marker signals left behind by agents as they move through a three-dimensional lattice. The study builds on previous research that established a phase transition from a well...bachelor thesis 2023

Tunca, Kerem (author)This research has illustrated the abilities of incorporating robust decision making within train maintenance. Both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance processes of the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) have been examined, after which exploratory modeling and analysis enabled developing valuable insights for decision makers. Scenario analysis through...master thesis 2023

Eslamizadeh, S. (author)The transition to renewable energy sources affects all sectors of society, including the industrial sector. Besides climate policy ambitions and other concerns regarding the social and environmental acceptability of energy provision, the transition to renewables may also improve the availability and affordability of energy services. The latter...doctoral thesis 2023

van Loo, Julian (author)Energy poverty is an increasingly important issue. While vulnerable households are especially at risk in the energy transition, energy poverty effects of the transition are unknown. In Delft, a district heating network based on geothermal energy is planned. The distributive justice aspects of heat networks in the heating transition remain...master thesis 2023

van der Boon, Mike (author)Distributed Energy Resources (DER), like solar panels, are projected to take over power generation responsibilities. This will happen during the transition of the current power grid to the Smart Grid. Due to the importance of this power to society, it is crucial that the grid stays stable.<br/><br/>DER devices are similar to IoT devices in scale...master thesis 2023

De Bosscher, Benjamin (author)Airport terminals are complex sociotechnical systems, in which humans interact with diverse technical systems. A natural way to represent them is through agent-based modeling. However, this method has two drawbacks: it entails a heavy computational burden and the emergent properties are often difficult to analyze. The purpose of our research is...master thesis 2023

Tapia, R.J. (author), Kourounioti, I. (author), Thoen, Sebastian (author), de Bok, M.A. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Crowdshipping (CS) is an emerging form of freight transport that is expected to reduce the externalities of urban freight transport. The supply of CS services originates from people with an intention to travel, who can choose to engage in a parcel delivery service as incidental carrier. The popular expectation is that this consolidation of...journal article 2023

Slingerland, G. (author), Nikolic, I. (author), Brazier, F.M. (author)Fast growth of cities decreases the quality of life in these places. In response, Municipalities install policies aiming to improve local livability. While literature suggests social structures to have a defining impact on policy effectiveness, current evaluation metrics are not able to take this into account. This paper presents the Social...journal article 2023

Peng, Q. (author), Vermolen, F.J. (author), Weihs, D. (author)Cancer cell migration between different body parts is the driving force behind cancer metastasis, which causes mortality of patients. Migration of cancer cells often proceeds by penetration through narrow cavities in possibly stiff tissues. In our previous work [12], a model for the evolution of cell geometry is developed, and in the current...book chapter 2023
