De Bosscher, Benjamin C.D. (author), Mohammadi Ziabari, S.S. (author), Sharpanskykh, Alexei (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...journal article 2023

Huang, R. (author), Liu, Guiwen (author), Li, Kaijian (author), Liu, Zhengxuan (author), Fu, Xinyue (author), Wen, J. (author)The cooperative behavior of residents is complex and influenced by their complicated social relationships. This complexity is especially noticeable in neighborhood renewal, so the government does not know how to promote residents' cooperative behavior. Therefore, this study proposes an agent-based model (ABM) to investigate the development of...journal article 2023

Lang, D. (author), Ertsen, M.W. (author)Often, individual, communal, regional, or even national conflicts arise when water resources are shared and used. For equitable water-sharing strategies to be implemented, adequate collective action is required to allocate water – not limited to, but specifically in irrigation systems. In this research, we develop an Advanced Irrigation...journal article 2023

The Influence of National Culture on Evacuation Response Behaviour and Time: An Agent-Based ApproachVan Damme, E.R.I. (author), van der Wal, C.N. (author), Hofstede, Gert Jan (author), Brazier, F.M. (author)“How does culture, in combination with cues, settings and affiliation, influence response-phase behaviour and time and total evacuation time?”. A questionnaire and an agent-based model for a case study of a library evacuation in Czech Republic, Poland, Turkey and the UK have been developed to answer this question. Our questionnaire, conducted...conference paper 2023

Irnich, Jakob (author), van der Wal, C.N. (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Auping, Willem L. (author)Different leader-follower behaviors may be observed in models, such as group gathering, backtracking, and changing between groups. However, a comparison of these behaviors resulting in possible substantially different estimates of optimal evacuation procedures is lacking. Hence, we developed an agent-based model in combination with exploratory...conference paper 2023

Wezeman, Robert S. (author), Neumann, N.M.P. (author), Phillipson, F. (author), Kooij, Robert (author)In this paper we study encounter-based density estimation using different random walks and analyse the effects of the step-size on the convergence of the density approximation. Furthermore, we analyse different types of random walks, namely, a uniform random walk, with every position equally likely to be visited next, a classical random walk...conference paper 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

Lee, J. (author), Mitici, M.A. (author), Blom, H.A.P. (author), Bieber, Pierre (author), Freeman, Floris (author)The increasing use of on-board sensor monitoring and data-driven algorithms has stimulated the recent shift to data-driven predictive maintenance for aircraft. This paper discusses emerging challenges for data-driven predictive aircraft maintenance. We identify new hazards associated with the introduction of data-driven technologies into...journal article 2023

Nespeca, V. (author), Comes, M. (author), Brazier, F.M. (author)Qualitative research is a powerful means to capture human interactions and behavior. Although there are different methodologies to develop models based on qualitative research, a methodology is missing that enables to strike a balance between the comparability across cases provided by methodologies that rely on a common and context...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

Breitwieser, Lukas (author), Hesam, A.S. (author), Rademakers, Fons (author), Luna, Juan Gómez (author), Mutlu, Onur (author)Agent-based modeling plays an essential role in gaining insights into biology, sociology, economics, and other fields. However, many existing agent-based simulation platforms are not suitable for large-scale studies due to the low performance of the underlying simulation engines. To overcome this limitation, we present a novel high...conference paper 2023

Cui, Kairui (author)Compared to traditional public transport, ride-hailing makes it possible for people to get a more comfortable and faster riding experience with a higher fare. Ride-sharing fall in between the two, offering a discount at the price level of ride-hailing, yet operates with more detours and less comfortable experience. In this study, with different...student report 2022

Lee Sherman, Sherman (author)Climate change will lead to more extreme climate and weather phenomena, and this includes the increased risk and severity of flooding. Flooding is one of the most destructive and common natural hazards globally, and rising sea levels and extreme precipitation mean that many human settlements will be situated in climate-sensitive areas. <br/><br/...master thesis 2022

Driessen, Fabian (author)Extensive electrification of the inland shipping sector is necessary to achieve the EU goals to be climate neutral and increase inland shipping by 50\% by 2050. This requires a thoughtful and large-scale roll-out of new charging stations layouts, for ships with relatively high and largely varying energy demands. Current approaches for optimal...master thesis 2022

Stoopman, Sam (author)What exactly causes the emergence of the attitude-behaviour gap, and to what extent, is not fully understood. Previous academic research has shown that many barriers to adoption remain, and that difficulty lies in the heterogeneity of consumers. Through the use of a simulation model this thesis explores the emergence of the attitude-behaviour...master thesis 2022
