Preston, Lanie (author)Flying has become increasingly accessible in the last few decades, leading to enormous growth in aircraft traffic worldwide. Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport is the fourth-busiest airport in Europe based on passenger traffic, and noise pollution from the airport affects over 63,000 individuals daily. This study aims to determine if the presence of...master thesis 2023

Tilman, Pieter (author)The vast area that has become available with the closure of Atatürk Havalimanı has turned into a void in the metropolis. Although it is deeply ingrained in the fabric of the city and its infrastructure, the area is completely closed off and inaccessible to the public. This raises the question: How can architecture transform enclosed urban areas...master thesis 2023

Webbers, Jesse (author)Since the commercialisation of air travel, demand for air transport is increasing. Optimal system capacity utilisation at airports has therefore become crucial. As available resources such as land, buildings and human are scarce and airline tickets need to be financially affordable, airports optimise their system while maximising capacity within...master thesis 2023

van der Grift, Niek (author)Air transport has gone from a once in a lifetime experience for the extremely rich to a day to day method of transportation for everybody. With the increase in passenger movements the amount of baggage that goes through airports has increased as well. This could cause problems for airports if they have a limited capacity in one of the parts of...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

Rupcic, Lea (author), Pierrat, Eleonore (author), Saavedra-Rubio, Karen (author), Thonemann, Nils (author), Ogugua, C.J. (author), Laurent, Alexis (author)The aviation sector contributes to environmental problems like climate change, resource depletion, and air pollution. We perform a systematic literature review of life cycle assessment studies to map the environmental impacts in the sector and provide methodological recommendations. The sector is divided into cross-cutting systems, namely...journal article 2023

Wang, Lechen (author), Mao, Jianfeng (author), Li, L. (author), Li, Xuechun (author), Tu, Yilei (author)Predicting Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) for a Multi-Airport System (MAS) is much more challenging than for a single airport system because of complex air route structure, dense air traffic volume and vagaries of traffic conditions in an MAS. In this work, we propose a novel “Bubble” mechanism to accurately predict medium-term ETA for a...journal article 2023

Roijers, Bas (author)There is a growing need for alternatives regarding aviation; the Hyperloop might offer a partial solution. However, there is a gap in knowledge, case studies and design concepts to investigate how the new system could be connected to aviation at airports. Such a space does not exist yet, and is therefore relatively undiscovered territory. <br/>...master thesis 2023
