Godeke, Tijmen (author)This thesis aims to contribute to the policy debate on the complexity of passenger rail markets and to provide recommendations for the Dutch market. An extensive literature review has been conducted to identify the policy issues that must be discussed when dealing with passenger rail markets. These issues are structured in a theoretical...master thesis 2024

van der Meer, Jeroen (author), Hartmann, Andreas (author), van der Horst, A.Q.C. (author), Dewulf, Geert (author)Awareness of design risks is essential for preparing integrated design and construction tenders as decisions in this phase can have serious consequences once the project is awarded. The practice of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) promises to support contractors in dealing with risks in the decision-making process. However, due to...journal article 2022

Building Information - Representation and Management: Principles and Foundations for the Digital EraKoutamanis, A. (author)The book presents a coherent theory of building information, focusing on its representation and management in the digital era. It addresses issues such as the information explosion and the structure of analogue building representations to propose a parsimonious approach to the deployment and utilization of symbolic digital technologies like BIM....book 2022

Zgonnikov, A. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author), Markkula, Gustav (author)Objective: We aim to bridge the gap between naturalistic studies of driver behavior and modern cognitive and neuroscientific accounts of decision making by modeling the cognitive processes underlying left-turn gap acceptance by human drivers. Background: Understanding decisions of human drivers is essential for the development of safe and...journal article 2022

Roelofs, M.N. (author)Technology selection is ubiquitous in all manners of complex systems engineering, design and everyday business operations. Technologies are often complex entities shrouded in uncertainty, assumptions and interpretation. Therefore, quantifying their effect (i.e. outcome) becomes challenging for several reasons. First, as simulations may not be...doctoral thesis 2021

de Britto Heemskerk, Roderick (author)Intention Aware Routing System is a route-planning algorithm for electric vehicles that minimizes overall travel time by taking into consideration congestion at charging stations. This paper extends this algorithm to allow choices to be made based on prices at charging stations. The goal of this paper is to find a way to minimize maximum...bachelor thesis 2021

van Loon, Joaquin (author)This paper introduces an electricity price extension to the intention-aware routing system (IARS) for electric vehicles (EV). The existing intention-aware routing system is used to route electric vehicles who require to charge en-route through a road network. To achieve the objective of minimising the average journey time, the intentions of EVs...bachelor thesis 2021

Piltz, Gunilla (author)Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash is a by-product of Waste-to-Energy recycling and has until today been used for construction purpose or been landfilled. Especially in the Netherlands the regulatory regime constantly changes and increases the applicability of novel materials from MSWI in construction. Due to the Green Deal a...master thesis 2021

Nama Ashok kumar, N. (author)Maharashtra, the second largest state in India in terms of population and area, is a fast-developing economy and meeting its electricity demand is crucial for its economic growth. Currently, power production is causing severe environmental and security issues mainly because of the reliance on coal plants in the state. In order to meet SDG 7 ...master thesis 2020

Moons, Iris (author)Secularisation is leading to an increasing amount of obsolete churches in the Netherlands. There is a need for decision making on which churches to preserve and how to deal with the preserved churches. Adaptively reusing these buildings can safeguard them from demolition. Adaptively reusing churches is a matter of making concessions. Every...master thesis 2020

Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Hartog, M.W. (author), Matheus, R. (author), Ding, Aaron Yi (author), Kuk, George (author)Computational artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are increasingly used to support decision making by governments. Yet algorithms often remain opaque to the decision makers and devoid of clear explanations for the decisions made. In this study, we used an experimental approach to compare decision making in three situations: humans making...journal article 2020

Roungas, V. (author), Bekius, F.A. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author)Gaming simulations (games) for policy and decision making have been the neglected “sibling” of educational and training games. The latter have experienced a widespread usage by practitioners and researchers, while the former have had limited, yet slowly increasing, adoption by organisations. As a result, various issues developing and using these...journal article 2020

Valks, B. (author), Arkesteijn, M.H. (author), Koutamanis, A. (author), den Heijer, A.C. (author)At universities worldwide, creating a ‘smart campus’ is gaining significance. This is a response to the increasingly dynamic use of the campus and the pressure on resources: energy, financial and human resources. The university community has become more mobile, student numbers more unpredictable and funding more uncertain. Consequently, campus...journal article 2020

Introducing a tool to support reflection through sketching and prototyping during the design processJobst, B.S. (author), Thoring, K.C. (author), Badke-Schaub, P.G. (author)Sketching and prototyping are parts of a 'reflective conversation with materials of a design situation' (Schön, 1992). To support this conversation, we developed a reflective tool -the Reflection Canvas- that facilitates reflection activities through sketching and prototyping on the one hand and verbalisation on the other. We introduced the...journal article 2020
