van Vliet, Job (author)The growing demand for parcel deliveries is causing significant problems for freight logistics, particularly in cities. The increasing number of delivery vehicles leads to traffic congestion, high emissions, and rising costs. To address these problems, new and sustainable delivery methods must be implemented for<br/>the parcel last-mile. However...master thesis 2023

van Essen, Lieke (author)The energy transition makes us less dependent on fossil fuels, but it also brings a new dependence to the table: a dependence on critical metals for green technology. This study used an Exploratory System Dynamics Modelling and Analysis approach to analyse the transition to a circular lithium system towards 2050 and the potential effectiveness...master thesis 2022

Ghisolfi, Verônica (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), de Lorena Diniz Chaves, Gisele (author), Mattos Ribeiro, Glaydston (author)As part of the global efforts to mitigate climate change, policymakers are designing measures to reduce the carbon emissions of the freight transport system. As global agreements for decarbonisation specify strict time windows, it is important to understand the speed at which the transport system is capable of changing. Our paper proposes a...journal article 2022

Yin, Rukai (author)System Dynamics (SD) is an approach to study the nonlinear behaviour of complex systems over time. SD models provide a highlevel understanding of the system and aid in designing policies to achieve specific system behaviours. Conventional SD modelling requires an intensive amount of time, human resources and effort. Applying Machine Learning ...master thesis 2020

Papachristos, George (author), van de Kaa, G. (author)Standards competition is a complicated process influenced by a large number of factors and mechanisms. This article develops a simulation model that draws on current theory of standards competition dynamics and represents the interplay of strategic factors that firms can use to gain a competitive advantage. The model is used to reproduce four...review 2020

Legêne, Martijn F. (author), Auping, Willem L. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), van Arem, B. (author)Urban form develops in close feedback with different modes of transportation. The introduction and adoption of automated vehicles (AVs) are expected to have an impact on the development of cities as well, as the use of AVs may, for example, lead to more efficient road use and less need for parking spaces. In order to study those impacts, we...journal article 2020

Wigman, Stefan (author)This study approached migration-related problems from a global perspective. The inter- connected nature of migration means that migration problems accumulate and intensify throughout the world. To capture these effects, a data-rich model component was devel- oped for global migration dynamics.<br/>To that extent, this study has developed the...master thesis 2018

Groenewoud, Stella (author)The common description of the configuration of stuff in a room, one of order (tidy) and chaos (messy), fails to explain the phenomenon that artifacts create structures around people and activities in a space, with both functional and cognitive properties. This form of organization, that is recognizable on various scale levels, emerges...master thesis 2018

Drop, F.M. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author), Bulthoff, Heinrich H. (author)The human controller (HC) in manual control of a dynamical system often follows a visible and predictable reference path (target). The HC can adopt a control strategy combining closed-loop feedback and an open-loop feedforward response. The effects of the target signal waveform shape and the system dynamics on the human feedforward dynamics...journal article 2018

Venema, C.T. (author)Both the public and the European Commission have criticized the past actions of Dutch housing associations. A new housing act has become applicable, which would force housing associations to change their conduct on the rental housing market. Important developments include the allocation of households with a low income to social dwellings, a...master thesis 2016

Nieuwenhuijsen, J.A.H. (author)This research presents a novel simulation model that shows the dynamic and complex nature of the innovation system of vehicle automation in a quantitative way. The model looks at the system of automated vehicles from a functional perspective and therefore categorizes vehicle automation into six different levels. Each level is represented by its...master thesis 2015

Jacobs, N.A.A. (author)Over the last decades, air traffic facilitates the movement of people and goods all over the world, enabling economic growth and development. Despite the impact air traffic has on industries and systems all over the world, the aviation industry is influenced by the same factors as well. Energy prices, the economic situation, population growth...master thesis 2015
