De Vito, O.M.H. (author)At this moment, dynamic traffic management measures are mostly focused on local level. This can result in local improvements but decreasing network performances. To optimize the network performances by the implementation of DTM measures, an optimization method is required. Model predictive control (MLP) is a network-wide and dynamic optimization...master thesis 2012

Evertse, C. (author)The goal of this research project was to develop and test an online, automated taxi movement planning tool, that optimizes the timed taxiing routes of all aircraft on an airport, by minimizing the impact on the environment. Automatic taxi planning tools have been developed before, but the emissions have never been included before as a factor in...master thesis 2014

Delsen, J.G. (author)Runway capacity of a complex runways system can be limited by several factors. Currently, the runway usage at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AAS) is described by a preference list established by multiple stakeholders. It makes an important trade-off between minimizing noise exposure to the environment and maximizing capacity. The existing model...master thesis 2016

Ceulemans, B. (author)Currently, only one Standard Instrument Departure (SID) track and one flight procedure is used per runway departure fix combination. In contrast to tailored arrivals, the potential benefit of tailored departures has been left relatively undiscovered. The research objective is to quantify the potential benefit of tailored SID-s and profile...master thesis 2016

Kalaiyarasan, K. (author)Large scale deployment of renewable energy for production of electricity have led to impact on the electricity scenario of many countries. Because of the seasonality of newly added power sources electricity infrastructure has to be flexible enough to feed in with additional power in case of deficit and consume more in case of surplus. This leads...master thesis 2016

Van Alphen, M.N. (author)In logistics, minimizing the resource expenses can be done by minimizing the total number of hours that each truck driver has to work. This sum of working hours is referred to as the total schedule duration for all truck drivers. Minimizing this total schedule duration is the main goal in the optimization problem that we consider. The considered...master thesis 2016

van der Meijden, S.A. (author)A minimization of disturbance caused by aircraft noise events and a reduction of fuel consumption during the initial and final phase of flight. These are the two objectives that play an important role in the Flexible Runway Allocation Model. By taking into account fuel consumption alongside noise annoyance, this model enables to analyze and...master thesis 2017

Guillaume, Nicolas (author)The taxi procedure at an airport refers to the surface movement of the aircraft between the parking position and the runway or vice versa. Nowadays, aircraft tend to taxi with the main engines, even if they are not optimized for it. Using an alternative suitable taxiing system that fulfills the requirements of the taxi procedure could be a...master thesis 2018

Keim, Josephine (author)In this thesis, we analyse the optimisation of an annualised hours problem. Annualised hours problems are a widely studied subjects, in which the working hours for a given number of employees per week are minimised. We approach this problem with a mixed integer linear program, where the objective function of this problem is divided into two...bachelor thesis 2018

van der Zee, Menno (author)Privately owned cars are an unsustainable mode of transportation, especially in cities. New Mobility on Demand (MoD) services should offer a convenient and sustainable alternative to privately owned cars. Notable in this field is the recent uprise of ride-sharing services such as offered by companies like Uber and Grab. Such services, especially...master thesis 2018

de Wilde, Jasper (author)To overcome the disadvantages of radar vectors and to improve efficiency and safety of terminal airspace operations, EUROCONTROL has proposed the so-called Point Merge System (PMS) technique for merging inbound traffic flows. As the PMS provides better predictability, it can potentially offer significant fuel and environmental benefits as well...master thesis 2018

Aarts, Jeremy (author)Manufacturing processes often run on a schedule, because each production step takes a certain amount of time, after which a component is transported to the next machine. Mobile robots can be used to automate transportation of components between production steps. To do so, a task scheduler assigns transportation tasks to robots and a path planner...master thesis 2018

de Boer, Ruben (author)In times when there is more and more focus on environmental impact, all aspects must be taken into account. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is easy and cheap to produce and has lots of applications because of its properties. These properties however, also make it a hard material to recycle. This paper focuses on a rich mathematical model for the...master thesis 2019

Charitidou, Maria (author)Recent advances on the design of autonomous mobile agents have motivated the use of the latter in persistent surveillance tasks with applications in agriculture, information gathering and search and rescue missions. In these tasks the goal is to design agents’ paths so as every point in the area of interest is covered more than once. In...master thesis 2019

Bouwmeester, Marjolein (author)In this thesis, we propose two mixed integer linear program formulations for an optimization problem that incorporates annualized hours: an exact one and an approximation. The objective of our model consists of three weighted parts: a part which minimizes the difference between working hours and contract hours for each employee per week, a part...bachelor thesis 2019

Borghart, jasper (author)The steady growth of air traffic volumes and the subsequent increase of congestion at major airports require airports to increase their operational efficiency. Inefficient or the absence of gate reassignment models increase the possibility and occurrence of gate blockage and at the same time reduce the comfort of passengers as they often receive...master thesis 2019

van Hövell tot Westerflier, Madeleine (author)Passengers often complain about dirty trains indicating the relevance of interior cleaning of rolling stock (RS). Servicing tasks (i.e. interior and exterior cleaning and smaller technical checks) are executed on a daily basis at service locations (SLs). Currently, due to train operations during daytime, the current focus lies on night servicing...master thesis 2019
