Cottineau, C. (author), Batty, Michael (author), Benenson, Itzhak (author), Delloye, Justin (author), Hatna, Erez (author), Pumain, Denise (author), Sarkar, Somwrita (author), Tannier, Cécile (author), Ubareviciene, Ruta (author)Cities are so complex that we constantly build models to represent them, understand them and attempt to plan them. Models represent a middle ground between the singular configurations of cities and universal theories. This is what makes them valuable and prone to circulate (between places, institutions and languages) and evolve to adapt to new...journal article 2024

Shiomi, Y. (author), Li, G. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author)Traffic dynamics on freeways are stochastic in nature because of errors in perception and operation of drivers as well as the heterogeneity between and within drivers. This stochasticity is often represented in car-following models by a stochastic term, which is assumed to follow a normal distribution for the convenience of mathematical...journal article 2023

Hamdar, Samer Hani (author), Talebpour, Alireza (author), D’sa, Kyla (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Treiber, Martin (author)Pedestrians are among the travelers most vulnerable to collisions that are associated with high fatality and injury rates. The increasing rate of urbanization and mixed land-use construction make walking (along with other non-motorized travel) a predominant transportation mode with a wide variety of behaviors expected. Because of the inherent...journal article 2022

Santbergen, R. (author), Uzu, Hisashi (author), Yamamoto, Kenji (author), Zeman, M. (author)We use simulations to optimize perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells in a novel three-terminal configuration, with one terminal at the front and two at the rear. We consider configurations in which the top cell has either the inverted or the same polarity as the bottom cell. Our goal is to minimize the optical losses, to compare the...journal article 2019

Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Dijkema, G.P.J. (author)A framework for the modeling and simulation of transitions is presented. A transition, “substantial change in the state of a socio-technical system”, typically unfolds over a long timespan. We therefore suggest to use simulation to inform transition managers on the effect of their decisions. Transition models preferably meet five functional...journal article 2015
