Oldenhuis, Job (author)The drilling industry faces the challenge of moving away from conventional maintenance strategies to maximise operational efficiency. This thesis introduces a holistic approach to land drilling rig Predictive Maintenance (PdM), integrating component maintenance into system-level decision-making. By taking the operations of the whole system into...master thesis 2024

Zwetsloot, Eva (author)In multi-agent systems reaching consensus has been a long-standing problem. A considerable amount of research has been focused on how event-triggered consensus can be used to limit the energy consumption of the communication system while still ensuring convergence to the neighbourhood of a point or a formation. These algorithms rely on having...master thesis 2023

Jansma, Walter (author)With the world’s population recently surpassing the 8 billion mark, population growth poses significant challenges on the planet. This growth is particularly evident in urban areas, and as a consequence, cities must find innovative ways to accommodate the increasing pressure on the current road infrastructure. In Amsterdam, a city with an...master thesis 2022

Zhai, Peiyuan (author)This work is focused on the distributed system, i.e. Multi-agent Systems (MAS), with application in environmental monitoring and learning. The specific task is to develop algorithms, i.e. Gaussian Process (GP), that are robust, accurate and fully-distributed to learn the unknown spatial environmental field. The two main problems are (1). how to...master thesis 2022

Chen, Szu-Tung (author)Inspired by the vision of fully autonomous airside operations at Schiphol airport, this study aims to contribute to the short-term goal of automated aircraft ground handling. In this research, we design and evaluate a multi-agent system for planning of automated ground handling. There are two main components in the system, task allocation...master thesis 2022

Kamphof, Jorick (author)Growth in air traffic demand and the increasing importance of reducing emissions cause airports to consider the improvement of their ground surface movement operations in terms of efficiency and environmental impact. Over the past years, engine-off taxiing techniques have been considered to reduce the environmental impact of airport taxiing...master thesis 2022

van Tilburg, Jasper (author)Distribution System Operators (DSOs) are responsible preventing grid congestion, while accounting for growing demand and the intermittent nature of renewable energy resources. Incentive-based demand response programs promise real-time flexibility to relieve grid congestion. To include residential consumers in these programs, aggregators can...master thesis 2021

Inna Kedege, Vibhav (author)Distributed cooperative robots can be highly beneficial in mapping disaster environments and assisting with search and rescue operations. In most situations such environments only allow for only limited communication between robots. This thesis reports on simulation experiments conducted to test the impact of having only partial communication...master 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

Sanders, Grégory (author)The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has had a tremendous impact on the aviation industry, with a reduction in passenger demand never seen before. To minimise the spread of the virus and to gain trust from the public in the airport operations' safety, airports implemented measures, e.g., physical distancing, entry/exit temperature screening and more....master thesis 2021

Duchateau, Wouter (author)Baggage handling systems in airports are generally over-designed and only need to work at full capacity for a couple of months during their lifetime. To cope with varying demand, flexible baggage handling systems are being developed which use Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) to handle a required capacity. These AGVs transport bags throughout the...master thesis 2021

Kuyper, Joël (author)This study proposes a novel coordination approach for the purpose of formation flying in civil aviation. Inspired by the natural phenomenon of bird flight, formation flying has proven to reduce the aerodynamic drag of trailing aircraft that follow the wake of a leader. We investigate the network scale fuel-savings potential of this operational...master thesis 2020

van Liere, Gaël (author)Airports play a key role during humanitarian relief operations. It is therefore important to connect the humanitarian and aviation disciplines to find possibilities to improve these airport operations when operating during and after a humanitarian disaster. This research provides a methodology on how to model, verify, calibrate and validate the...master thesis 2020

van den Oever, Joris (author)Multi-agent systems often communicate to perform better at their tasks. However, messages sometimes get lost after sending, and the communication is disrupted. This paper looks into the effects of messages having a chance of not arriving with an agent using the Blocks World for Teams simulation environment. The environment uses agent teams...master thesis 2020

Rosema, Yann (author)In the Dutch motorway traffic management (MTM) system used by Rijkswaterstaat, a central system and multiple outstations alongside the road communicate with each other to keep highways safe. This makes the MTM system a form of distributed flow control system. However, Rijkswaterstaat faces 2 problems with regards to traffic control: the control...master thesis 2020

Witte, Tijmen (author)Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) can be used in the exploration and mapping of unknown environments. To cooperate autonomously, each agent of the MAS must know its own location precisely within such an environment. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) techniques are commonly used when the Global Positioning System (GPS) is unavailable or does...master thesis 2019

Fines, Kostas (author)Airport surface movement operations are complex systems that experience many types of adverse events which require resilient, safe and efficient responses. One regularly occurring adverse event is that of runway reconfigurations. Agent based distributed planning and coordination has shown promising results in controlling and maintaining...master thesis 2019
