Groen, Joost (author)The thesis identifies critical implementation barriers to collective battery storage on business parks in the Netherlands. Subsequently, using a mixed methods research approach, different assessment frameworks are applied to propose three policy interventions that can overcome the identified critical implementation barriers and stimulate the...master thesis 2023

van Kouwen, Mathijs (author)In existing standards for photovoltaic (PV) plants, little guidance is provided in the spatial allocation of pyranometers. No universal and easily scalable algorithms exist that help designers of monitoring infrastructure in solar parks choose the most representative positions for irradiance sensors. <br/><br/>To fill this gap, a software tool...master thesis 2023

Nikolova, Iveta (author)This thesis presents a comparative case study of two exemplary for the post-war period projects - Robin Hood Gardens and Park Hill. Although a lot of research already exists on post-war mass housing and on the two projects individually, they have rarely been analyzed in comparison to each other, despite sharing similar characteristics. By...student report 2023

Brink, Paul (author)<b>Problem definition:</b> In the car park industry, a new trend has emerged, shifting the demand for parking from permanent one-of-a-kind parking structures towards temporary modular structures (Drenth, 2020). Meanwhile, the building industry faces a transition into a more sustainable industry. This requires rethinking of the design process,...master thesis 2023

Meert, Sander (author)"Brussels was never destroyed by the wars, but rather by its own people" these words of Victor Bourgouis show the destructive vision of social and cultural spaces in Brussels. The city's vision of urban development is based on top-down politics, fed by the desire to be modern. This affection leads to the non-identification and displacement of...master thesis 2023

Petter, Lilly (author)The constant manipulation of the Dutch delta system and the resulting creation of hard borders between the natural river landscape, the harbor and the city has led to a destabilized delta system(Hein, 2021; Meyer et al., 2015). The spatial and ecological challenges resulting from population growth and the resulting urban growth, as well as...master thesis 2023

Yan, Lanlan (author)Nowadays, limited bike parking spaces have been a severe problem to be solved in the Netherlands. Shared bikes are considered ideal solutions, as well as other emerging shared micromobility modes, e.g., shared e-bikes, e-scooters and e-mopeds, since they can help utilise vehicles better and alleviate more occupying land space. Moreover, shared...student report 2023

Zhou, H. (author), Dorsman, J.L. (author), Mandjes, M. (author), Snelder, M. (author)Nowadays, many cities are intending to reduce the use of private vehicles. Governments are incorporating new mobility services and are adapting their parking policies to promote a more sustainable mobility, as both strategies are believed to have the potential to reduce private vehicle use. To understand the effects of these strategies, one...journal article 2023

de Koning, Claudia (author)Although the private benefits of the car are enormous, it has also brought problematic externalities such as air pollution, CO2 emissions, traffic accidents, and an inactive lifestyle. Putting an end to the use of fossil fuel-powered cars is broadly considered critical to reduce transport impacts on climate change. Using sustainable transport...master thesis 2022

Tepjit, S. (author)Our research concentrated on a newly emerged problem related to smart cyber-physical systems (S-CPSs). The essence of the problem is that S-CPSs are based on reasoning mechanisms that enable them to generate context-dependent solutions for various application problems. Typically, development of application-specific reasoning mechanisms (ASRMs)...doctoral thesis 2022

Brands, Ivo (author)The increasing popularity of the city of Rotterdam has resulted in a number of spatial and ecological challenges. Public space is already scarce north of the Nieuwe Maas, with demand increasing due to densification, and the large amount of paved surface results in heat stress. Despite harbour functions having shifted from the city centre towards...master thesis 2022

Kimpton, Anthony (author), Stead, D. (author), Corcoran, Jonathan (author)Parking is often overlooked by urban researchers even though parking consumes large proportions of a city’s physical footprint and imposes a significant impediment to more sustainable travel. Underpinning this lack of attention is suitable data and methods capable of capturing the complex dynamics of parking. Here we redress this gap by...journal article 2022
