Climate change will lead to more extreme climate and weather phenomena, and this includes the increased risk and severity of flooding. Flooding is one of the most destructive and common natural hazards globally, and rising sea levels and extreme precipitation mean that many human settlements will be situated in climate-sensitive areas. <br/><br/...

Automated driving is where automobiles meet robotics. With the recent advances in intelligence, sensor technology, wireless technology, and computation power, we are inching ever closer to realising full autonomy in a vehicle. We are nowhere near the end of the line, however. Automated vehicles will have to interact with static obstacles like...

In recent years, imitation learning (IL) has been widely used in industry as the core of autonomous vehicle (AV) planning modules. However, previous work on IL planners shows sample inefficiency and low generalisation in safety-critical scenarios, on which they are rarely tested. As a result, IL planners can reach a performance plateau where...

For travelling from point A to point B, autonomous vehicles generate a route between the points. During the mission, the vehicle uses a motion planning and controls algorithm to follow the planned route while avoiding static and dynamic obstacles. Motion planning algorithms generally plan over a future time horizon to smoothly follow the route...

Our current food practices cause numerous environmental, social, cultural, and economic externalities. Yet while the challenges arise in these seemingly different dimensions, the solutions to finding a sustainable diet, might be found in the interplay between them. Striking a balance between components of the food system to ensure a future...

The transition towards electric vehicles (EVs) is ongoing and to facilitate this a covering charging infrastructure is required. Part of this charging infrastructure should be placed within the public space which causes problems and requires the multiple involved stakeholders to collaborate in order to solve these challenges. How this physical...

Using the IEA Ammonia Roadmap aligned with the IMAGE electricity scenarios, an extensive database was produced allowing for prospective LCAs across three storylines from 2020 to 2050 (SSP2-Base, SSP2-RCP26, SSP2-RCP19). The scenarios correspond respectively to 3.9, 2.0, and 1.5°C of global warming in 2100 (vs. pre-industrial levels). Regionally,...

The effects of climate change on the global community are becoming more strongly felt every year, creating devastation on our everyday lives. To combat that, a transition to low-carbon energy carriers is being envisioned by state and private actors through pledges during climate conferences and several candidate carriers are proposed. Among...

As the world’s population is constantly growing, there is increased pressure on agricultural food value chains to deliver sustainable food production, distribution, and consumption, forcing core stakeholders in the food value chain (FVC) to change to meet those needs. One of the most significant barriers is a lack of collaboration, which risks...

The effects of climate change are felt all around the world. An increased sea level goes hand in hand with an increased risk of flooding. To combat this, the coastlines must be reinforced to withstand future sea levels. However, repeatedly reinforcing coastlines to keep up with the sea level rise (SLR) could prove extremely costly. An...

The influence of the COVID-19 pandemic is profound and enduring to the entire world. A ‘recovery’ to go back in time is unlikely to happen due to the lack of uncertainty in the future. The darkest time will eventually pass, whereas post-pandemic, the era in which the pandemic is perceived to have subsided, can still accelerate existing trends...
