van Dillen, Bob (author)The introduction of Trajectory Based Operations (TBO) is set to change the operation on all levels of Air Traffic Control (ATC), including aerodrome control. Here, adherence to a planned four-dimensional trajectory is important to achieve a stable operation. At the same time, this concept provides possibilities for support tools to be used in...master thesis 2024

Snijders, Daan (author)With its 500.000 flights per year, Schiphol Airport is one of the busiest airports in Europe. Efficient runway use is vital for a smooth day-to-day operation. This paper investigates the new runway scheduler at Schiphol Airport, also referred to as the Departure Manager (DMAN). The new DMAN is built for a better utilisation of the outbound...master thesis 2024

Mahajan, N. (author), Hegyi, A. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Drivers initiate a discretionary lane change when they perceive an anticipated improvement in their own driving condition from moving to another lane. However, such a lane change can slow down other vehicles on the target lane, and even worse initiate a disturbance. In this work, we argue that the blocking effect triggered by individual lane...journal article 2024

van Doorn, Jan Laurenszoon (author)The application of automatic speech recognition in the air traffic control domain has been researched extensively. However, its primary application remains in the training and simulation of air traffic controllers. This is due to the insufficient performance of automatic speech recognition in specific environments, such as air traffic control,...master thesis 2023

Guo, Jiayi (author)With the steadily increasing road traffic demand, congestion on freeways has become a major problem. With the development of communication technology and automated vehicles, there are more opportunities for DTMs to be studied extensively at the coordination level and cooperation level. In the existing literature, the coordination of RM (ramp...master thesis 2023

Rathi, Ashwini (author)For high efficiency and flexibility, a fleet of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) both homogeneous and heterogeneous are widely used automation products for material handling in warehouses and automated production lines. Given the layout capacity, the AGVs interact with each other, which provokes challenges in Driverless Transport Vehicle System ...master thesis 2023

Post, Jan (author)As aviation recovers to pre-pandemic levels large amounts of Air Traffic Flow Management delay also return, as the traffic at airports and in airspaces reaches their old levels. These delays have a yearly cost of around 500 million euros in the European Civil Aviation Conference area and are detrimental to the experience of passengers. This...master thesis 2023

Lubberding, Jari (author)Air Traffic Control (ATC) is tasked with ensuring safe separation between aircraft in a given Controlled Traffic Region (CTR). To achieve this an Air Traffic Controller (ATCo) verbally gives clearances using over the air communication. These clearances are kept track of by the ATCo using so-called ‘flight-strips’, which in modern systems are...master thesis 2023

Landzaat, Tom (author)Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) allows aircraft to broadcast their own position, speed, altitude, and other information to ground stations and other nearby aircraft. This information is then used by air traffic control for situational awareness, and collision avoidance. ADS-B spoofing is possible due to the lack of...master thesis 2023

Vaiopoulos, Paris (author)The joint management of airspace by human controllers and automated agents is gaining prevalence in nextgeneration Air Traffic Control (ATC). In such settings, human controllers are challenged with maintaining situation awareness while dealing with intricate and often opaque automated technologies. This study probed the potential of a concept...master thesis 2023

Klomp, R.E. (author)THE increasing demand in worldwide air travel is foreseen to push the limits of capacity of the current Air TrafficManagement (ATM) system within the coming decade. Therefore, twomajor international programs have been initiated to fundamentally restructure the way in which Air Traffic Control (ATC) is performed. A key pillar in both programs is...doctoral thesis 2023

van Selling, Stijn (author)The Dutch Air Traffic Control has implemented fixed approach trajectories within approach control during night operations when traffic density is low. During the day, when traffic density is higher, vector-based operations are used. The Dutch Air Traffic Control aims to implement fixed approach trajectories when traffic density is high. This...master thesis 2023

Ribeiro, M.J. (author)Increasing delays and congestion reported in many aviation sectors indicate that the current centralised operational model is rapidly approaching saturation levels. Air Traffic Control (ATC) system is not expected to keep pace with the ever-increasing demand for air transportation. Its capacity is still limited by the available controllers, and...doctoral thesis 2023

Tsaniklidis, Georgios (author)Nowadays, the high demand for road transportation often reaches a point where it exceeds the capacity of freeway traffic networks, resulting in congestion. Freeway traffic congestion is a major social problem, as it is the reason for increased time delays, higher accident risk and environmental pollution. There is, therefore, the need for a...master thesis 2023

Groot, D.J. (author), Ribeiro, M.J. (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)The number of unmanned aircraft operating in the airspace is expected to grow exponentially during the next decades. This will likely lead to traffic densities that are higher than those currently observed in civil and general aviation, and might require both a different airspace structure compared to conventional aviation, as well as different...conference paper 2023

Zou, Y. (author), Borst, C. (author)To facilitate a smooth integration of drones into the current Air Traffic Management (ATM) system, Unmanned Air Traffic Management (UTM) systems, services and protocols are currently under development. Unlike current ATM, UTM will rely on high levels of automation. This is potentially problematic, because 100% safe and reliable automation under...conference paper 2023

Jeschke, J.M. (author), Sun, D. (author), Jamshidnejad, A. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)While Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a promising approach for network-wide control of urban traffic, the computational complexity of the, often nonlinear, online optimization procedure is too high for real-time implementations. In order to make MPC computationally efficient, this paper introduces a parameterized MPC (PMPC) approach for...journal article 2023

de Albuquerque Gleizer, G. (author), Mazo, M. (author)Event-triggered control (ETC) is claimed to provide significant reductions in sampling frequency when compared to periodic sampling, but little is formally known about its generated traffic. This work shows that ETC can exhibit very complex, even chaotic traffic, especially when the triggering condition is aggressive in reducing...journal article 2023

van der Horst, Gerben (author)Urban mobility is challenged with increasing demand, while at the same time reducing emissions, without leading to an unpleasant living environment. Reducing the number of stops on the urban arterial controlled by the coordinated traffic controller can provide (part of) the solution to these challenges for urban mobility. Coordinated traffic...master thesis 2022

Tielrooij, M. (author)Future concepts for Air Traffic Management (ATM) foresee—and even mandate—an increase in the distance from the destination airport at which the ATM system should start planning the arrival sequence and arrival time of inbound flights. By increasing the horizon beyond one hour before arrival, it becomes possible to timely adjust the flight path...doctoral thesis 2022
