Dynamic Transport Model for Nautical Recreational Activities

The aim of this research is to develop a transport model that is able to identify potential conflicts and bottlenecks for nautical recreational activities in the IJburgbaai, an open-space water area in the eastern part of Amsterdam.

Requirements for corrosion inhibitor release from damaged primers for stable protection: A simulation and experimental approach using cerium loaded carriers

In this work a diffusion-driven inhibitor transport model is used to help in the design of inhibitor-loaded carriers for anticorrosive primers. The work focuses on inhibitor release at damaged locations of different dimensions exposed to electrolyte and is validated experimentally. The damage dimensions are first simulated to determine the...

Time Use and Travel Behaviour with Automated Vehicles

Automated vehicles (AVs) have been a dream for a long time. From science fiction in the 1930s to countless prototypes, extensive road testing, and first use cases at present, the technology has clearly come a long way. So too has the vision of practitioners and academics matured to recognise the various potential benefits (e.g., accessibility,...

The disruption transport model: computing user delays resulting from infrastructure failures for multi-modal passenger & freight traffic

Transport infrastructure owners are moving from reactive toward proactive infrastructure management. This involves computation of costs associated with failure or maintenance, including expected transport delays. These delays are often computed by multiplying additional travel time by the number of travellers. However, this does not reflect...
