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

Wu, Pansy (author)Traffic congestion is a challenge that frequently emerges due to changes in the roadways such as tunnels and sags, causing capacity reduction. The capacity drop phenomenon exacerbates traffic congestion, due to decreased queue discharge rates. Among the strategies employed for traffic management, Variable Speed Limit (VSL) control is a common...master 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

van der Maarel, Stefan (author)High-Speed Atomic Force Microscopy is widely used for investigating biological architectures and the semiconductor industry. The main limitation comes from parachuting or the Wile E. Coyote effect. Parachuting is the phenomenon where the cantilever taps on the sample towards a steep decrease in height, but does not get adjusted for this decrease...master thesis 2022

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

Wiersma, Jitse (author)New applications of connectivity between vehicles and the infrastructure are developed. One of these applications is providing upstream information on variable speed limits to connected and automated vehicles. It is expected that the connectivity can contribute to safer roads due to better compliance to the posted speed limits. Those...master thesis 2022

Han, Yu (author), Hegyi, A. (author), Zhang, Le (author), He, Zhengbing (author), Chung, Edward (author), Liu, Pan (author)Conventional reinforcement learning (RL) models of variable speed limit (VSL) control systems (and traffic control systems in general) cannot be trained in real traffic process because new control actions are usually explored randomly, which may result in high costs (delays) due to exploration and learning. For this reason, existing RL-based...journal article 2022

Todorović, Uglješa (author), Frejo, José Ramón D. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)The Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework has shown great potential for the control of Variable Speed Limits (VSLs) and Ramp Metering (RM) installations. However, the implementation to large freeway networks remains challenging. One major reason is that, by considering the VSLs to be discrete decision variables, an extremely difficult Mixed...journal article 2022

van den Akker, H.E.A. (author), Donkers, Renske (author), Zachariah, Githin T. (author), Shardt, Orest (author)The option of varying the molecular mass in multicomponent lattice Boltzmann simulations is being explored. First, results are presented for droplet formation at an aperture in a second immiscible liquid medium in which the difference in density between the two media is achieved by introducing asymmetry in the EOS, via adding particularly...journal article 2021

Ribeiro, M.J. (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)Current investigations into urban aerial mobility, as well as the continuing growth of global air transportation, have renewed interest in conflict detection and resolution (CD&R) methods. The use of drones for applications such as package delivery, would result in traffic densities that are orders of magnitude higher than those currently...journal article 2021

van de Weg, Goof Sterk (author), Hegyi, A. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Freeway congestion can reduce the freeway throughput due to the capacity drop or due to blocking caused by spillback to upstream ramps. Research has shown that congestion can be reduced by the application of ramp metering and variable speed limits. Model predictive control is a promising strategy for the optimization of the ramp metering...journal article 2019

Abdallah, Mohammed (author), Kapelan, Z. (author)Supplying high-quality water at competitive cost is a major challenge for water utilities worldwide, especially with ever increasing water quality standards and energy prices. A number of pump scheduling methods for optimizing simultaneously water quality and energy cost have been developed already. However, none of these methods is ideal...journal article 2019

Dominguez Frejo, J.R. (author), Papamichail, Ioannis (author), Papageorgiou, Markos (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)This paper proposes a new macroscopic model for Variable Speed Limits (VSLs), combining characteristics of previously proposed models, in order to have the capability of modeling different capacities, critical densities, and levels of compliance for links affected by speed limits. Moreover, the effects of VSLs on the fundamental diagram of...journal article 2018

van de Weg, Goof Sterk (author)Controlling road traffic networks is a complex problem. One of the difficulties is the coordination of actuators, such as traffic lights, variables speed limits, ramp metering and route guidance, with the aim to improve the network performance over a near-future time horizon. This dissertation develops algorithms that specifically balance fast...doctoral thesis 2017

Han, Y. (author), Hegyi, A. (author), Yuan, Y. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Papageorgiou, Markos (author), Roncoli, Claudio (author)In this paper we develop a fast model predictive control (MPC) approach for variable speed limit coordination to resolve freeway jam waves. Existing MPC approaches that are based on the second-order traffic flow models suffer from high computation load due to the non-linear and non-convex optimization formulation. In recent years, simplified...journal article 2017

Wang, M. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), van Arem, B. (author)The vision of intelligent vehicles traveling in road networks has prompted numerous concepts to control future traffic flow, one of which is the in-vehicle actuation of traffic control commands. The key of this concept is using intelligent vehicles as actuators for traffic control systems. Under this concept, we design and test a control...journal article 2016

Fan, X. (author)In a traditional AC distribution system, the synchronous frequencies of the generators are coupled with the system frequency, and thus the diesel engines are kept at a constant speed. In a Dynamic Positioning (DP) vessel such as a Platform Supply Vessel (PSV), the diesel engines sometimes work at the partial load condition. The efficiency of...master thesis 2013
