Janssen, S.A.M. (author)We investigate the use of an Agent-based framework to identify and quantify the relationship between security and efficiency within airport terminals. In this framework, we define a novel Security Risk Assessment methodology that explicitly models attacker and defender behavior in a security scenario. It produces a security risk vector,...conference paper 2017

Van Min, M.L.M. (author)Research. World’s population is increasingly urban with more than half living in urban areas. Cities will keep growing, they will become increasingly polluted and gridlocked, damaging inhabitants’ health and making it hard for them to get around. Mobility is one of the key-drivers for creating a livable future city because the urban lay-out is...master thesis 2017

Kaur, M. (author)Over a century has passed since humans took to commercial flying. Traditional safety practices have worked well but the last decade has seen the need for an updated understanding of ATM safety. The modern safety views are complementary to the traditional ones but are also a new way of understanding and enabling safety practices. This master...master thesis 2017

Siebers, J.A. (author)This thesis describes a solution to the Ground Movement Problem, formulated by Atkin et al. in 2010. It is described as a routing and scheduling problem and involves directing aircraft to their destinations in a timely matter, with the aim to either reduce the overall travel time and/or to meet some target time windows. A Markov Decision Process...master thesis 2017

Bosch, Maja (author)As extreme weather events increase both in frequency and magnitude (IPCC, 2012, 2014), and considering that over 60% of the world population lives in coastal areas (UNEP, 2016) flood risk is increasing. Hereby, the need to address Flood Risk Management (FRM) becomes evident. Especially on small island the need for adequate FRM is apparent: ...master thesis 2017

Kaak, Davey (author)In this report an Agent-Based Model created by Bulleit and Drewek used for analysing terrorist attacks will be implemented and compared with reality. <br/><br/>First the implementation of the model is explained based on different articles written by Bulleit and Drewek. After that the data of the simulations are analysed statistically. In this...bachelor thesis 2017

Narayan S., Jishnu (author), Cats, O. (author), van Oort, N. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The emergence of innovative mobility solutions that offer flexible transport services, is changing the way urban public transport systems will be designed. Such mobility solutions offer on demand transport services and hence can solve the problems inherent with traditional line based and schedule based public transport systems. It is essential...conference paper 2017

Dubbelboer, J. (author), Nikolic, I. (author), Jenkins, K. (author), Hall, J (author)Flood risk emerges from the dynamic interaction between natural hazards and human vulnerability. Methods for the quantification of flood risk are well established, but tend to deal with human and economic vulnerability as being static or changing with an exogenously defined trend. In this paper we present an Agent-Based Model (ABM) developed...journal article 2017

van der Veen, R.A.C. (author), Kisjes, K.H. (author), Nikolic, I. (author)The shift to markets based on servicising, i.e. market-level transitions from product-based to service-based production and consumption patterns, may contribute to achieve absolute decoupling, i.e. the combined development of economic growth and environmental impact reduction. However, the potential of this contribution is largely unknown. In...journal article 2017

Vasiljevska, J. (author), Douw, J.V. (author), Mengolini, A. (author), Nikolic, I. (author)EU Regulation 2009/72/EC concerning common rules for internal market in electricity calls upon 80% of EU electricity consumers to be equipped with smart metering systems by 2020, provided that a positive economic assessment of all long-term costs and benefits to the market and the individual consumer is guaranteed. Understanding the impact...journal article 2017

Iychettira, K.K. (author), Hakvoort, R.A. (author), Linares, Pedro (author), de Jeu, R.J.J. (author)The governance of renewable electricity in Europe beyond 2020 is still uncertain. The only certain aspects are that national level targets will be abolished beyond 2020, and that most renewable electricity support schemes will take the form of competitive bidding. The objective of this paper is to assess the impact of policy choices, the so...journal article 2017

Moncada Escudero, J.A. (author), Lukszo, Z. (author), Junginger, M. (author), Faaij, A. (author), Weijnen, M.P.C. (author)The economic performance of biofuels supply chains depends on the interaction of technical characteristics as technological pathways and logistics, and social structures as actor behavior, their interactions and institutions. Traditional approaches focus on the technical problems only. Little attention has been paid to the institutional...journal article 2017

Moncada, J. A. (author), Junginger, M (author), Lukszo, Z. (author), Faaij, A (author), Weijnen, M.P.C. (author)Biofuel production is not cost competitive and thus requires governmental intervention. The effect of the institutional framework on the development of the biofuel sector is not yet well understood. This paper aims to analyze how biofuel production and production capacity could have evolved in Germany in the period 1992–2014. The effects of...journal article 2017

(author)We present an approach to simulate climate and energy policy for the EU, using a flexible and modular agent-based modelling approach and a toolbox, called the Energy Modelling Laboratory (EMLab). The paper shortly reviews core challenges and approaches for modelling climate and energy policy in light of the energy transition. Afterwards, we...journal article 2017

Bhagwat, P.C. (author), Marcheselli, A. (author), Richstein, J.C. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)We analyze the effectiveness of a forward capacity market (FCM) with long-term contracts in an electricity market in the presence of a growing share of renewable energy. An agent-based model is used for this analysis. Capacity markets can compensate for the deteriorating incentive to invest in controllable power plants when the share of...journal article 2017

Scheltes, Arthur (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author)The last mile in a public transport trip is known to bring a large disutility for passengers, because the conventional transport modes for this stage of the trip can, in many cases, be rather slow, inflexible and not provide a seamless experience to passengers. Fully automated vehicles (AVs), that is, those which do not need a driver, could act...journal article 2017

Vermeulen, B. (author), Pyka, A. (author), la Poutré, J.A. (author), de Kok, A.G. (author)In recent literature, there is disagreement over the temporal pattern of vertical governance of firms over the product life-cycle. We use a novel neo-Schumpeterian agent-based simulation model to investigate emerging patterns of vertical governance for different levels of imitability and substitutability of capabilities. We find that, in the...journal article 2016
