Isaenko, Matvei (author)In my thesis I was studying the interrelation between network topology and dynamics and the emergence and evolution of institutions for the governance of CPR. This research was intended to shed some light on what is the role of networks in formation of endogenous institutions and the possible insights for policy makers and users of CPR. To...master thesis 2023

Hogervorst, Nwankwo (author)This research focuses on public attitudes toward nuclear energy in the context of reaching consensus on energy solutions for climate action. Using the Social Identity Approach, it analyzes how social groups shape opinions, with a spotlight on Germany and France. Political affiliation, age, socio-economic status, and gender are key identity...master thesis 2023

Aerden, Veronica (author)The Port of Rotterdam is the biggest port in Europe and with its great location an important place for trade between Europe and other continents. Record numbers of intercepted illegal goods show that criminals use this port to traffic illegal goods. A lot is still unknown about the criminal supply chain in the Port of Rotterdam and about the...master thesis 2023

Reitsema, Annoek (author)Reducing packaging waste is a pressing challenge requiring organisations to look beyond their own products, services and business models and take an ecosystem approach. Collaborative efforts in circular ecosystems offer a promising solution to tackle this issue. However, the impact of circular ecosystems on material flows in the packaging system...master thesis 2023

Wang, Yunyun (author)This project aims to relieve traffic pressure and enhance the parking experience for attendees during planned special events (PSEs). The objective is to develop an optimal strategy for efficiently allocating parking spaces during PSEs in parking lots.<br/><br/>PSEs, such as football games or large concerts, typically result in concentrated...master thesis 2023

de Bruijn, Abel (author)This research paper proposes a discrete agent-based model to simulate territorial development among micro-organisms. The model involves two species that interact through marker signals left behind by agents as they move through a three-dimensional lattice. The study builds on previous research that established a phase transition from a well...bachelor thesis 2023

Tunca, Kerem (author)This research has illustrated the abilities of incorporating robust decision making within train maintenance. Both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance processes of the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) have been examined, after which exploratory modeling and analysis enabled developing valuable insights for decision makers. Scenario analysis through...master thesis 2023

Eslamizadeh, S. (author)The transition to renewable energy sources affects all sectors of society, including the industrial sector. Besides climate policy ambitions and other concerns regarding the social and environmental acceptability of energy provision, the transition to renewables may also improve the availability and affordability of energy services. The latter...doctoral thesis 2023

van Loo, Julian (author)Energy poverty is an increasingly important issue. While vulnerable households are especially at risk in the energy transition, energy poverty effects of the transition are unknown. In Delft, a district heating network based on geothermal energy is planned. The distributive justice aspects of heat networks in the heating transition remain...master thesis 2023

van der Boon, Mike (author)Distributed Energy Resources (DER), like solar panels, are projected to take over power generation responsibilities. This will happen during the transition of the current power grid to the Smart Grid. Due to the importance of this power to society, it is crucial that the grid stays stable.<br/><br/>DER devices are similar to IoT devices in scale...master thesis 2023

De Bosscher, Benjamin (author)Airport terminals are complex sociotechnical systems, in which humans interact with diverse technical systems. A natural way to represent them is through agent-based modeling. However, this method has two drawbacks: it entails a heavy computational burden and the emergent properties are often difficult to analyze. The purpose of our research is...master thesis 2023

Tapia, Rodrigo Javier (author), Kourounioti, I. (author), Thoen, Sebastian (author), de Bok, M.A. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Crowdshipping (CS) is an emerging form of freight transport that is expected to reduce the externalities of urban freight transport. The supply of CS services originates from people with an intention to travel, who can choose to engage in a parcel delivery service as incidental carrier. The popular expectation is that this consolidation of...journal article 2023

Taberna, A. (author), Filatova, T. (author), Hadjimichael, Antonia (author), Noll, B.L. (author)Despite the growing calls to integrate realistic human behavior in sustainability science models, the representative rational agent prevails. This is especially problematic for climate change adaptation that relies on actions at various scales: from governments to individuals. Empirical evidence on individual adaptation to climate-induced...journal article 2023

Devia Pinzon, C.A. (author), Giordano, G. (author)We propose an agent-based opinion formation model characterised by a two-fold novelty. First, we realistically assume that each agent cannot measure the opinion of its neighbours about a given statement with infinite resolution and accuracy, and hence it can only perceive the opinion of others as agreeing much more, or more, or comparably, or...journal article 2023

(author)Agent-based modelling and simulation (ABMS), whether simple toy models or complex data-driven ones, is regularly applied in various domains to study the system-level patterns arising from individual behaviour and interactions. However, ABMS still faces diverse challenges such as modelling more representative agents or improving computational...journal article 2023

Lang, D. (author), Ertsen, M.W. (author)Early Southern Mesopotamia shows a complex history of expansion of (irrigated) farming in relation to urban developments and changing landscapes. As a first step to study expanding irrigated farming system, an irrigation-related agent-based model was developed to explore farm(land)s and irrigation systems in relation to decision-making...journal article 2023

Eslamizadeh, S. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Weijnen, M.P.C. (author)The importance of decreasing industrial CO2 footprints has become evident, as also highlighted in COP26. As such, the transition to renewable energy in the industrial sector is essential to meet the targets. To this aim, establishing industrial community energy systems (InCES) where industries collectively invest in a shared energy system is an...journal article 2023

Huang, R. (author), Liu, Guiwen (author), Li, Kaijian (author), Liu, Zhengxuan (author), Fu, Xinyue (author), Wen, J. (author)The cooperative behavior of residents is complex and influenced by their complicated social relationships. This complexity is especially noticeable in neighborhood renewal, so the government does not know how to promote residents' cooperative behavior. Therefore, this study proposes an agent-based model (ABM) to investigate the development of...journal article 2023
