Ale Ebrahim Dehkordi, Molood (author)In society, institutions are the foundation that governs human behaviour through rules, norms, and regulations. The actions and interactions of individuals are shaped by these institutions, forming a cyclic system with numerous parameters and factors. Altering any of these factors, triggers the entire system to transition into a new state that...doctoral thesis 2024

(author), Rogers, Colin (author), Harman, Stephen (author), Dale, Holly (author), Jahangir, Mohammed (author), Antoniou, Michael (author), Baker, Chris (author), Newman, Mike (author), Fioranelli, F. (author)Automatic target classification or recognition is a critical capability in noncooperative surveillance with radar in several defence and civilian applications. It is a well-established research field and numerous techniques exist for recognizing targets, including miniature unmanned air systems or drones (i.e., small, mini, micro, and nano...journal article 2024

Mohammadkarimi, M. (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author), Rajan, R.T. (author)A new method for joint ranging and Phase Offset (PO) estimation of multiple drones/aircrafts is proposed in this paper. The proposed method employs the superimposed uncoordinated Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) packets broadcasted by drones/aircrafts for joint range and PO estimation. It jointly estimates range and PO prior...journal article 2024

Wilson, Stanford (author), Rem, Nils (author), Schielen, R.M.J. (author), Snoek, Yvo (author)River managers today are faced with the challenge of adapting to climate change while also having to sustainably secure all important functions in a healthy river system for society. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) have proven themselves effective across a multitude of contexts; providing integrative approaches for river restoration, conservation...abstract 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

Li, Chunjie (author), Xu, Chengcheng (author), Chen, Y. (author), Li, Zhibin (author)To increase the efficiency and safety of expressway, this paper constructed a new intelligent connected cooperative vehicle infrastructure system and its effectiveness was verifid from both data and practical applications. Firstly, considering the convenience of using intelligent networking systems for public transportation, a new intelligent...journal article 2024

Chen, Wei (author), Eckelman, Matthew J. (author), Sprecher, B. (author), Chen, Wei (author), Wang, Peng (author)Rare earth elements (REEs) are vital to the development of low-carbon technologies. There are rising concerns in the United States and elsewhere about REE supply chain stability and risks given the unvalidated perception in the heavy reliance of China, by far the largest REE supplier. However, the relationship between key countries at...journal article 2024

Fokkink, R.J. (author), de Munnik, J.C. (author)We extend the notion of boycotts between players in cooperative games to boycotts between coalitions. We prove that convex games offer a proper setting for studying these games. Boycotts have a heterogeneous effect. Individual players that are targeted by many-on-one boycotts suffer most, while non-participating players may actually benefit...journal article 2024

(author)Vessels sailing in a single platoon could reduce resistance from the perspective of the whole platoon and the individual vessel, and contribute to improving energy benefits. Moreover, transportation energy costs and traffic efficiency are essential indicators for measuring waterborne transportation systems. We attempt to minimize...journal article 2023

de Groot, O.M. (author), Valk, Laurens (author), Keviczky, T. (author)In this work, we propose two cooperative passivity-based control methods for networks of mechanical systems. By cooperatively synchronizing the end-effector coordinates of the individual agents, we achieve cooperation between systems of different types. The underlying passivity property of our control approaches ensures that cooperation is...journal article 2023

Calvert, S.C. (author), van den Burg, Bastiaan D. (author), Taale, Henk (author)Route guidance in traffic management aims to improve traffic network performance aligned with a system optimum. However, service providers commonly offer user optimum travel advice that can negatively impact centralized route guidance. This paper quantifies and demonstrates the impact of different policy strategies for a centralized route...conference paper 2023

Dos Santos Vieira Brysch, S.L. (author), Garcia i Mateu, Adrià (author), Czischke, D.K. (author)Against the increasing commodification of housing, a new kind of housing cooperatives has emerged in Catalonia in the last decade. These cooperatives fall within the wider concept of collaborative housing (CH), i.e. they are collectively self-organised projects based on a collaborative design process, or ‘co-design’. In such a process,...journal article 2023

van der Niet, A.M. (author), Claij, C.C. (author), Saunders-Smits, Gillian (author)In 2020, a new two-year MSc programme in robotics was launched. Unlike most existing robotics programmes, which approach robotics from a specific discipline, this programme aims to train multi-deployable robot generalists using a cognitive approach (no hardware creation). The field of robotics is multidisciplinary by nature and educating...conference paper 2023

Wang, Shimin (author), Zhang, Hongwei (author), Baldi, S. (author), Zhong, Renxin (author)This article studies the leaderless consensus problem of heterogeneous multiple networked Euler-Lagrange systems subject to persistent disturbances with unknown constant biases, amplitudes, initial phases, and frequencies. The main characteristic of this study is that none of the agents has information of a common reference model or of a...journal article 2023

(author), van der Veen, M.A. (author)In order to capture and separate CO2 from the air or flue gas streams through nanoporous adsorbents, the influence of the humidity in these streams has to be taken into account as it hampers the capture process in two main ways: (1) water preferentially binds to CO2 adsorption sites and lowers the overall capacity, and (2) water causes...journal article 2023

Maessen, Rosa E.S. (author), Prendergast, J.M. (author), Peternel, L. (author)Skill propagation among robots without human involvement can be crucial in quickly spreading new physical skills to many robots. In this respect, it is a good alternative to pure reinforcement learning, which can be time-consuming, or learning from human demonstration, which requires human involvement. In the latter case, there may not be...journal article 2023
