Meng, M. (author), Dabrowski, M.M. (author), Stead, D. (author)The paper examines the development of different spatial plans to address flood resilience in the Chinese city of Guangzhou, one of the most vulnerable cities to flooding and climate change. The analysis focuses on the differences in planning procedures and planning mandates (determined by different plans in authority) before and after the launch...journal article 2019

Koppelaar, H. (author), Moghadam, Parastou Kordestani (author), Khan, Kamruzzaman (author), Kouhkani, Sareh (author), Segers, Gijs (author), van Warmerdam, Martin (author)The often reported reduction of Reaction Time (RT) by Vision Training) is successfully replicated by 81 athletes across sports. This enabled us to achieve a mean reduction of RTs for athletes eye-hand coordination of more than 10%, with high statistical significance. We explain how such an observed effect of Sensorimotor systems’ plasticity...journal article 2019

Li, S. (author), Liu, J. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Over the past two decades, a number of methods have been proposed for solving maritime collision avoidance problems. Most of these works take a single ship's perspective and focus on one-to-one or one-to-many situations. To more complicated many-to-many situations, less attention has been paid. To deal with the many-to-many collision...journal article 2019

Bouarfa, S. (author), Müller, Jasper (author), Blom, H.A.P. (author)Each day, airlines face disturbances that disrupt their carefully planned operations. Events like adverse weather conditions, sick crew members, or damaged aircraft often result in delays in the airline's schedule. An airline recovers from such disruptions through the role played by its Airline Operations Control (AOC). A Multi-Agent System ...journal article 2018

van de Weg, Goof Sterk (author), Vu, Hai L. (author), Hegyi, A. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)In this paper, we develop a hierarchical approach to optimize the signal timings in an urban traffic network taking into account the different dynamics in all traffic regimes. The proposed hierarchical control framework consists of two layers. The first layer--the network coordination layer--uses a model predictive control strategy based on a...journal article 2018

Ma, Wanjing (author), Zou, Li (author), An, Kun (author), Gartner, Nathan H. (author), Wang, M. (author)Arterial traffic signal coordination makes traffic flow more efficient and safer. This paper presents a partition-enabled multi-mode band (PM-BAND) model that is designed to solve the signal coordination problem for arterials with multiple modes, i.e., passenger cars and transit vehicles. The proposed method permits the progression bands to...journal article 2018

Khalilnezhad, H. (author), Popov, M. (author), van der Sluis, L. (author), Bos, Jorrit A. (author), Ametani, Akihiro (author)Energization overvoltages are among the severest overvoltages stressing insulations of EHV power system components. Since these overvoltages have a statistical nature, the insulation level should be determined with the use of a statistical approach by which the distribution of overvoltages is calculated. Literature has properly studied the...journal article 2018

Vermolen, F.J. (author), Segal, A. (author)In finite-element computations, one often needs to calculate integrals of products of powers of monomials over simplexes. In this manuscript, we prove a generalisation of the exact integration formula that was reported and proved for two-dimensional simplexes by Holand & Bell in 1969. We extend the proof to n-dimensional simplexes and to...journal article 2018

Khalilnezhad, H. (author), Popov, M. (author), Bos, Jorrit A. (author), de Jong, JPW (author), van der Sluis, L. (author)Switching operations in power systems can produce significant overvoltages under specific circumstances. With the increasing application of underground cables in transmission systems, the statistical distribution of energization overvoltages is expected to change substantially due to the different electrical characteristics of cables and OHLs....conference paper 2018

Laskaris, Georgios (author), Cats, O. (author), Jenelius, Erik (author), Rinaldi, Marco (author), Viti, Francesco (author)In transit corridors, multiple lines share a sequence of consecutive stops to provide higher joint frequency in higher demand areas. A key challenge is to coordinate the transition from single line to joint operation. A holding control strategy aimed at minimizing passenger travel times is introduced for lines merging into a shared corridor,...journal article 2018

Mulders, S.P. (author), Pamososuryo, Atindriyo Kusumo (author), Disario, Gianmarco Emilio (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author)With the trend of increasing wind turbine rotor diameters, the mitigation of blade fatigue loadings is of special interest to extend the turbine lifetime. Fatigue load reductions can be partly accomplished using individual pitch control (IPC) facilitated by the so-called multiblade coordinate (MBC) transformation. This operation transforms...journal article 2018

(author)Dutch regional municipalities increasingly take an active role in the transition to more sustainable and autonomous energy supply systems, using local energy sources like wind, solar and biomass. The ambition, on the one hand, concerns how an optimal local energy supply system can be designed such that local energy targets can be realized with...abstract 2018

van Horssen, W.T. (author), Wang, Y. (author), Cao, G. (author)In this paper, it is shown how characteristic coordinates, or equivalently how the well-known formula of d'Alembert, can be used to solve initial-boundary value problems for wave equations on fixed, bounded intervals involving Robin type of boundary conditions with time-dependent coefficients. A Robin boundary condition is a condition that...journal article 2018

Mahajan, V.V. (author), Nijssen, Tim M.J. (author), Kuipers, J.R. (author), Padding, J.T. (author)Fluidised beds are used in a variety of processes because of their favourable mass and heat transfer characteristics. In this and many other processes, non-spherical particles are commonplace, which can drastically affect the fluidisation behaviour. In this study, we use numerical models to study non-spherical fluidisation behaviour in detail...journal article 2018

(author)The separation and purification of light hydrocarbons is challenging in the industry. Recently, a ZJNU-30 metal-organic framework (MOF) has been found to have the potential for adsorption-based separation of olefins and diolefins with four carbon atoms [H. M. Liu et al. Chem. - Eur.

Oud, G.T. (author)This research entails the numerical simulation of physical flow instabilities that can occur in two-phase pipe flows with a new efficient algorithm. The fluids are assumed to be immiscible, and the flow is incompressible and isothermal in a straight circular pipe section with a certain inclination. The numerical algorithm that was developed...doctoral thesis 2017

Yuan, K. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)On freeways, congestion always leads to capacity drop. This means the queue discharge rate is lower than the pre-queue capacity. Our recent research findings indicate that the queue discharge rate increases with the speed in congestion, that is the capacity drop is strongly correlated with the congestion state. Incorporating this varying...journal article 2017
