Sun, Junzi (author), Olive, Xavier (author), Delahaye, Daniel (author)Inefficiencies in flight operations, like deviations and non-optimal flight speed or altitude, are directly linked to flight emission inefficiencies. Quantifying these emission inefficiencies and studying potential mitigation strategies is certainly beneficial for the sustainability of the aviation industry. In this paper, we analyze emission...conference paper 2022

Chang, Haoliang (author), Huang, Jianxiang (author), Yao, Weiran (author), Zhao, Weizun (author), Li, L. (author)Urban rail development can increase land value, reduce commute time, and increase accessibility, as reported in the literature. However, little is known about the impact of opening urban rail transit stations on people's sentiment, particularly in the context of large metropolises where population density is significantly high. This paper...journal article 2022

Mostafaei, Habib (author), Smaragdakis, G. (author), Zinner, Thomas (author), Feldmann, Anja (author)Big data analytics platforms have played a critical role in the unprecedented success of data-driven applications. However, real-time and streaming data applications, and recent legislation, e.g., GDPR in Europe, have posed constraints on exchanging and analyzing data, especially personal data, across geographic regions. To address such...journal article 2022

Vasilikis, N. (author), Geertsma, R.D. (author), Visser, K. (author)Ship designers hardly ever receive feedback from the actual operation of their designs apart from sea acceptance trials. Similarly, crews operating the vessels do not receive a clear picture of the energy performance and environmental footprint of different options. This paper proposes a methodology based on operational data from continuous...journal article 2022

Itoh, Eri (author), Mitici, M.A. (author), Schultz, Michael (author)Reducing the length of departure queues at runway entry points is one of the most important requirements for reducing aircraft traffic congestion and fuel consumption at airports. This study designs an aircraft departure model at a runway using a time-varying fluid queue. The proposed model enables us to determine the aircraft waiting time in...journal article 2022

Herrera Semenets, V. (author), Hernández-León, Raudel (author), Bustio-Martínez, Lázaro (author), van den Berg, Jan (author)Telecommunications services have become a constant in people’s lives. This has inspired fraudsters to carry out malicious activities causing economic losses to people and companies. Early detection of signs that suggest the possible occurrence of malicious activity would allow analysts to act in time and avoid unintended consequences. Modeling...conference paper 2022

Kolkowski, Lukas (author)While social segregation is often assessed in terms of one socio-geographic space, usually place of residence, more recent approaches also incorporate activity-based and, in particular, mobility-based data. This study extends the use of mobility data to measure social segregation between multiple groups by developing a method to connect socio...master thesis 2021

Kuijpers, Jan-Willem (author)With standard aircraft configurations reaching their limits in efficiency, new aircraft configurations are being theorized and analyzed. One type of analysis is remotely piloted scaled flight tests. One of the aspects that can be analyzed through remotely piloted scaled flight tests is the dynamic behavior of the aircraft. This thesis shows a...master thesis 2021
