(author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Sewer asset management gained momentum and importance in recent years due to economic considerations, since infrastructure maintenance and rehabilitation directly represent major investments. Because physical urban water infrastructure has life expectancies of up to 100 years or more, contemporary urban drainage systems are strongly influenced...review 2019

Heijnen, P.W. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)Systems engineers are equipped to design complex networked systems such as infrastructures. A key goal is cost minimization over a vast solution space. However, finding a minimum-cost system while comprehensively satisfying different stakeholders is challenging and lacks proper methodological support. Stakeholders often employ their own...journal article 2019

Kültür, Sinem (author), Türkeri, Nil (author), Knaack, U. (author)This paper presents a holistic decision support tool developed for use during the early stages of facade design. The tool is based on the interdependent relationships between facade performance, facade parameters, and conditions (environmental and spatial). It assumes that a decision maker has the ability to enhance the performance of a facade...journal article 2019

Koornneef, H. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Curran, R. (author)Delays are costly to airlines in both money and image. A significant number of delays is caused by unexpected technical failures of aircraft systems or components. These failures, if not dealt with efficiently, can cause disruptions in the flight schedule and network. The annual costs of these type of disruptions add up to an estimated cost...conference paper 2019

(author), Gutsche, Jens-Martin (author)Improving waste and resource management entails working on interrelations between different material flows, territories and groups of actors. This calls for new decision support tools for translating the complex information on flows into accessible knowledge usable by stakeholders in the spatial planning process. This article describes an open...journal article 2019

Winkler, Daniel (author), Haltmeier, Markus (author), Kleidorfer, Manfred (author), Rauch, Wolfgang (author), Tscheikner-Gratl, F. (author)Pipe failure modelling is an important tool for strategic rehabilitation planning of urban water distribution infrastructure. Rehabilitation predictions are mostly based on existing network data and historical failure records, both of varying quality. This paper presents a framework for the extraction and processing of such data to use it for...journal article 2018

Flipse, S.M. (author), van de Loo, C.J. (author)Responsible innovation requires, among other things, that innovators reflect on the broader socio-ethical and socio-economic context of their work. This may be done by reflecting on innovation project complexity. However, tools and methods enabling relevant reflection are not abundant. In this explorative study, we investigated the effect of...journal article 2018

Marques Arsenio, A. (author), Salim, Iana Câmara (author), Hu, Mingming (author), Matsinhe, Nelson Pedro (author), Scheidegger, Ruth (author), Rietveld, L.C. (author)In Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, nitrate concentrations above 250 mg L??1 in groundwater have been reported. This happens due to the widespread use of latrines and septic tanks that allow for constant infiltration of its content into the soil and eventually to groundwater sources, a situation that is widespread in the Global South and...journal article 2018

Xie, Wei (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author), Maas, Ron (author), Li, Z. (author)This paper presents a methodology to support decision making based on the tram wheel-rail interface condition. The methodology relies on the following measurements: tram failure log-files regarding wheel-sliding events, monitored acoustics data and open source weather information. The proposed methodology consists of three stages: 1) data...conference paper 2018
