van Beek, A.H.N. (author), Feng, Y. (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Efficient crowd management is essential for optimizing the performance of pedestrian infrastructures, either in terms of crowd flow or pedestrian levels of safety and comfort. This study investigates the impact of one type of crowd management measure, namely lighting, on pedestrian behavior. Using Virtual Reality experiments, the impact of...journal article 2024

Zhan, Shuguang (author), Xie, Jiemin (author), Wong, S. C. (author), Zhu, Y. (author), Corman, Francesco (author)External and internal factors can cause disturbances or disruptions in daily train operations, leading to deviations from official timetables and passenger delays. As a result, efficient train timetable rescheduling (TTR) methods are necessary to restore disrupted train services. Although TTR has been a popular research topic in recent years,...journal article 2024

Duives, D.C. (author), Ton, Danique (author)Crowding is often analyzed using crowd dynamics variables. Yet, it is questionable whether quantitative variables fully describe the perception of crowdedness. This paper presents four case studies into the Pedestrian Level-of-Service (PLoS), featuring a 1) mass event, 2) shopping environment, 3) festival, and 4) touristic hotspot. The...journal article 2024

(author), Stoorvogel, Marte M. (author), van den Berg, M. (author), Kroeze, Carolien (author), van Loon-Steensma, Jantsje M. (author)Coastal flood managers seek to anticipate future flood risk and as a result consider the adaptation of flood defences. Instead of crest heightening, dikes can be adapted to include hydrodynamic reducing vegetated foreshores to form a nature-based hybrid flood defence, for instance; at managed realignments. In this study we investigated the...journal article 2024

Hennig, R.J. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author), Tindemans, Simon H. (author)Electrification of energy end-uses brings an increasing load on electric distribution grids with load peaks that can cause network congestion. However, many new end-uses like electric vehicles, heat pumps, and electrified industrial processes have some flexibility to move their power consumption away from peak times. Congestion management...journal article 2024

van Staveren, D. (author), Arkesteijn, M.H. (author), den Heijer, A.C. (author)Purpose: Corporate real estate management (CREM) is complex due to an increasing number of real estate (RE) added values and the tensions between them. RE managers are faced with trade-offs: to choose a higher performance for one added value at the cost of another. CREM research mainly deals with trade-offs in a hypothetical sense, without...journal article 2024

Groot, D.J. (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)Conventional Air Traffic Control is still predominantly being done by human Air Traffic Controllers, however, as the traffic density increases, the workload of the controllers increases as well. Especially for the area of unmanned aviation, driven by the rise in drones, having human controllers might become unfeasible. One of the methods that...journal article 2024
