Localising objects with drones: A case study on the localisation of fisher boats in restricted areasGeers, Lisa (author)Due to safety or preservation reasons, certain objects or areas need to be inspected regularly. Currently, the inspection of objects is mostly done in-person, which is labour-intensive and not very effective. With the use of drones, areas and objects can be inspected from new angles at a much faster rate. To effectively monitor these objects...master thesis 2023

van der Werf, J.A. (author), Kapelan, Z. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author)Urban Drainage Systems can cause ecological and public health issues by releasing untreated contaminated water into the environment. Real-time control (RTC), augmented with rainfall nowcast, can effectively reduce these pollution loads. This research aims to identify key dynamics in the nowcast accuracies and relate those to the performance...journal article 2023

Singh, Avishreshth (author), Sampath, Prasanna Venkatesh (author), Biligiri, Krishna Prapoorna (author)Pervious concrete pavements (PCP) have been successfully constructed in low-to-medium volume roads attributed to their sustainability benefits. Several studies have investigated the hydrological performance of PCPs, but limited attention has been given to the structural and environmental aspects. Thus, the objective of this study was to...journal article 2023

Wagle, Raju (author), Sharma, Pawan (author), Sharma, Charu (author), Amin, Mohammad (author), Rueda, José L. (author), Gonzalez-Longatt, Francisco (author)Future distribution networks (DN) are subject to rapid load changes and high penetration of variable distributed energy resources (DER). Due to this, the DN operators face several operational challenges, especially voltage violations. Optimal power flow (OPF)-based reactive power control (RPC) from the smart converter (SC) is one of the...journal article 2023

Baak, Cornel (author)When traffic demand is high and the intersection lacks throughput, oversaturated traffic phenomena occur, such as the oversaturation of a turning bay or intersection link. When such unsafe situations emerge, control strategies can be applied to handle or avoid these spillback effects. In this paper, a spillback component is designed that detects...master thesis 2022

den Hoedt, Dirk (author)When a patient is in a hospital, it is very important to monitor their vital signs. Doctors and nurses use this information to assess the condition of the patient. Most of the existing vital signs measurement devices need physical contact with the patient. This thesis focuses on a non-contact vital signs estimation method. Using a mmWave radar,...master thesis 2022

Brevoord, Sophie (author)Urban wastewater systems can impact the urban ecology by untreated wastewater discharges through combined sewer overflow (CSO) events, or by partial treatment of the wastewater at the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). CSO events can cause oxygen depletion, eutrophication, and the discharge of pathogens. The partial treatment of the wastewater...master thesis 2022

van der Ploeg, Chris (author), Silvas, Emilia (author), van de Wouw, Nathan (author), Mohajerin Esfahani, P. (author)Estimating and detecting faults is crucial in ensuring safe and efficient automated systems. In the presence of disturbances, noise, or varying system dynamics, such estimation is even more challenging. To address this challenge, this letter proposes a novel filter to estimate multiple fault signals for a class of discrete-time linear...journal article 2022
