Crowdshipping as a delivery solution for outlier parcels: A case study in The Hague

The increasing parcel demand is resulting in increasing traffic congestion and emission problems in urban freight system. Crowdshipping service is an innovative logistics solution which envisions using the excess capacity in existing passenger transport to perform the delivery tasks. However, it may bring extra vehicle kilometres travelled due...

Optimisation of Capability Requirements of Heavy Lift Crane Vessel Conceptual Design

The study proposes a systematic and exploratory design strategy for determining the HLCV design capabilities. Accordingly, a Monte Carlo simulation optimisation model has been developed based on SDDP approach to align with this strategy. The model can be used as a decision support tool to assess the investment decisions on the design...

Fault-Tolerant Flight Control with Sensor-Based Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion

A worldwide civil aviation accident survey for the period of 2002 till 2011, conducted by the CAA-UK shows that in this time period nearly 40% of all the aircraft accidents involved loss of control. Despite the fatal outcomes, reconfigurable flight control might have been able to recover the aircraft by efficiently utilizing the remaining...
