Krijnen, Petri (author)This master thesis provides an approach to develop Adaptation Pathways to prevent local flooding of the Dutch national highway network, using the A2 between the Vught and Sint-Michielsgestel junctions as a case study. Local flooding as result of extreme precipitation has the highest urgency on the Dutch national highway network, due to its...master thesis 2021

Nguyen, T.T. (author), Calvert, S.C. (author), Vu, Hai L. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)Highway bottlenecks are responsible for the majority of traffic congestion. Although the problem of bottleneck detection is not new, contemporary methods have not solved the problem thoroughly with regards to bottleneck locations, activation time, and related congestion tracking. These elements are essential for identifying and characterizing a...journal article 2021

Özer, I.E. (author)Flood defense systems are critical in protecting against catastrophic events which often lead to significant damage, fatalities or substantial socio-economic and environmental impact. Even though levees form a significant part of the existing flood defense systems, there is a limited knowledge of the different levee behavior processes and the...doctoral thesis 2020

Zeng, Q. (author)Company performance measurement is fundamental for decision-makers to monitor a company's performance and to solve management problems. The evolution of company performance measurement tools started from a pure financial-biased framework. The first generation of company performance measurement tools was achieved through supplementing the...doctoral thesis 2020

Demetriades, Valerie (author)Waterschap Brabantse Delta (WBD) has the intention to implement measures that enhance the baseflow. Baseflow consists of the groundwater flow and a small part of the interflow. During dry periods, streams are dependent on the baseflow. Enhancing the baseflow has a proper effect on the ecologically relevant quality of waters, and is therefore...master thesis 2020

Verhoeven, Vincent (author)The aim of this thesis project is to investigate the temporal changes of vegetation in Europe using statistical analysis and machine learning. A methodology is used consisting of five main steps. The first is data pre-processing, which is used to reduce the noise within the data set. This is followed by classification, which divides the data...master thesis 2020

Time-series analysis to estimate aquifer parameters, recharge, and changes in the groundwater regimeObergfell, C.C.A. (author)The objective of this thesis is twofold: to develop time series analysis methods for the estimation of aquifer parameters and recharge to be used in groundwater models and to develop time series analysis methods for the identification and quantification of a regime change.<br/>In Chapter 2, a pumping test is replaced by time series analysis of...doctoral thesis 2020

Urgilez Vinueza, A.R. (author), Robles, Jessica (author), Bakker, M. (author), Guzman, Pablo (author), Bogaard, T.A. (author)The high landslide risk potential along the steep hillslopes of the Eastern Andes in Ecuador provides challenges for hazard mitigation, especially in areas with hydropower dams and reservoirs. The objective of this study was to characterize, understand, and quantify the mechanisms driving the motions of the Guarumales landslide. This 1.5 km...journal article 2020

(author)The detection and characterization of signals of interest in the presence of (in)coherent ambient noise is central to the analysis of infrasound array data. Microbaroms have an extended source region and a dynamical character. From the perspective of an infrasound array, these coherent noise sources appear as interfering signals which...journal article 2020

Oostdam, Oskar Oostdam (author)Time series analysis is used to predict future behaviour of processes and is widely used in the finance sector. In this paper we will analyse the modelling of multivariate time series of financial data using vector autoregressive processes. The goal is that the reader will understand the presented models and could theoretically perform time...bachelor thesis 2019

van Rijen, Ladislas (author)The accumulation of natural and persistent anthropogenic debris in particular, within aquatic ecosystems, brings along a myriad of ramifications. By reducing these debris, damage to nautical vessels and harm to marine life can be mitigated. Rivers are an important pathway of debris towards coastal harbors, ports and marine ecosystems. To...master thesis 2019

Hornung, Patrick (author)This thesis studies single events (SE) in an SRAM from the identical satellites Sentinel 2A and 2B, in order to find links between SE, space weather, satellite operation and device properties from time and position of event occurrence. A study of theory on single event rate prediction and space radiation environments lies the foundation for the...master thesis 2019

Klop, Stijn (author)Estimating groundwater levels spatially using time series analysis. With time series analysis a response function of an observation well is determined. The response function is used to calibrate a conceptual groundwater model. This conceptual model is used to estimate groundwater levels in an area.master thesis 2019

Lin, Q. (author), Zhang, Yihuan (author), Verwer, S.E. (author), Wang, Jun (author)This paper proposes a novel hybrid model for learning discrete and continuous dynamics of car-following behaviors. Multiple modes representing driving patterns are identified by partitioning the model into groups of states. The model is visualizable and interpretable for car-following behavior recognition, traffic simulation, and human-like...journal article 2019

Obergfell, C.C.A. (author), Bakker, M. (author), Maas, C. (author)A new method is presented to estimate average diffuse aquifer recharge of water table aquifers in temperate climates using time series analysis of water table level fluctuations. An accurate estimate of the recharge caused by rainfall requires an accurate estimate of the influence of evaporation. In temperate climates, evaporation imprints a...journal article 2019

Khoshrou, A. (author), Pauwels, Eric J. (author)Scenario-based probabilistic forecasting models have been explored extensively in the literature in recent years. The performance of such models evidently depends to a large extent on how different input (temperature) scenarios are being generated. This paper proposes a generic framework for probabilistic load forecasting using an ensemble of...journal article 2019
