Duinkerken, Elwin (author)When trains are not actively traveling on the main rail network, they to be parked and prepared for their next journey. This is a complex problem, involving several interconnected subproblems. Additionally, there is uncertainty in this environment which can render initial plans infeasible during their execution. To ensure trains are able to...master thesis 2023

Doorn, Miriam (author)Scenario-based learning uses interactive scenarios to present the user with situations that need user input to be resolved in order to teach the user the correct behaviour. Traditionally these scenarios would be presented in a rigid order that is linearly increasing in difficulty. Every student however has a different learning rate. Studies have...master thesis 2023

de Wit, Gert (author)This studydives into factors influencing the shared e-moped usage in first- and last mile. Other studies show that the service area size, vehicle availability the shape of city and the temperature affect the shared e-moped usage. This study confirms the service catchment, temperature and vehicle availability factors. It adds to this that also...master thesis 2023

Gardos Reid, Reuben (author)Over 700 trains in the Netherlands are used daily for passenger transportation. Train operations involve tasks like parking, recombination, cleaning, and maintenance, which take place in shunting yards. The train unit shunting problem (TUSP) is a complex planning problem made more difficult by uncertainties such as delays. Most existing...master thesis 2023

Li, Zirui (author)End-to-end Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems improved drastically in recent years and they work extremely well on many large datasets. However, research shows that these models failed to capture the variability in speech production and have biases against the variant caused by the regional accented speech. Moreover, ASR research on...master thesis 2023

de Waal, Olaf (author)Train stations are developed by rail companies, for the benefit of travellers. Choices and trade-offs must be made. However, there are no guidelines on how to approach these trade-offs. This study aims to find out to what extent consulting train travellers from the station developer’s perspective contributes to making trade-offs in the...master thesis 2023

ter Schure, Steven (author)Train stations are becoming an increasingly important part of urban life. They are the connection between different transport hubs, a social interaction platform, and part of a culture or daily routine. However, many train stations are designed to meet only the first demand, “transporting people and making the city accessible”. Many stations in...master thesis 2023

Blankenzee, Regino (author)The planning of railway operations is a very complex process, in which timetables and other logistical plans need to be both reliable and robust to effectively prevent and cope with disturbances. However, research in the robustness of initial stabling plans, designed in an earlier planning phase, during the following planning phases, has been...master thesis 2023

Boersma, Caspar (author)Robots can aid in post-stroke motor function recovery and motor learning through the use of haptic feedback during collaborative training. A clear objective in robotic-assisted motor learning is to adapt the haptic feedback to individual users, but personal characteristics are not yet considered in this adaptation. <br/><br/>We investigated the...master thesis 2023

Zaheer, Ashma (author)Helpline counselors can be trained faster using agent-based social skills training systems. These systems utilize conversational agents that simulate interactions with users and provide feedback. This research evaluates the noticeability of behavior changes in such a conversational agent. By examining participants' ability to detect and...bachelor thesis 2023

Sochirca, Dan (author)Code generation models have become more popular recently, due to the fact that they assist developers in writing code in a more productive manner. While these large models deliver impressive performance, they require significant computational resources and memory, making them difficult to deploy and expensive to train. Additionally, their large...bachelor thesis 2023

Tian, Tim (author)This paper explored the usage of the Planning Domain Definition Language in the Train Unit Shunting Problem or TUSP, an NP-hard problem that occurs in train storage. This paper focuses on the evaluation and improvement of existing planners to solve TUSP with multiple shunting yard layouts, as well as an appropriate domain with it. Starting with...bachelor thesis 2023

Andonov, Bozhidar (author)When not in use, trains are stored at shunting yards, where they may need servicing. Planning for where the rolling stock should be parked during its stay at the yard is known as the Train Unit Shunting Problem (TUSP) and it is NP-hard. Algorithmic planners can assist with this computationally difficult task by providing a sequence of actions to...bachelor thesis 2023

Chiu, Simba (author)It is possible to improve the performance of planners by modifying the PDDL domain of a problem. The goal of this research is to implement this to the domain of the Train Unit Shunting Problem (TUSP). The research question we attempt to answer is: To what extent can we improve planner performance by optimizing the PDDL domain of TUSP? The main...bachelor thesis 2023

Gribnau, Mees (author)A shunting yard is used to store trains between arrival and departure. A conflict arises in a shunting yard when one train obstructs another from leaving. Resolving a conflict is done by re-allocating the trains obstructing the departing train to other tracks in the shunting yard. However, these re-allocations complicate the problem at hand and...bachelor thesis 2023

PYTHAROULIOU, ANGELINA (author)The rapid increase in global population and rising demands have resulted in a shortage of clean water, depleting several of the Earth's reservoirs, especially those that reserve fresh water. Just 0.007% of the water on Earth is used to hydrate and feed billions of people, as determined by the water balance of the planet. Water-stressed nations...master thesis 2023
