Zegeling, Jesse (author)In the upcoming years more train passengers are expected and with more trains on the tracks railway systems require greater resilience. Switches can play a major role during disruptions as they enable trains to be rerouted onto other tracks, allowing them to bypass the disruption but switches also facilitate overtaking, meet-pass operations at...master thesis 2024

van Gaal, Sjoerd (author)This thesis studies the use of metamaterials for mitigating train-induced ground-borne vibrations, a growing issue with the projected increase in train transportation. Traditional mitigation measures such as trenches often fall short, particularly at low frequencies and small incidence angles. Metamaterials, engineered to alter wave propagation...master thesis 2024

Rietveld, Maurits (author)Train drivers are challenged to stay alert during train driving, for a big part due to the limited amount of tasks, and monotony of tasks. Driver condition monitoring (DCM) is a technology that involves measuring the driver’s alertness state in real-time, in which use of eye-based measurements is considered. Since DCM’s are upcoming in car and...master thesis 2024

Schipper, Broer (author)The night train hub Berlin is a station specifically designed for night train travel. This would be for a future scenario where long-distance travel throughout Europe is done by night trains. The design is located in the east of Berlin where Station Berlin Lichtenberg is now. Currently, it is an underutilized station. The main reason for this...master thesis 2024

van Coevorden, Sarah (author)International train travel could serve as a more sustainable alternative to flying, especially for short distance journeys up to 750 km. Though both forms of transport have negative impacts, the environmental costs of travelling by train are significantly lower than travelling by plane (European Environmental Agency, 2021). Therefore, the...master thesis 2024

Shenoy, Rajath (author)The human eye is a very delicate yet highly intricate organ, and treatments such as cataract surgery call for meticulous precision. Ophthalmologists hone their skills over years of practice, which they initially acquired during their studies in medical schools. Basic skills such as globe fixation and capsulorhexis training have a very steep...master thesis 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
