Autonomous shipping appears as a promising solution to reducing operational costs and improving logistics on inland waterways. The following research focuses on inland shipping in Zeeland, Netherlands to examine how autonomous shipping can impact logistics chains and be adopted by using inland shipping …

Automation of transport has several potential advantages, such as an increase in road capacity, in road safety and in driving comfort. In addition, automation offers a significant solution to the growing challenge of the driver shortage. In this report, we examine the impact of using autonomous vehicles …

Electrification of residential areas is increasingly common. Major areas of development include rooftop solar panels, electric vehicles and heat pumps. However, existing grid components may have insufficient network capacity to accommodate the resulting electricity flows. Battery energy storage (BES) …

In this project, several prototypes have been built and researched. The finished implementation is a software library written in the Flutter framework, which manages the collection of travel data, and the classification of this data via an on-device machine-learning model. Additional prototypes include …

The increasing share of renewable production like wind and PV poses new challenges to our energy system. The intermittent behavior and lack of controllability on these sources requires flexibility measures like storage and conversion. Production, consumption, transportation, storage and conversion systems …

Electrification of residential areas is increasingly common. Major areas of development include promoting rooftop solar panels, electric vehicles and heat pumps. However, existing grid components may have insufficient capacity to support the resulting electricity flows. Battery energy storage (BES) can …
