de Gier, J. (author), Bergmans, J. (author), Hildmann, H. (author)A generic reasoning approach for autonomous unmanned vehicle (UxV) mission execution is presented. The system distinguishes (a) mission planning and (b) mission execution, treating these as separate but closely interdependent stages. The context of the work is that of tactical military operations, and the focus of the current (simulated)...article 2023

Bouw, K. (author), Wiekens, C.J. (author), Tigchelaar, C. (author), Faaij, A. (author)Participatory energy planning at the local level engages citizens, builds legitimacy and trust, and increases successful implementation of renewable energies. In the context of heat planning, technology choices highly vary depending on the local context and social conditions and including social input therefore benefits the planning process....article 2023

Nycander, E. (author), Morales España, G.A. (author), Söder, L. (author)The planning of future power systems with high shares of renewable generation requires modelling large and complex systems over long time periods, resulting in models which are computationally heavy to solve. For this reason methods that can be used to decrease the size of power system dispatch models are needed. A common method in large scale...article 2022

Konings, L. (author), Kuipers, T. (author), Thepass, S. (author)Future conflicts will increasingly take place in complex, urban environments. This calls for a change from operating in large formations and from static encampments to dispersed, networked, decentralized and small-scale operations. Concept development for dispersed operations and their accompanying strategies has only just begun. To aid in this...conference paper 2022

Bouw, K. (author), Wiekens, C. (author), Elbert, S. (author), Faaij, A. (author)It is essential to consider the social context when designing sustainable energy systems that lead to successful implementation in neighbourhoods. Current methods often only consider techno-economic aspects and are insufficiently capable of including social factors, because they are unclear about which social factors are relevant and how they...article 2022

van der Ploeg, C. (author), Smit, R. (author), Teerhuis, A. (author), Silvas, E. (author)Developing safe automated vehicles that can be proactive, safe, and comfortable in mixed traffic requires improved planning methods that are risk-averse and that account for predictions of the motion of other road users. To consider these criteria, in this article, we propose a nonlinear model-predictive trajectory generator scheme, which...conference paper 2022

Smit, R. (author), van der Ploeg, C. (author), Teerhuis, A. (author), Silvas, E. (author)The urban environment is amongst the most difficult domains for autonomous vehicles. The vehicle must be able to plan a safe route on challenging road layouts, in the presence of various dynamic traffic participants such as vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians and in various environmental conditions. The challenge remains to have motion planners...conference paper 2022

Bouquet, F. (author)Controlled, guided munitions can reduce dispersion in the shot, while providing the capability of engaging both stationary and maneuvering targets. The Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research has developed a fin-less control technology called Stagnation Pressure Reaction Control (SPRC) that takes stagnation pressure air and...article 2022

Phillipson, F. (author), Chiscop, I. (author)Matching electricity demand and supply by decentralised generators will be very important in the near future, where more and more electricity has to be produced sustainably. Optimisation problems that address this problem often have quadratic objective functions or constraints, due to the quadratic nature of energy loss. Where classical solvers...conference paper 2022

Pupa, A. (author), van Dijk, W. (author), Brekelmans, C. (author), Secchis, C. (author)Effective task scheduling in human-robot collaboration (HRC) scenarios is one of the great challenges of collaborative robotics. The shared workspace inside an industrial setting brings a lot of uncertainties that cannot be foreseen. A prior offline task scheduling strategy is ineffective in dealing with these uncertainties. In this paper, a...article 2022

Schadd, M.P.D. (author), Sternheim, A.M. (author), Blankendaal, R.A.M. (author), van der Kaaij, M. (author), Visker, O.H. (author)With recent technological advances, commanders request the support of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled systems during mission planning. Future AI systems may test a wide range of courses of action (COAs) and use a simulator to test each COA’s effectiveness in a war game. The COA’s effectiveness is however dependent on the commanders’ intent....article 2022

(author)Municipalities are key actors in planning and enabling the transition in the built environment to sustainable heat systems. Literature on the municipal experiences in the early phases of the heat transition is scarce. This paper addresses this gap by depicting the approaches of twenty-eight municipalities in the Netherlands. It aims to assess...article 2022

(author), Yorke-Smith, N. (author)Logistics planning is a complex optimization problem involving multiple decision makers. Automated scheduling systems offer support to human planners; however state-of-the-art approaches often employ a centralized control paradigm. While these approaches have shown great value, their application is hindered in dynamic settings with no central...conference paper 2022
