Nwanwe, C.C. (author), Fokker, P.A. (author)Reservoir simulations are performed with fine grid geological models as primary input into the reservoir simulators. These fine grid geological models contain ten million to one hundred million cells while current serial reservoir simulators can only handle one hundred thousand to one million cells. This disparity in scales prohibits direct...article 2020

(author), Libal, J. (author), Mermoud, A. (author)Potential investors in bifacial PV systems are still deterred by the uncertainty of energy yield predictions. Validation of the prediction methods and establishing an accuracy range is therefore a central prerequisite concerning the bankability of the bifacial technology. Because of the sensitivity on multiple additional factors compared to...article 2020

Kooiman, K. (author), Phillipson, F. (author), Sangers, A. (author)In this paper Time-stamp Stochastic Assignment Problems are studied. These problems occur in places where an incoming request or task has to be connected to a resource immediately. A definition and framework for these problems is given, in which the different Time-stamp Stochastic Assignment Problems can be categorised. An explicit notation is...conference paper 2020

Calvert, S.C. (author), Klunder, G.A. (author), Steendijk, J.L.L. (author), Snelder, M. (author)A Field-Operational-Test (FOT) with CACC vehicles and wireless communication with intelligent intersections on arterial roads was performed in autumn 2018, initiated by the Province of Noord-Holland in The Netherlands. The goal of the pilot was to demonstrate the feasibility of CACC platooning and V2I/I2V (infrastructure-tovehicle) communication...article 2020

Uittenbogaard, J. (author), de Jongh, J. (author), Wienss, A. (author), Deschuymer, P. (author)The overall number of fatalities in traffic accidents in Europe is decreasing substantially. Unfortunately, the number of fatalities among cyclists does not follow this trend. From the accident statistics it becomes clear that a major share of these killed cyclists in traffic accidents results from a collision with a motorized vehicle. The...conference paper 2020

(author)Management and control of border crossings points (BCPs) at frontiers draws widespread attention to prevent and stop irregular migration, human trafficking, and criminal and terroristic acts throughout the world, including at Europe’s Schengen borders. Currently, the checks at BCPs are rule-based, which is not favorable for the effectiveness and...conference paper 2020

Tajdari, F. (author), Berkhoff, A.P. (author), de Boer, A. (author)This paper studies an acoustic source with a relatively small thickness and a high bending stiffness. The acoustic source operates in the low frequency, quasi-static regime. The focus of the current study is on the actuation part in order to design an appropriate excitation mechanism. A flexural mechanism is modeled in combination with a...article 2020

Eledlebi, K. (author), Ruta, D. (author), Hildmann, H. (author), Saffre, F. (author), Alhammadi, Y. (author), Isakovic, A. (author)When deploying a wireless sensor network (WSN) identifying optimal locations for the nodes is challenging, especially so if the environment is either (i) unknown or (ii) obstacle-rich. We proposes BISON (Bio-Inspired Self- Organizing Network), a variant of the Voronoi algorithm to address this challenge. Among the features of the approach are...article 2020

(author)Simulators and games provide contextually rich environments, enabling learners to experience the relations between actions, events and outcomes. In order to be effective, learning situations need to be tailored to the needs of the individual learner. Virtual characters (or agents) that, in real time, select, adapt, and exhibit the behavior that...conference paper 2020

Paap, B. (author), Kraaijpoel, D. (author), Wassing, B. (author), van Wees, J.D. (author)Numerical simulations of seismic wave propagation usually rely on a simple source modelconsisting of an idealized point location and a moment tensor. In general, this is a validapproximation when the source dimensions are small relative to the distance of points at whichthe seismic wave motions are to be evaluated. Otherwise, a more realistic...article 2020
