In the second part of the course several common quantitative methods for transportation and logistics are presented.
- queueing theory: overview of basic models and results.
- networks and routing: network flow problem, facility location problems, transportation problem, transshipment problem,
vehicle routing problem and other standard problems; standard algorithms i.e. the branch and bound method.
During the second quarter students must complete a practical assignment on a case study with a transportation network again
using Python.
Study Goals At the end of this course the students will be able to:
- Explain the importance and use of operations research techniques to analyze and improve systems (i.e. queuing, simulation,
forecasting, routing, scheduling)
- Formulate mathematical models of real-life problems (e.g., resource allocation, production planning, transportation) with
operations research techniques
- Verify and validate mathematical models
- Evaluate operation research techniques based on strengths and weaknesses (in terms of accuracy and efficiency) for improving
real-life problems
- Apply basic operation research techniques to small scale problems as well as realistic case studies
Education Method Lectures and exercises
Part of the lecture hours will be used for exercises in optimization. The exercises include both formulation of a mathematical
model and solving a model using software like Python.
It is strongly recommended to bring a laptop to the lectures.
There will be also additional reading material that will be provided during the course.

Course Contents If one wants to design effective (transport) systems, one needs to understand the behavior of -future- users of these systems. If
one wants to design effective (transport) policies, one needs to know how people will respond to these policies. This course sets
out to provide students with in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience with behavioral theories, mathematical models and
statistical methods that have proved very effective in understanding and predicting human choice behaviour.
Importantly, this course takes a quantitative (i.e., mathematical and statistical) perspective on choice behaviour; this is quite
different from the usual perspective in behavioral science-courses, which tends to be more qualitative. More specifically, we
formalize behavioral theories into mathematical models, which we then estimate on empirical datasets using cutting edge
statistical methods. In combination, the estimated 'choice models' support rigorous analysis and forecasts of quantitative
phenomena such as market shares for a new public transport service.
The theories, models and methods that are taught in this course are applicable -and have been used- throughout a wide variety of
domains, including but not limited to Transportation, Health, Marketing, Environment & Energy, and Political sciences. As such,
our course optimally prepares students for a wide range of (quantitative, empirical) topics for their graduation projects.
The course will cover both canonical (and Nobel Prize winning) methods which are based on the notion of rational decision
making, as well as more recently proposed ones which are based on notions of bounded rationality. Both lecturers are highly
active in the international research community, and their work forms part of the academic state of the art. For example, regret
minimization-models developed by Chorus have been incorporated in several leading Econometric software packages, and are
now taught in Econometrics courses in various corners of the world.
Study Goals Students will acquire an in-depth knowledge concerning the below mentioned theories, models and methods, as well as the skills
to use them in their own research. Finally, they will acquire an understanding of the usefulness and limitations of these theories,
models and methods; and an understanding of how they can and should be used in combination.
Knowledge transfer will take the form of a series of lectures, whereas skills will be (further) developed in tailor made computer
exercises. Specifically, during the computer exercises, students will learn how to design a statistically optimal choice
experiment, and how to analyze data obtained from such experiments. In addition, they will learn how to interpret the outcomes
of such analyses and how to use them to evaluate and design policies.
- Choice behaviour modelling methods (Chorus)

o Discrete choice theory
o Logit and Mixed Logit models
o Random Regret Minimization
- Stated Choice data collection methods (Molin)

o Data-collection paradigms
o Stated choice experiments
o Efficient design approaches.
Education Method Each method will we covered by means of:

o Lecture series
o Exercises, in which concepts taught during the lectures will be used in hands on exercises)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON KNOWLEDGE REQUIREMENTS:
We expect you to have substantial background in mathematics (calculus and statistics), including knowledge of mathematical
modeling, and of statistical metrics and testing procedures such as variance, correlation, normal distribution, standard errors, t-
test, and statistical testing of hypotheses (including the use of p-values). We also expect you to have knowledge of survey data
collection concepts and methods (sample, population, sampling procedures, questionnaires). Note that students with no or only
little backgroud in mathematics and statistics will find our course challenging.
Assessment Examination: written exam, consisting of a combination of open and closed questions, and computational work.

(e) Identify and discuss fallacies (flaws in reasoning) in their own work and that of others
3. To familiarize students with a helicopter view of the TIL domain on the basis of the four TIL specialisations (Policy,
Operations, Engineering & Logistics and Design).
Specifically, students are able to:
(a) discuss, explain and apply a number of generic reference models / tools (disciplinary "glasses", mindmapping,
spatial/network hierarchy, TRAIL Layer model)
(b) discuss, explain and apply a selection of detailed methods (e.g. queuing, CBA, etc) usable throughout the curriculum.
(c) make an informed (i.e. based on content) choice between the four specialisation packages
4. To train students in solving complex TIL design and research problems in (multi-disciplinary) group work. These (soft) skills
are not explicitly assessed / scored in the exam, but are used throughout Q1 in workshops (both design, research and TIL
disciplines related). Students are able to
(a) Brainstorm content and scope of research and design problems in a team
(b) Organize project work in teams
(c) Use each others talents and expertise
Education Method This course provides lectures, workshops and group work (design exercise + a research project)
Assessment Design exercises (group work) worth ca 2.5 EC
A written exam (individual) worth ca 2.5 EC
A scientific paper ("the project") (group work) worth ca 2 EC
Expected prior Knowledge none
Academic Skills We explicitly train some of the academic skills (see learning goals). What we expect of students is an academic attitude, both in
individual work (exam) and in in group work:
(a) We expect all students to study and work regularly and seriously --- we also expect that students expect the same from each
other. Should problems arise in groups only as a very last resort will we step in to take measures
(b) We expect students to engage in scientific debate, which is a very different thing than having a personal argument. Whos
right about say proposition A is not determined by popular vote nor by strength of voice but by the amount of EVIDENCE for
proposition A.
(c) We will check all project reports for plagiary---this is a very serious offence that can cost you dearly.
Literature & Study Will all be made available on Brightspace
Materials
Judgement The exam (5EC) and the project (i.e. writing a scientific paper) (2EC) are judged separately. ONLY if both >5.75 will we award
a grade for TIL4030-16.
Note that --- UNLIKE in previous years --- you score (a maximum of ) half the exam points in an integrated design exercise that
takes place in the last week of the course. Also here: you need a score of >5.75 for the design exercise and the written exam.

Course Contents In the track Urbanism students learn to integrate social, cultural, economic and political perspectives with the natural and man-
made conditions of an urban landscape in order to shape and plan for more sustainable development. This course, focusses on the
making or remaking of the natural and man-made conditions of the urban landscape surface and subsurface in order to integrate
all interest in an urban plan. The act of integration and design requires systemic knowledge on a wide range of subjects. In the
course the city is seen as a construction, with the central question being how to reconnect this surface and subsurface
construction to the natural systems of the territory?
One of the greatest urban challenges these days is urban renewal. This is a complex enterprise in itself because you deal with the
existing urban use and fabric. On top of that we need to deal with trends like climate change and the energy transition. One
dimension that returns to the urban project is the subsurface system, which plays a crucial role in water management, ecology
and energy supply. The subsurface system was for a long time excluded from the urban planning and design process, because it
was considered a technical aspect that was dealt with by civil engineers, not as part of the urban design. However, the subsurface
sets the conditions with highest impact: it is more costly and takes more time to change a cable system then it is to build a
building or construct road. Especially the idea that the natural system has already been altered for urban use, and thus lost, is
preventing innovative solution that deal with climate change and the energy transition in urban renewal.
Structure
The course programme consists of two lectures, an excursion and a workshop. The main structure of the course is based in the
System Exploration Environment and Subsurface (SEES). The SEES is a system approach that introduces technical information
of the subsurface system into the urban environment. The purpose of the SEES is to keep a system overview and get insight into
the chances and problems offered by the subsurface system.
SYSTEM EXPLORATION ENVIRONMENT AND SUBSURFACE

The SEES uses six functional layers with different dynamics, professional domains and knowledge fields: people, metabolism,
occupation, public space, infrastructure and subsurface. The subsurface layer is ordered in (for the urban planner and designer)
recognizable themes: water, energy, civil constructions and subsoil. Within the themes there is a logical order in the qualities of
the subsurface (www.ruimtexmilieu.nl). SEES connects the subsurface information with the urban surface in order to inspire and
set clear boundaries for the development of the urban surface. It is used for analysing potential problems, chances, demands and
supports a creative interaction early in the process of urban planning.

¬
Study Goals Learning objectives
Identify the natural and technical artefacts in the subsurface and their connection to the surface.
Identify and discuss the synergy between natural conditions and technological potential and possibilities in the relation between
surface and subsurface.
Demonstrate in a design the synergy between the natural system and technical possibilities in surface and subsurface.
Perform interdisciplinary working
Education Method Method
Readings in the field of knowledge brokerage, technical entrepreneurs, ecology, sustainability and urban theory for a better
understanding and theoretical framing of the individual project.
Workshops with professionals and with students of technical background to understand differences in language and concepts and
learn to apply the technical information to the spatial context.
Individual or group elaboration of the workshop results
Excursion
Assessment Deliverables
1)Research and analyses of technical data of your site resulting in a subsurface potential map.
2)Research and analyses of the surface of your site, resulting in a surface potential map.
3)Synthesis between 2 and 3 and together with 1 resulting in a (spatial)concept.

Summary During this course the maximization method is used in order to create a draft for a sustainable urban plan.
Course Contents This one to two weeks workshop forms part of a series of interdisciplinary electives in Sustainable Development. The central
theme is sustainable development, sustainable building and sustainable urban development. This subject can form part of the TU
graduation specialisation 'Technology in Sustainable Development' (TiSD), see www.tudelft.nl/tisd.
Study Goals The student:
- is capable of effectively analysing and researching complex urban development situations in which divergent environmental
interests play a role;
- is capable of elaborating various solutions in urban planning and design for various environmental interests and weighing these
against alternatives;
- is capable of clearly presenting the outcome (oral presentation and report) of different phases of the method used;
- is capable of effectively contributing as a member of a group.
Education Method The environment maximisation method is one directed towards design, in which environmental themes set the structure for the
design. On the basis of the (self stated) brief for a neighbourhood (dwellings with facilities and infrastructure) and the available
location, a number of environmental themes are 'maximised' in a workshop; these include: Landscape and soil; Flora and fauna;
Water; Mobility; Energy.
An outline (in maps and sections) of the 'best structure for the environment' is provided on the basis of the environmental
constraints in question. These sketches are then examined to see which reinforce and which contradict one another; the various
maximisations are thus optimised. It is also discussed which topics should be regarded as primary and which as secondary; in
this way a number of variants is developed for the neighbourhood. These are used as the basis for preparing a design and for
maximisation at neighbourhood and block level, with which the workshop concludes.
The exercise is held in the form of a workshop during a concentrated period of one to two weeks. Time commitment (total): 3
ECTS = 84 course load hours (approx. 28 hours contact time, approx. 56 hours unguided group and self study time).

Course Contents Cities are alive! People move through the city to reach their work, school, go shopping or to enjoy culture, art, or other people.
But what environments accommodate the urban vitality we all crave for? What is the influence of urban design and architecture?
This course aims to provide an overview of vested theories and cutting edge research on people movement, urban vitality and
public space. This includes seminal works by Gehl, Whyte, Jacobs, Appleyard, Lynch and research work by Cullen, Smithsons
and Venturi & Scott Brown. The role of citizens and designers in shaping vibrant urban public space is explored through
readings, film and active discussions with students. This is certainly not your average dry theory course the course material will
come alive through active discussions and the direct application of theories in analyzing real urban settings.
- knows key literature and recent research on people, movement and public space
- understands main theories on people, movement and public space
- applies these theories in analysing real urban settings
- evaluates critically on these theories
- creates presentations analysing the subject on an academic level.
Education Method The course consists of lectures, in which active participation and discussions are greatly welcomed and reading the course
materials is absolutely required. These are not consumer classes! Great urbanists are critical thinkers questioning the course
material, the lecturer and the general state of urban theory is strongly encouraged.
Lectures are followed by smaller discussion groups* that challenge you to discuss and apply the theories covered in class in real
urban analyses. Small weekly homework assignments are covered in these discussion groups. Therefore, come prepared!
The class concludes with a final group project statement based on research, defining a design assignment, without elaborating the
design. This will be presented at the last day of class.
*the discussion groups ideally consists of four members, who divide topics and peer each other.

Course Contents The course is structured in four content related lecture blocks and an assignment:
Methods: The basic principles of quantitative and monetary assessment methods will be introduced of which three approaches
more in-depth.
Impacts: Quantitative assessment methods compare alternative proposed solutions for transport problems in a systematic and
'fair' way. So, an important issue is what type of effects (i.e. impacts) to take into account, how to gather appropriate data on the
effects and their monetary value.
Application: The application of the CBA and/or MCA methods for traffic management, public transport, information provision
and automated transport (new transport system) projects will be discussed.
In practice: The use of quantitative evaluation methods in actual policy processes are discussed and analysed during lectures.
Assignment: In the assignment theoretical approaches introduced during the lectures will be put in practice. The assignment
includes different cases, different methods, and a sensitivity analysis.
The course introduces, discusses and challenges to apply formal quantitative assessment methods for transport infrastructure and
systems projects.
The lectures will provide insights in methods and approaches of formal quantitative evaluation methods that are used to compare
alternative solutions for transport problems. The course will help to be able to understand the approaches as used in private and
public practices and to interpret the results.
Introduction on quantitative evaluation methods:

Financial analysis: private sector investors view on investments, cash flows, time value of money, internal rate of return, and
project risk assessment.
(Societal) Cost benefit analysis: basic concepts and principles, monetisation of cost and benefits, social discount rate, net present
value estimation.
Multi-criteria analysis: basic concepts and principles, the role of criteria in decision-making, criteria weighting, sensitivity
analysis.
Assessing impacts, introduction on most relevant criteria/factors:

Travel cost impacts assessment;
(Traffic) Safety impacts assessment;
Environmental and ecological impacts;
Land use impacts ;
Social impacts.
Application of assessment methods in specific cases:

Transport infrastructure projects (e.g. road infrastructures),
Transport systems (e.g. public transport systems) and intelligent transport systems, and automated driving).
Usage and usability of assessments private and public planning process, in different national and cultural settings.
Study load:42 hours lectures, 14 hours preparation lectures, 21 hours assignment, 35 hours exam preparation
Study Goals The course aims to enable students to understand and apply quantitative assessment methods for large scale transport projects, to
analyse and evaluate their use and to design a basic assessment model.
By the end of the course students are able to:

LG1: Identify and describe the key impacts/factors to be included into quantitative assessments. Identify concepts and main
methods for quantification and valuation.
LG2: Understand evaluation methods for non-market costs and explain the concept of time value of money, the related present
value principle and the use of discount rates;
LG 3: Apply financial analysis method, cost-benefit analysis and multi criteria analysis for basic cases, including finding and
estimating appropriate values for criteria and weighing factors (assignment);
LG 4:Analyse and evaluate the use of quantitative assessment approaches, taking into account objectives of stakeholders,
possible cultural differences in value systems and possible biases in the various steps of the analysis process;
LG5:Create a cost-benefit analysis model and a multi criteria analysis model (spreadsheet); estimate appropriate values for
criteria for future transport concepts.
Education Method The course consists of lectures and an assignment.
The lectures focus on giving introductions and background information on evaluation methods, and examples of cases and
applications thereof. Lectures are designed in a way to spark discussion and to interact.
The assignment is performed by student groups. In the assignment students apply knowledge derived from lectures and
additional information gathered by themselves. The assignments require performing spreadsheet modelling/calculations and
reporting.

Course Contents Transport policies are almost always controversial. Several methods are applied worldwide to support decision-making in
transport. Nowadays, societal cost-benefit analysis (CBA) and Multi Criteria Decision Methods (MCDM) are the most
prominent and well-known transport policy appraisal methods. In this course you will learn about the newest scientific
developments in these appraisal methods and you will learn how to apply the methods. Additionally, you will learn about
theories and criteria for a relatively new aspect in transport policy appraisal: the fairness of the policy.
Study Goals Describe and explain traditional evaluation methods (CBA and MCDM) and non-traditional evaluation methods.
Explain the pros and cons of different methods for different evaluation circumstances
Describe the ethical critiques for different types of evaluation methods
Define/pick a research gap (to be used in the paper)
Perform a CBA and MCA for a given real-life problem whilst recognising and including ethical concerns
Write an academic paper, based on completed case study exercise, where: A research gap that the student can fill/contribute to
is identified ; Pros and cons of ONE chosen method are critically reflected upon; The suitability of the method is convincingly
argued;
The results are analysed and interpreted, criticised with particular attention to ethical issues; Policy recommendations are made
on the use of the results
Education Method In three formal lectures the methods and theories will be explained. By using an exercise in three tutorials students will apply the
methods and theories. Finally, by analysing a pre-defined real-world controversial transport policy case and at least ten scientific
papers (which they have selected themselves) students will learn to critically reflect on appraisal outcomes. They have to write a
concise essay to report their findings and reflections.
Assessment The exam is an individual paper of 3500 words (excluding appendices and list of references). (70%)

Course Contents The transport system is continuously changing due to the introduction of many innovative concepts in vehicles, infrastructure,
and services, examples being the introduction of the car, e-bike or high speed train (vehicles), Uber, pay as you drive, city
logistics concepts, or satellite navigation (services), or the maglev train and charging facilities (infrastructure). But many
candidate innovations fail. And if they succeed, they might have important impacts on society not only the travellers or
companies transporting goods, but also peoples being exposed to noise and pollution, and companies selling vehicles or proving
services. And such changes might be relevant for policy makers.
In this course you will learn about factors important for the success or failure of candidate innovations, and the societal impacts
of these innovations.
Study Goals The main learning goals are:
1.Success and failure factors: students should be able to analyse, assess, conceptualize and evaluate most important success and
failure factors (SFFs) of candidate transport innovations, and translate these factors to implications for actor categories.
2.Impacts: students should be able to design a conceptual model which shows and explains all potential impacts of a candidate
innovations per actor category.
3.Research and communication: Students should be able to find and select relevant literature on transport innovations, address
gaps in literature needed to be able to recommend on candidate innovations, communicate SFFs and impacts of innovations, and
work as part of a team in this area.

Required for This course is mandatory for the Annotation Railway Systems.
Course Contents This course considers railway signalling and the coordination of technical and organizational railway subsystems from
investments to operations. A good understanding of the railway safety and signalling principles is required to design safe and
efficient railway operations. But railway performance depends on the coordination of many more technical and organisational
subsystems with constraints and objectives largely influenced by policy and (safety) legislation. Many examples exist of
misalignments in the coordination of the various subsystems which resulted in increased costs and decreased performance. A
main example is a coordinated deployment strategy for migrating to new signalling systems such as the European Rail Traffic
Management System (ERTMS). The topics on railway signalling include history of railway signalling, block signalling,
interlocking, automatic train protection, and automatic train operation. The part on the coordination in the railway value chain
covers railway governance, railway value chains, short-term and long-term coordination. Migration to ERTMS is a common
theme in both parts.
Study Goals At the end of this course you will be able to
Analyse railway signalling systems, including block signalling, interlocking, and automatic train protection systems
Discuss railway safety principles and its impact on operations performance
Analyse railway value chains and potential coordination misalignments
Discuss railway governance and main policy options
Discuss signalling migration issues, including ERTMS and ATO
Education Method This course uses Blended Learning with a mixture of videos, lectures, reading, guest lectures, discussions, oral presentations, and

Expected prior knowledge Knowledge about basic statistics and data-analysis (probability density functions, hypothesis testing, regression) is absolutely
required as prior knowledge. Without this knowledge is will be very difficult to follow this course.
Course Contents In this course students will learn how to perform travel behaviour research and how to translate the findings from such research
into recommendations for transport policy design.
In the first part of the course (consisting of lectures) the students will acquire knowledge about the six modelling paradigms in
travel behaviour research, namely the econometric, psychological, geographical, biographical, marketing and sociological
paradigm. The strengths and weaknesses of each paradigm will be discussed. In addition, three state-of-the-art methods to
analyse travel behaviour (artificial neural network choice models, latent class clusters models and structural equation models)
will be discussed. These methods figure prominently within the six modelling paradigms.
In the second half of the course the acquired knowledge will be applied in an empirical research project. Each year a topic of
interest will be chosen, such as the electric bike, short-distance travel behaviour, airline travel, etc.
Study Goals After this course the students will be able:
(1)to carry out a travel behaviour study and report the research and its findings in a concise scientific paper.
(2)to translate the study findings to recommendations for transport policy design.
Education Method Lectures
Computers practicals
Group project (4-5 persons)
Computer Use In the course the following statistical softwarepackages will be used: SPSS, Latent Gold and AMOS
Assessment Knowledge about the modelling paradigms and three methods will be tested in an individual exam in week 5, which accounts for
50% of the final grade.
The group project will result in a scientific paper (6,000-8,000 words) (deadline in week 9), which also accounts for 50% of the
final grade.
Both grades should be >5.75 to pass the course. Both parts can be separately passed.

Several special topics will be taught, based on the latest research in simulation. This material will be illustrated in intensive and
interactive courses.
In addition to the lecture topics, several other simulation topics will be studied by groups of students, who will write a scientific
paper, and present their findings in class. These topics can be focused on the MSc program that the students participate in;
special topics to study are available for TIL, SEPAM/SEN, EPA, Computer Science, and other students.
Finally, groups of students will study a simulation package in-depth and discuss the commonalities and differences with other
packages. Again, the package chosen can be targeted at the MSc program of the students. TIL students can, e.g. study a package
that is more aimed at logistics and transport, SEPAM/SEN students can focus on a package that is used in systems design,
whereas EPA students can focus on a package used in policy analysis.
This course requires active participation and contains group work.

Study Goals After taking this course the student will have knowledge about:
- systemic principles behind simulation, and clear understanding of key terms, such as state, time, transition, event, process, and
activity;
- internal working of different kinds of discrete event simulation languages and environments, with a focus on state transitions
over time;
- underlying theories and formalisms of discrete event simulation, such as DEVS, DTSS and DESS;
- the DEVS paradigm, including state trajectories and transition functions; quantized DEVS (QDEVS); discretized time;
Dynamic Structure DEVS (DSDEVS), and other DEVS variants;
- transformation between simulation formalisms; the formalism-transformation graph;
- object-oriented simulation environments; service-based simulation;
- structure and abilities of distributed simulation; the concept of HLA to manage time and state in distributed simulations; classes
of functions in a distributed simulation environment;
- latest research activities in the field of simulation, with research topics like web-based simulation, real-time control using
simulation, agent based simulation, interactive simulation and gaming, and simulation in special domains;
- examples of successful and less successful simulation studies and the learning experiences of those studies;
- important similarities and differences between simulation languages, and selection methods for simulation packages.
Practical skills will have been developed with respect to:

- usage of at least one simulation package that was previously unknown;
- writing of a scientific paper on the topic of simulation.
Insight will have been gained on:

- comparing and contrasting simulation languages;
- the importance of time and state relationships for any type of simulation modeling;
- the formal foundations of the simulation domain.

Course Contents This course focuses modelling and designing machine-cargo interactions and using those interactions to conceptually design
equipment taking into account the transport demands and logistics processes.
The course starts with the logistic context with emphasis on (bulk and container) terminal level, for which the functionality of
equipment types will be addressed with regard to the cargo type (dry bulk, container, piece goods) and its characteristics.
Specific equipment types will be discussed, analysed and designed, such as a belt conveying systems used for bulk materials
(e.g. iron ore and coal) as well as for baggage and parcel handling. The interaction between cargo and equipment will be
explicitly taken into account.
Specifically for the bulk solid cargo type, an experimental assignment to determine the properties of a particular bulk solid
material is part of the course. Bulk solid materials include granular materials such as coal, sand, limestone, iron ore, grain. These
materials can be free flowing through bunkers and chutes as well as stored in silos, handled by stackers and reclaimers or
transported by conveyors. With the experimentally determined properties conceptual design of a silo and belt conveyor will be
undertaken.
State-of-the-art particle based simulation with Discrete Element Method (DEM) will be introduced. The parameters, algorithms,
and applications will be addressed, as well as the procedure for validation of DEM simulations to obtain realistic bulk material
behaviour in a virtual environment. It will be shown how DEM has led to new breakthroughs and developments in the field of
port handling equipment.

Course Contents In this course students will get familiar with automatic control techniques and their benefits and applications for real-time
coordination of actions in different kinds of large-scale transport systems. Theoretical concepts mostly related to model
predictive control are discussed, as well as their application to real-world transport systems. Illustrative examples of large-scale
systems include among others road networks, intermodal / synchromodal transport networks. The operation of these networks
relies on the interoperability of various machines such as cargo ships, trains, road tracks, automated guided vehicles, quay/yard
cranes and many more.
Study Goals Students are able to:
LO1.describe large-scale machines and transport systems using system theory
LO2. explain the design of an automatically controlled system and of the automatic coordination of several controlled systems
LO3. explain the design of control architectures for large-scale interconnected machines and transport systems (centralized,
distributed, single-agent, multi-agent, single-level, multi-level)
LO4. indicate the pros and cons of different control architectures
LO5.design a controller for a single machine used in the transport network (truck, ship, crane, etc)
LO6. develop a model predictive control framework for real-time logistics for large-scale transport systems

Expected prior knowledge -Knowledge in operations research (mathematical modelling, integer programming)
-Basic knowledge of optimization solver (e.g. CPLEX) and programming
In case of deficits, students need to invest additional time to acquire these knowledges.
Course Contents Coordinating physical, information and decision flow is a focal point in managing multi-modal freight transportation systems.
By having a global view on the entire supply chain - from raw material acquisition to the end customer delivery multimodal
systems aim to provide a rapid, efficient and low-cost solution for freight transportation.
On the other hand, social and environmental concerns have a central role in political and economic decision making. These
concerns result in laws and regulations that affect the production of goods and services. Therefore, in addition to provide
efficient, reliable and green services multimodal systems should be flexible enough to respond to short and long-term
environmental, social and political changes.
To address these challenges, effective, powerful and intelligent methods and techniques are required to analyse, plan and manage
multi-modal systems. Operations research is at the heart of this intelligence. Operational research models and methods,
integrated with enterprise information management systems, analyse and transform data into useful information for planning and
management.
This course focuses on the multimodal freight transportation. In particular design, planning and operation of multimodal
network. The models and techniques taught in this course deal with a wide range of problems. From the long-term physical
design and operating structure to the transport route selection, service mode and timetabling.
Study Goals The course focuses on multimodal transportation network. It presents the main models and methods to analyse and solve
problems arises in this context. The course aims at knowledge acquisition and development of problem solving skills. The goal is
to enhance students analytical and modeling capacities in research and practice.
Education Method The course is based on active participation. Readings will be given for each session and presentations will be supplemented by
discussions with the students.
Assessment The course is assessed based on two mid-term take-home exams (15% each adding up to 30% of the total grade) and one final
exam (70% of the total grade). In order to pass this course, students need to get more than 5.5/10 in their final exam. The results
of mid-term exams are valid only for the current year and are not transferable to the next academic year. In addition, re-take is
not allowed for the mid-term exams.

Summary Supply chain management covers product and information exchange between companies that are part of one or more supply
chains. Supply chain management contributes to the competitive strength of companies. The supply chain management function
co-ordinates and controls operational business value adding processes. For a large extent the supply chain management function
determines the flexibility of a company to respond to market changes and determines the efficiency of the internal processes
within that company, as well as the inter-company processes. Logistical and supply chain decision-making frequently relates to
situations in which conflicting wishes and desires from various parts of organizations have to be brought together cohesively.
Gaining insight into the performance indicators of a company, its logistical costs, customer expectations and the opportunities to
improve these aspects is of vital importance for the survivability of a company. All engineers will encounter logistics and supply
chain management to a greater or lesser extent in the business and institutional environment in which they will be working or in
which they will be carrying out their assignments.
This course covers the supply chain management function in and between companies. This course will provide the student
insight in the theoretical background of the supply chain, its current use and expected developments and innovations. The student

Expected prior knowledge Transport Modelling (CIE4801)
Course Contents Traditionally, traffic and transport policies focus on average conditions in the peak and off-peak period. However, in practice
many disturbances like incidents, bad weather conditions, maintenance works, and special events occur that affect the network
performance and may cause increased demand and/or reduced capacity and consequently (extreme) delays. In the course,
definitions and indicators will be presented for resilience, reliability, robustness and extreme situations. You will learn to use
data and modelling techniques to analyse the multimodal network performance (i.e. road and cross-mode effects) based on these
indicators and to design preventive and responsive measures for improving the network performance.
Study Goals At the end of this course you will be able to:
1. Use data analyses to evaluate the resilience of transport networks.
2. Use a dynamic traffic assignment model to evaluate the resilience of transport networks.
3. Design preventive and responsive measures for improving network performance
Education Method Lectures, lessons from practice (guest speakers), practicals assignment, student presentations.
The lectures in combination with self-study and exercises during practicals prepare the students for the assessment
(=assignment).
Assessment Assignment in groups. The assignment consists of 3 parts (data analysis, model analysis, design). Part 1 and 2 are combined
individual and group assignments. Part 3 is a group assignment. The individual grades will be combined with a group grade.
Part 1, 2 and 3 of the assignment have to be submitted in week 8. In week 3 and week 5 students can submit part 1 and 2
respectively for feedback only. In week 7 of the course the students will have to give a group presentation.
Assignment part 1 (individual + group): data analysis - 33% grade

Assignment Part 2 (individual + group): model analysis- 33% grade
Assignment Part 3 (group): design- 33% grade
For each partial grade a minimum score of 5.0 is required. Students can do 1 retake for each part of the assignment only if they
score below a 6 for that part. Minimum passing grade is 6.

Course Contents The course is structured in four content related lecture blocks and an assignment:
Methods: The basic principles of quantitative and monetary assessment methods will be introduced of which three approaches
more in-depth.
Impacts: Quantitative assessment methods compare alternative proposed solutions for transport problems in a systematic and
'fair' way. So, an important issue is what type of effects (i.e. impacts) to take into account, how to gather appropriate data on the
effects and their monetary value.
Application: The application of the CBA and/or MCA methods for traffic management, public transport, information provision
and automated transport (new transport system) projects will be discussed.
In practice: The use of quantitative evaluation methods in actual policy processes are discussed and analysed during lectures.
Assignment: In the assignment theoretical approaches introduced during the lectures will be put in practice. The assignment
includes different cases, different methods, and a sensitivity analysis.
The course introduces, discusses and challenges to apply formal quantitative assessment methods for transport infrastructure and
systems projects.
The lectures will provide insights in methods and approaches of formal quantitative evaluation methods that are used to compare
alternative solutions for transport problems. The course will help to be able to understand the approaches as used in private and
public practices and to interpret the results.
Introduction on quantitative evaluation methods:

Financial analysis: private sector investors view on investments, cash flows, time value of money, internal rate of return, and
project risk assessment.
(Societal) Cost benefit analysis: basic concepts and principles, monetisation of cost and benefits, social discount rate, net present
value estimation.
Multi-criteria analysis: basic concepts and principles, the role of criteria in decision-making, criteria weighting, sensitivity
analysis.
Assessing impacts, introduction on most relevant criteria/factors:

Travel cost impacts assessment;
(Traffic) Safety impacts assessment;
Environmental and ecological impacts;
Land use impacts ;
Social impacts.
Application of assessment methods in specific cases:

Transport infrastructure projects (e.g. road infrastructures),
Transport systems (e.g. public transport systems) and intelligent transport systems, and automated driving).
Usage and usability of assessments private and public planning process, in different national and cultural settings.
Study load:42 hours lectures, 14 hours preparation lectures, 21 hours assignment, 35 hours exam preparation
Study Goals The course aims to enable students to understand and apply quantitative assessment methods for large scale transport projects, to
analyse and evaluate their use and to design a basic assessment model.
By the end of the course students are able to:

LG1: Identify and describe the key impacts/factors to be included into quantitative assessments. Identify concepts and main
methods for quantification and valuation.
LG2: Understand evaluation methods for non-market costs and explain the concept of time value of money, the related present
value principle and the use of discount rates;
LG 3: Apply financial analysis method, cost-benefit analysis and multi criteria analysis for basic cases, including finding and
estimating appropriate values for criteria and weighing factors (assignment);
LG 4:Analyse and evaluate the use of quantitative assessment approaches, taking into account objectives of stakeholders,
possible cultural differences in value systems and possible biases in the various steps of the analysis process;
LG5:Create a cost-benefit analysis model and a multi criteria analysis model (spreadsheet); estimate appropriate values for
criteria for future transport concepts.
Education Method The course consists of lectures and an assignment.
The lectures focus on giving introductions and background information on evaluation methods, and examples of cases and
applications thereof. Lectures are designed in a way to spark discussion and to interact.
The assignment is performed by student groups. In the assignment students apply knowledge derived from lectures and
additional information gathered by themselves. The assignments require performing spreadsheet modelling/calculations and
reporting.

Required for This course is mandatory for the Annotation Railway Systems.
Course Contents This course considers railway signalling and the coordination of technical and organizational railway subsystems from
investments to operations. A good understanding of the railway safety and signalling principles is required to design safe and
efficient railway operations. But railway performance depends on the coordination of many more technical and organisational
subsystems with constraints and objectives largely influenced by policy and (safety) legislation. Many examples exist of
misalignments in the coordination of the various subsystems which resulted in increased costs and decreased performance. A
main example is a coordinated deployment strategy for migrating to new signalling systems such as the European Rail Traffic
Management System (ERTMS). The topics on railway signalling include history of railway signalling, block signalling,
interlocking, automatic train protection, and automatic train operation. The part on the coordination in the railway value chain
covers railway governance, railway value chains, short-term and long-term coordination. Migration to ERTMS is a common
theme in both parts.
Analyse railway signalling systems, including block signalling, interlocking, and automatic train protection systems
Discuss railway safety principles and its impact on operations performance
Analyse railway value chains and potential coordination misalignments
Discuss railway governance and main policy options
Discuss signalling migration issues, including ERTMS and ATO

Course Contents This course provides fundamental concepts from the field of Institutional Economics that are instrumental for the design of
institutions in socio-technical systems. Relevant frameworks and theories will be elaborated in relation to the design of socio-
technical systems. The fundamentals of institutional economics will be applied to concrete design challenges, like the transition
to sustainable infrastructures. It will be demonstrated how to relate Institutional Economics to interdisciplinary research
challenges, including engineering, political science, law and philosophy. This provides interesting perspectives to other courses
in the curriculum. Typical questions that are addressed in this module include:
What is the specific contribution of Institutional Economics to the design of socio-technical systems?
How to frame and interpret design challenges from an Institutional Economic perspective?
What is is an institutional design?
How can institutional designs be related to the technical design of complex systems?
How to operationalize concepts from institutional economics and apply them to empirical design challenges?
Study Goals After the completion of the course, the student is able to:
to understand and analyse complex institutional arrangements from an Institutional Economic perspective
reflect on the possible contribution of Institutional Economics in addressing different design challenges
apply approaches from Institutional Economics to concrete design challenges
position and apply different approaches from Institutional Economics to interdisciplinary design challenges.
establish a coherent institutional design given the features of the technical system(s) embedded in their socio-political
environment

Course Contents Suppose we want to switch to a hydrogen based economy in which fuel cell cars are used as power plants. Or suppose we want a
fully automated inland terminal. And what about the construction of multifunctional dikes? You cannot just realize that but you
have to be aware of the relevant legal and institutional framework. That framework will enable you to make things happen, but it
can also contain constraints.
This course focuses on the legal and institutional framework to take into account with that kind of projects. Are there for instance
legal instruments to force people to switch to fuel cell cars? And to what institutional layer do those instruments belong? Are
they easy to change? Or: can the government subsidize the transition to a fully automated inland terminal? What are the
constraints? And can we work around those constraints? Or: what exactly has to be studied for the environmental impact
assessment regarding the dike? Does an environmental impact assessment have to be conducted at all?
Students are requested to form groups and randomly pick a case description. Then, the group will present its case in an elevator
pitch to all the students and make an initial outline for the legal and institutional aspects of the case. On the basis of those
pitches, we will dive into the world of law in order to see what defines the design space for those projects, what areas of law are
relevant, whether the law forms a barrier or not and how the law can be used to realize those projects. Next to these group
assignments there will be an individual exam.
Study Goals At the end of the course, students are able to:
- Relate legal instruments to the institutional framework
- Work with the law as a system
- Relate the legal instruments to the institutional framework
- Identify the legal borders of the design space regarding a socio technical system
- Identify relevant law for a socio technical system
- Apply relevant law to a socio technical system and identify barriers and opportunities
- Deal with legal language
Education Method Interactive lectures.
Assessment In order to pass the course, the students (per group) will have to do an elevator pitch (5%), a peer review session (15%) and write
a group paper (40%) all based on the institutional and legal framework, the legal barriers and the legal opportunities regarding a
case that will be handed out during the course. Next to the group assignments there will be an individual exam (40%).

Course Contents Transport policies are almost always controversial. Several methods are applied worldwide to support decision-making in
transport. Nowadays, societal cost-benefit analysis (CBA) and Multi Criteria Decision Methods (MCDM) are the most
prominent and well-known transport policy appraisal methods. In this course you will learn about the newest scientific
developments in these appraisal methods and you will learn how to apply the methods. Additionally, you will learn about
theories and criteria for a relatively new aspect in transport policy appraisal: the fairness of the policy.
Study Goals Describe and explain traditional evaluation methods (CBA and MCDM) and non-traditional evaluation methods.
Explain the pros and cons of different methods for different evaluation circumstances
Describe the ethical critiques for different types of evaluation methods
Define/pick a research gap (to be used in the paper)
Perform a CBA and MCA for a given real-life problem whilst recognising and including ethical concerns
Write an academic paper, based on completed case study exercise, where: A research gap that the student can fill/contribute to
is identified ; Pros and cons of ONE chosen method are critically reflected upon; The suitability of the method is convincingly
argued;
The results are analysed and interpreted, criticised with particular attention to ethical issues; Policy recommendations are made
on the use of the results
Education Method In three formal lectures the methods and theories will be explained. By using an exercise in three tutorials students will apply the
methods and theories. Finally, by analysing a pre-defined real-world controversial transport policy case and at least ten scientific
papers (which they have selected themselves) students will learn to critically reflect on appraisal outcomes. They have to write a
concise essay to report their findings and reflections.
Assessment The exam is an individual paper of 3500 words (excluding appendices and list of references). (70%)

Expected prior knowledge Knowledge about basic statistics and data-analysis (probability density functions, hypothesis testing, regression) is absolutely
required as prior knowledge. Without this knowledge is will be very difficult to follow this course.
Course Contents In this course students will learn how to perform travel behaviour research and how to translate the findings from such research
into recommendations for transport policy design.
In the first part of the course (consisting of lectures) the students will acquire knowledge about the six modelling paradigms in
travel behaviour research, namely the econometric, psychological, geographical, biographical, marketing and sociological
paradigm. The strengths and weaknesses of each paradigm will be discussed. In addition, three state-of-the-art methods to
analyse travel behaviour (artificial neural network choice models, latent class clusters models and structural equation models)
will be discussed. These methods figure prominently within the six modelling paradigms.
In the second half of the course the acquired knowledge will be applied in an empirical research project. Each year a topic of
interest will be chosen, such as the electric bike, short-distance travel behaviour, airline travel, etc.
Study Goals After this course the students will be able:
(1)to carry out a travel behaviour study and report the research and its findings in a concise scientific paper.
(2)to translate the study findings to recommendations for transport policy design.
Computers practicals
Group project (4-5 persons)
Computer Use In the course the following statistical softwarepackages will be used: SPSS, Latent Gold and AMOS
Assessment Knowledge about the modelling paradigms and three methods will be tested in an individual exam in week 5, which accounts for
50% of the final grade.
The group project will result in a scientific paper (6,000-8,000 words) (deadline in week 9), which also accounts for 50% of the
final grade.
Both grades should be >5.75 to pass the course. Both parts can be separately passed.

Course Contents The transport system is continuously changing due to the introduction of many innovative concepts in vehicles, infrastructure,
and services, examples being the introduction of the car, e-bike or high speed train (vehicles), Uber, pay as you drive, city
logistics concepts, or satellite navigation (services), or the maglev train and charging facilities (infrastructure). But many
candidate innovations fail. And if they succeed, they might have important impacts on society not only the travellers or
companies transporting goods, but also peoples being exposed to noise and pollution, and companies selling vehicles or proving
services. And such changes might be relevant for policy makers.
In this course you will learn about factors important for the success or failure of candidate innovations, and the societal impacts
of these innovations.
Study Goals The main learning goals are:
1.Success and failure factors: students should be able to analyse, assess, conceptualize and evaluate most important success and
failure factors (SFFs) of candidate transport innovations, and translate these factors to implications for actor categories.
2.Impacts: students should be able to design a conceptual model which shows and explains all potential impacts of a candidate
innovations per actor category.
3.Research and communication: Students should be able to find and select relevant literature on transport innovations, address
gaps in literature needed to be able to recommend on candidate innovations, communicate SFFs and impacts of innovations, and
work as part of a team in this area.

- object-oriented simulation environments; service-based simulation;
- structure and abilities of distributed simulation; the concept of HLA to manage time and state in distributed simulations; classes
of functions in a distributed simulation environment;
- latest research activities in the field of simulation, with research topics like web-based simulation, real-time control using
simulation, agent based simulation, interactive simulation and gaming, and simulation in special domains;
- examples of successful and less successful simulation studies and the learning experiences of those studies;
- important similarities and differences between simulation languages, and selection methods for simulation packages.
Practical skills will have been developed with respect to:

- usage of at least one simulation package that was previously unknown;
- writing of a scientific paper on the topic of simulation.
Insight will have been gained on:

- comparing and contrasting simulation languages;
- the importance of time and state relationships for any type of simulation modeling;
- the formal foundations of the simulation domain.

Expected prior knowledge -Knowledge in operations research (mathematical modelling, integer programming)
-Basic knowledge of optimization solver (e.g. CPLEX) and programming
In case of deficits, students need to invest additional time to acquire these knowledges.
Course Contents Coordinating physical, information and decision flow is a focal point in managing multi-modal freight transportation systems.
By having a global view on the entire supply chain - from raw material acquisition to the end customer delivery multimodal
systems aim to provide a rapid, efficient and low-cost solution for freight transportation.
On the other hand, social and environmental concerns have a central role in political and economic decision making. These
concerns result in laws and regulations that affect the production of goods and services. Therefore, in addition to provide
efficient, reliable and green services multimodal systems should be flexible enough to respond to short and long-term
environmental, social and political changes.
To address these challenges, effective, powerful and intelligent methods and techniques are required to analyse, plan and manage
multi-modal systems. Operations research is at the heart of this intelligence. Operational research models and methods,
integrated with enterprise information management systems, analyse and transform data into useful information for planning and
management.
This course focuses on the multimodal freight transportation. In particular design, planning and operation of multimodal

Summary Supply chain management covers product and information exchange between companies that are part of one or more supply
chains. Supply chain management contributes to the competitive strength of companies. The supply chain management function
co-ordinates and controls operational business value adding processes. For a large extent the supply chain management function
determines the flexibility of a company to respond to market changes and determines the efficiency of the internal processes
within that company, as well as the inter-company processes. Logistical and supply chain decision-making frequently relates to
situations in which conflicting wishes and desires from various parts of organizations have to be brought together cohesively.
Gaining insight into the performance indicators of a company, its logistical costs, customer expectations and the opportunities to
improve these aspects is of vital importance for the survivability of a company. All engineers will encounter logistics and supply
chain management to a greater or lesser extent in the business and institutional environment in which they will be working or in
which they will be carrying out their assignments.
This course covers the supply chain management function in and between companies. This course will provide the student
insight in the theoretical background of the supply chain, its current use and expected developments and innovations. The student

Expected prior knowledge This course builds on the knowledge gained during courses like operations management, production logistics, logistics
management, supply chain management or equivalent courses. Students have ideally followed the course SEN9720 Logistics and
Supply Chain Innovations (first quarter). Understanding of supply chain management trade-offs is necessary to be able to
understand, analyze and develop supply chain game sessions. Students without this prior knowledge have to spend additional
study time prior to this course. Please consult the module manager if this is your case. During the first two lectures an overview
of relevant operational, logistics and supply chain management issues and trade-offs will be discussed. By means of small in-

Summary Supply chain management considers product and information exchange between companies in supply chains. It determines a
companys flexibility to respond to market changes and determines the efficiency of the internal processes within that company,
as well as the inter-company processes. Logistical and supply chain decision-making frequently relates to situations in which
conflicting wishes and desires from various parts of supply chain organizations have to be brought together cohesively. By
means of analyzing existing games and developing supply chain game sessions more insight in these conflicts can be gained. If
supply chain stakeholders play games they will improvement their awareness about supply chain mechanisms and possible
means of actions to improve the alignment of supply chain processes.
A serious game is a suitable tool to create awareness about relevant supply chain issues. It levels the experience of participants
(either novice or experienced from the field). After playing the game it contribute to discussions and facilitates the exchange of
knowledge and personal experience. Short introduction to some relevant supply chain concepts, playing a game and participating
in relevant discussions together are part of what is called a game sessions.
Playing games is learnfull, but designing and developing helps the game developer to understand the essence of the trade-off
from the real world. One of the approaches that can applied for design and development of a serious design session is the Triadic
Game Design approach of Harteveld (2011). Games general include three worlds, namely reality, meaning and play. These
worlds must be in balance to provide a serious game which will be fun to play and also to learn from. The world reality is needed
so the players of the game can relate to elements of the real world, this will make experience in the game intuitive and
understandable. Meaning is needed, because the game should have a learning purpose. At last the world of play is needed to
make a game playable. The game should have clear goals and rules. The play factor will guide players in the right direction of
the learning goals of the game. The three worlds are equally important, therefor they should be balanced. Balancing of these
three worlds, is what makes designing a game session complex.
During the design, development and execution of a game session the players have to gain knowledge about a certain logistics or
supply chain issues and/or trade-offs or the effect of changes in their part of the supply chain relative to changes in other parts of
the supply chain. This could for example be the implementation of technological innovations to improve traceability in the in the
logistic supply chain, the optimization of warehouses, the best collaboration approach, the understanding of the benefits of
synchromodality. In general playing and designing games helps to create a better awareness about logistics and the supply chain
in general and certain addressed problem areas in particular. In some cases games can help to gather data for analysis and
research purposes.

Course Contents This course focuses modelling and designing machine-cargo interactions and using those interactions to conceptually design
equipment taking into account the transport demands and logistics processes.
The course starts with the logistic context with emphasis on (bulk and container) terminal level, for which the functionality of
equipment types will be addressed with regard to the cargo type (dry bulk, container, piece goods) and its characteristics.
Specific equipment types will be discussed, analysed and designed, such as a belt conveying systems used for bulk materials
(e.g. iron ore and coal) as well as for baggage and parcel handling. The interaction between cargo and equipment will be
explicitly taken into account.
Specifically for the bulk solid cargo type, an experimental assignment to determine the properties of a particular bulk solid
material is part of the course. Bulk solid materials include granular materials such as coal, sand, limestone, iron ore, grain. These
materials can be free flowing through bunkers and chutes as well as stored in silos, handled by stackers and reclaimers or
transported by conveyors. With the experimentally determined properties conceptual design of a silo and belt conveyor will be
undertaken.

Course Contents This hands on course teaches the use of particle based simulations using Discrete Element Method (DEM). DEM can be applied
to any system that handles or consists out of (groups of) particles. DEM models individual particles (microscopic level) with the
aim to model realistic behaviour of a the system of particles (macroscopic level).
DEM can be used as an engineering tool to provide insight in influencing factors (e.g. particle size, shape and density) in particle
processes, such as segregation and mixing. It can help to analyse and solve bottlenecks in industrial systems, but then validation
of the model is required. After validation DEM can be used as a virtual prototyping environment for design of equipment that
handles particulate materials. The application range is wide: from powder handling (small particle sizes, cohesive materials in
food or pharmaceutical industry) to large scale systems such as rock dumping (e.g. 300 kg stones, 500 mm in size), and anything
in between including bulk handling.
Next to the theoretical background of DEM, the major part of this hands on course is to perform an assignment using the
software EDEM. In this assignment you will model and redesign or optimise a (part of a) handling system with a given
particulate material. This might also require laboratory work to measure real material properties on a macroscopic level such as
angle of repose and wall friction angle. Your DEM model has to represent realistic material behaviour and realistic interaction
between material and equipment. With the properly working DEM model you will analyse influential parameters and where
possible improve performance of equipment.
Typical application areas for DEM modelling are:

bulk handling of materials coal and iron ore, also including solid biomass such as wood pellets or biocoal
mining
offshore
food industry, handling of powders
pharmaceutical industry, powders and tablets
agricultural industry, for planting and soil preparation, post harvesting, fruit handling and sorting machines
pavement engineering, creating mixtures
and more.
Study Goals During the course the student will learn to:
1. explain the Discrete Element Method (DEM) theory
2. define the performance criteria of the system to be modeled
3. choose an appropriate contact model for material-material and material-equipment interaction in a DEM simulation
4. choose and implement a simplified but appropriate representation of the system in the simulation environment
5. calibrate and verify the model with experiments, experimental
data or analytical solutions
6. test the influence of different simulation parameters on the performance of the system

Expected prior knowledge
Technical academic BSc
Course Contents Transport equipment is in general a mechanical system, growing in size, capacity and complexity in order to accommodate
continuous development of transport. It is essential to ensure sufficient safety, serviceability and durability of the equipment at
the reduced cost in order to maintain the effectiveness of the transport system. This belongs to the research context of system
reliability. Typically, a transport equipment consists of multiple subsystems or components with different function, and they
would fail in different failure modes with different mechanism behind. Contributed by various nondestructive techniques
and online sensoring system, potential failure of the equipment (fault, defect, damage) could be detected and mitigated in
such a way that the occurrence of a catastrophic accident would be prevented, although with some extent of uncertainty caused
by, i.e., the sensitivity of NDTs, environmental noise, etc. Upon the detection of a fault (or damage), a follow-up maintenance
strategy shall be made in order to determine whether, when, where and how to repair/ maintain the equipment , constrained
by available budget, facilities and resources, etc.
The overall objective of the course is to prepare engineering graduates with an in-depth knowledge of system reliability,
maintainability and availability. A series of modules will be given covering the fundamental theory embedded in the reliability
and maintenance of transport equipment. Application of the theory in practice will be exemplified and practiced through in-
class exercises and discussion, weekly assignments and final written report. One or two guest lectures will be introduced to
demonstrate the implication of system reliability in the operation and maintenance of the transport equipment and the
infrastructure.
Study Goals
After successfully completing the course, students will be able to:
Explain the theory of NDT techniques and the conditional monitoring to detect defects/ fault.
Define system reliability and describe basic reliability measures
Estimate reliability measures based on the acquired data (from NDTs, etc.)
Perform system reliability evaluation
Define system maintainability and describe related basic measures
Define system availability and describe related basic measures
Determine a maintenance strategy at component level
Determine a maintenance strategy at system level
Analyze and develop a reasonable maintenance strategy for a simplified transport equipment / system.

Course Contents In this course students will get familiar with automatic control techniques and their benefits and applications for real-time
coordination of actions in different kinds of large-scale transport systems. Theoretical concepts mostly related to model
predictive control are discussed, as well as their application to real-world transport systems. Illustrative examples of large-scale
systems include among others road networks, intermodal / synchromodal transport networks. The operation of these networks
relies on the interoperability of various machines such as cargo ships, trains, road tracks, automated guided vehicles, quay/yard
cranes and many more.
Study Goals Students are able to:
LO1.describe large-scale machines and transport systems using system theory
LO2. explain the design of an automatically controlled system and of the automatic coordination of several controlled systems
LO3. explain the design of control architectures for large-scale interconnected machines and transport systems (centralized,
distributed, single-agent, multi-agent, single-level, multi-level)
LO4. indicate the pros and cons of different control architectures
LO5.design a controller for a single machine used in the transport network (truck, ship, crane, etc)
LO6. develop a model predictive control framework for real-time logistics for large-scale transport systems
Education Method Study material will be provided to support the lectures during which new concepts will be discussed and explained. Small groups
of students will be created to conduct a project that will help them to develop deeper understanding of the theoretical control and
coordination concepts applied to a specific machine that is part of a larger transport network. Throughout the course there are
also exercise sessions for understanding and implementing different the theoretical concepts.

Education Method COURSE APPROACH:
PART ONE in Q3: Lectures on theory / Cases by Guest Lectures and workshop. The lectures needs to be attended to built-up the
fundamentals of knowledge on Operations and Production Management. Discussions and sharing questions-answers are an
important part of the learning process in Q3.
PART TWO in Q4 the obtained knowledge must be applied for a process analysis or optional research paper.
Q4 is focused on your assignment with coaching on a personal basis. In the second part of the course the students learn to further
develop the theories or how to apply the theories in practice.
Students are working in groups for the assignments. The value stream or processes analysis assignments were executed for
instance in cooperation with KLM-E&M, KRONE, Fokker aerostructures, SEW-Eurodrive, Deloitte, Heineken, Allseas, IHC,
DAMEN or a company of your choice.
Q5 is available for the students if preferable for their time scheduling. All assignments can be submitted end of Q4 or end of Q5.
The deliverable is a report consisting of two parts
PART One: theories / cases by guest lectures / Lean SCAN, and the workshop.
PART TWO: Obtained knowledge is applied in assignnment Option 1 Process analysis or Opetion 2 Research Paper.
The groups need to reflect on the course regarding their learning journey consiting of theories, learnings, practice experiences
and own observations and READ a BOOK from the literature list to reflect on the process analysis and the theories.
Literature and Study Students read a book with the group and reflect the content of the book on the assignment process analysis.

Course Contents In the track Urbanism students learn to integrate social, cultural, economic and political perspectives with the natural and man-
made conditions of an urban landscape in order to shape and plan for more sustainable development. This course, focusses on the
making or remaking of the natural and man-made conditions of the urban landscape surface and subsurface in order to integrate
all interest in an urban plan. The act of integration and design requires systemic knowledge on a wide range of subjects. In the
course the city is seen as a construction, with the central question being how to reconnect this surface and subsurface
construction to the natural systems of the territory?
One of the greatest urban challenges these days is urban renewal. This is a complex enterprise in itself because you deal with the
existing urban use and fabric. On top of that we need to deal with trends like climate change and the energy transition. One
dimension that returns to the urban project is the subsurface system, which plays a crucial role in water management, ecology
and energy supply. The subsurface system was for a long time excluded from the urban planning and design process, because it
was considered a technical aspect that was dealt with by civil engineers, not as part of the urban design. However, the subsurface
sets the conditions with highest impact: it is more costly and takes more time to change a cable system then it is to build a
building or construct road. Especially the idea that the natural system has already been altered for urban use, and thus lost, is
preventing innovative solution that deal with climate change and the energy transition in urban renewal.
Structure
The course programme consists of two lectures, an excursion and a workshop. The main structure of the course is based in the
System Exploration Environment and Subsurface (SEES). The SEES is a system approach that introduces technical information
of the subsurface system into the urban environment. The purpose of the SEES is to keep a system overview and get insight into
the chances and problems offered by the subsurface system.
SYSTEM EXPLORATION ENVIRONMENT AND SUBSURFACE

The SEES uses six functional layers with different dynamics, professional domains and knowledge fields: people, metabolism,
occupation, public space, infrastructure and subsurface. The subsurface layer is ordered in (for the urban planner and designer)
recognizable themes: water, energy, civil constructions and subsoil. Within the themes there is a logical order in the qualities of
the subsurface (www.ruimtexmilieu.nl). SEES connects the subsurface information with the urban surface in order to inspire and
set clear boundaries for the development of the urban surface. It is used for analysing potential problems, chances, demands and
supports a creative interaction early in the process of urban planning.

¬
Study Goals Learning objectives
Identify the natural and technical artefacts in the subsurface and their connection to the surface.
Identify and discuss the synergy between natural conditions and technological potential and possibilities in the relation between
surface and subsurface.
Demonstrate in a design the synergy between the natural system and technical possibilities in surface and subsurface.
Perform interdisciplinary working
Education Method Method
Readings in the field of knowledge brokerage, technical entrepreneurs, ecology, sustainability and urban theory for a better
understanding and theoretical framing of the individual project.
Workshops with professionals and with students of technical background to understand differences in language and concepts and
learn to apply the technical information to the spatial context.
Individual or group elaboration of the workshop results
Excursion
Assessment Deliverables
1)Research and analyses of technical data of your site resulting in a subsurface potential map.
2)Research and analyses of the surface of your site, resulting in a surface potential map.
3)Synthesis between 2 and 3 and together with 1 resulting in a (spatial)concept.

Summary During this course the maximization method is used in order to create a draft for a sustainable urban plan.
Course Contents This one to two weeks workshop forms part of a series of interdisciplinary electives in Sustainable Development. The central
theme is sustainable development, sustainable building and sustainable urban development. This subject can form part of the TU
graduation specialisation 'Technology in Sustainable Development' (TiSD), see www.tudelft.nl/tisd.
- is capable of effectively analysing and researching complex urban development situations in which divergent environmental
interests play a role;
- is capable of elaborating various solutions in urban planning and design for various environmental interests and weighing these
against alternatives;
- is capable of clearly presenting the outcome (oral presentation and report) of different phases of the method used;
- is capable of effectively contributing as a member of a group.
Education Method The environment maximisation method is one directed towards design, in which environmental themes set the structure for the
design. On the basis of the (self stated) brief for a neighbourhood (dwellings with facilities and infrastructure) and the available
location, a number of environmental themes are 'maximised' in a workshop; these include: Landscape and soil; Flora and fauna;
Water; Mobility; Energy.
An outline (in maps and sections) of the 'best structure for the environment' is provided on the basis of the environmental
constraints in question. These sketches are then examined to see which reinforce and which contradict one another; the various
maximisations are thus optimised. It is also discussed which topics should be regarded as primary and which as secondary; in
this way a number of variants is developed for the neighbourhood. These are used as the basis for preparing a design and for
maximisation at neighbourhood and block level, with which the workshop concludes.
The exercise is held in the form of a workshop during a concentrated period of one to two weeks. Time commitment (total): 3
ECTS = 84 course load hours (approx. 28 hours contact time, approx. 56 hours unguided group and self study time).

Course Contents Cities are alive! People move through the city to reach their work, school, go shopping or to enjoy culture, art, or other people.
But what environments accommodate the urban vitality we all crave for? What is the influence of urban design and architecture?
This course aims to provide an overview of vested theories and cutting edge research on people movement, urban vitality and
public space. This includes seminal works by Gehl, Whyte, Jacobs, Appleyard, Lynch and research work by Cullen, Smithsons
and Venturi & Scott Brown. The role of citizens and designers in shaping vibrant urban public space is explored through
readings, film and active discussions with students. This is certainly not your average dry theory course the course material will
come alive through active discussions and the direct application of theories in analyzing real urban settings.
- knows key literature and recent research on people, movement and public space
- understands main theories on people, movement and public space
- applies these theories in analysing real urban settings
- evaluates critically on these theories
- creates presentations analysing the subject on an academic level.
Education Method The course consists of lectures, in which active participation and discussions are greatly welcomed and reading the course
materials is absolutely required. These are not consumer classes! Great urbanists are critical thinkers questioning the course
material, the lecturer and the general state of urban theory is strongly encouraged.
Lectures are followed by smaller discussion groups* that challenge you to discuss and apply the theories covered in class in real
urban analyses. Small weekly homework assignments are covered in these discussion groups. Therefore, come prepared!
The class concludes with a final group project statement based on research, defining a design assignment, without elaborating the
design. This will be presented at the last day of class.
*the discussion groups ideally consists of four members, who divide topics and peer each other.

Course Contents This course gives the student the opportunity to conduct and participate in a concrete scientific research project in the field of
Transport, Infrastructures and Logistics (TIL). Students will experience what it is to perform socially, industrially, and/or
environmentally relevant TIL research within an academic setting.
A student will complete a 'mini' project dedicated to a scientific topic with all typical project stages including: problem
definition, definition of research questions, problem analysis, research set-up & time plan, working out of the research plan,
evaluating results and eventually coming to findings and recommendations. Literature research and, when appropriate, (small
scale) empirical research, model development, case study, and analysis will be part of the approach.
Writing a draft scientific paper as well as writing a process report are essential parts of this course. A scientific researcher (PhD,
researcher, professor) will supervise the student.
The mini projects either:

- relate to ongoing PhD research, research by a senior scientific
staff member: here, the student works only with the PhD or senior
scientific staff member active on the ongoing research project;
or
- fall within the scope of a coherent research program defined in
relation with external partners within the domain of Transport,
Infrastructure, and Logistics. In this case, the student will also
interact with other students working on related research questions
of the research programme and a program coordinator.
Study Goals To learn the basics of performing (applied) scientific research and associated activities like literature research, empirical or case
analysis, writing a scientific paper, and planning and managing such a project set-up.
Education Method The course consists of a (mini-)project. During a period of about three months (part time) students will participate closely with
scientific researchers and possibly other students in a research project.

Practical Guide Guidelines will be provided by the course coordinator and via BrightSpace.
Assessment The assessment is based on two products:
- process report, including a self-evaluation
- (concept) scientific (conference or journal) paper
The products will be reviewed and assessed by the scientific researcher and the course coordinator.
Both products need to be sufficient in order to pass the course.

Enrolment / Application This course can be started anytime by contacting the course coordinator.
Special Information The 'course' is to be seen as a working project; the project is formed in cooperation between student and supervisor, tuned to the
requirements and needs of the associated research project and tuned to the interests of the student. A proactive and curious
attitude of the student is expected.

student when starting the course.
Judgement The assessment is based on two products and the work process:
- process report, including a self-evaluation
- (concept) scientific (conference or journal) paper
The performance will be assessed on basis of the criteria: 'Focus and initiative', 'Method/Approach', 'Analysis', 'Argumentation',
'Reference list', 'Feedback process (including self-evaluation)', 'Inventiveness', 'English', 'Time (incl. timescheduling and updates
thereof)' and the 'General presentation'. These criterions have an equal weight. On basis of the criterion scores, the overall mark
is set.

Summary The final part of the study is an individual interdisciplinary master thesis project. It contains elements from at least two fields
offered by the faculties participating in the MSc-TIL programme.
This project may be carried out as an internal- or an external project (with a company, public or private institution) in the
Netherlands or abroad.
It takes half a year (30 EC).
The student is supervised by a supervising team (1 chairman and 2 daily supervisors). Its composition is according to Article 7
sub 3 of the Implementation Regulations.
The project shall lead to:
- A thesis report;
- An academic research paper of 8-12 pages. It is mandatory for students who started their thesis project on or after September 1,
2017. It presents the main results of your research project to others in an orderly, logical manner. It is more than a simple
summary, ask yourself: What does really stand out in your research?
A content list + examples are provided in the TIL Graduation Portal. Include it as an appendix in your thesis report.

Course Contents The TIL 5060 thesis project is described in detail in the Graduation Portal of the TIL MSc website:
2018-2019/graduation-portal-thesis-project/
*Use the vertical Process and Content tabs

Study Goals 1) Identify the research problem and the research gap. These follow from a literature study in combination with a preview of the
current state (problem-oriented) and potential ways to contribute to a solution of initially identified issues and problems (also
known as future state in design-oriented studies);
2) Make a motivated choice of and apply relevant theories and methods learned during your studies in your project;
3) Synthesise the results of the project in a concise and academic (critical) way and to prepare a set of relevant conclusions and
recommendations;
4) Reflect on the results, show how these compare to the state-of-the-art; discuss the pros and cons for society and for the
commissioner;
5) Independently plan and execute the research project;
6) Act in coachable manner. Use remarks and advice on your work to improve it;
7) Be communicative, on paper as well as in personal contacts with your supervisors;
8) Develop an open mind towards remarks and suggestions by supervisors;
9) Defend the results of your study in a satisfactory way during the final defense meeting.
Education Method The student plans, executes, reports and defends his or her thesis project independently, but supervised and supported by the
members of his or her thesis committee. This implies that the student is the primary process manager: he or she arranges all
meetings, distributes (draft) reports and other relevant material, such as minutes, (information about) datasets and tools, etc.
The student is the manager of the project. Both daily supervisors coach the student during the project. They meet on a regular
basis, according to the progress and needs of the student. The supervising professor sees to it that the final result fulfils the
academic requirements.
Four meetings are mandatory: a kick-off meeting, a mid-term meeting, a green-light meeting and the final thesis defence, which
consists of an open, public defence and a closed defence with the entire assessment committee.
The preparation of a thesis project starts several months before the kick-off meeting. In this period the student has to
- find a suitable and acceptable problem owner/commissioner and research topic;
- compose a supervising team (= assessment committee);
- write a project proposal that identifies the research gap and the contribution of the student to reduce this gap, respectively to
meet the needs of the external supervisor.
You can contact the TIL Graduation coordinators to discuss preparation (content and process).
Literature and Study Within the agreed scope of the thesis project, a student has certain degrees of freedom to collect and process relevant literature
Materials and data in order to execute a Master Thesis Project.
Any literature, data, methods, study material from BSc and MSc courses concerning the topic of the thesis could be applied.
The supervisors will give advice regarding the content and direction of the research. If they have strong arguments to change the
direction of the project or the way the student carries out the process, then the student must follow their advice.
Practical Guide See TIL Graduation portal:
2018-2019/graduation-portal-thesis-project/
Prerequisites See the Implementation Rules, Article 7, which includes the allowed exceptions. Contact the course coordinators if you are in
doubt how to fill in your TIL-2 form.
Assessment Your thesis project is assessed at regular moments. The following 4 meetings with the thesis assessment committee are
mandatory for each thesis project in order to guarantee the quality of each project.
*The formal start is the Kick-off meeting. Here the Kick-off document (= project proposal) is assessed. A key element in the
kick-off document is a description of the research gap in the field of your study. Your project is meant to reduce this gap with
scientific methods. A small literature review and a few weeks spent with the problem owner help to identify this research gap.
The practical relevance for a problem owner is a second order effect. Take care that you balance the aims of your
commmissioner and your TUD supervisors.
*The next milestone is your Mid-term Meeting. In a mid-term meeting the content and status of your project will be on the
Page 129 of 141

agenda. As a benchmark, you should have finished the analysis part of your work and have rewritten your initial problem
definition in terms of solutions. The meeting is used to discuss the solution space and next steps.
*The Green light meeting is very important. In principle, your project should be ready:
- Analysis and the design/solution space have been dealt with in a convincing way;
- The conclusions are ready as draft;
- Tools are verified, validated and a user manual is finished (where appropriate).
Work to be done: final conclusions, final summary, reflection, minor editing and language check, finish appendices, printing and
binding of hard copies.
*The Final Thesis Defense is the Grand Finale of your project.

The structure and length of the Final Thesis Defense meeting may differ per department and chair(wo)man. For details contact
the chair(wo)man of your Committee or his or her secretary.
You receive a grade for all the activities carried out during the project period. The assessment encompasses the following
learning outcomes:
A. Research quality;
B. Research competences;
C. Quality of final report;
D. Quality of oral presentation & defense.
A TIL5060 Assessment Rubric is used to assess the results from the thesis project in detail. For each learning outcome, the
student will receive sub-marks. At most one learning outcome (A - D) may receive a mark below 6.
The final mark is determined by the assessment committee and ultimately by its chair.
Special Information Confidentiality/non-disclosure agreement as part of a graduation/apprenticeship contract (to be avoided).
Students graduating at a company usually sign a contract with that company. In many cases this contract includes CA/NDA
clauses. Such contracts are bilateral agreements. Neither the TUD nor your supervisory team are contract partners, which means
that we are not allowed to co-sign. Even if we would, then our signatures would not have legal meaning.
CA/NDA restrict the publication of your work. Clauses can deal with protection of company data, documents and practices until
an obligation to hand-over authorship. The first are acceptable, but the last surely is not, because it violates your fundamental
legal rights as well as the academic freedom and progress of science.
In no way should the contract restrict your or our academic freedom as TUD supervisors.
Given these concerns, we are of the opinion that NDA/CA's should be avoided or at least be edited in order to arrange a proper
balance of interests. The confidentiality period should not be longer than 2 years.
Don't automatically sign any document, because of pressure or fear that you will loose the contract.
It is good practice to ask the Graduation coordinators to check the clauses of the contract and either remove or edit unacceptable
clauses. This helps in the subsequent contract negotiation with the company. Experience shows that there is usually some space
to negotiate, but it may delay the start of your project.
Confidentiality may influence your final report in several ways. You could decide to keep the full document, but not upload it to
the repository. Another option is to wipe-out confidential data and then upload the report to the repository.
In either case, your supervisors should be able to read and assess the full unedited final version of your thesis document.
A new situation arises in case of exceptional quality of your work, giving way to a future journal publication. This needs further
discussion with all parties involved.
Finally, a student is always the owner of his or her thesis report and any material used to write it, with the exception of data or
tools owned or licensed by the TUD or an external commissioner.
A neutral NDA form can be found in the TIL Gradudation Portal:

2018-2019/graduation-portal-thesis-project/3-proposal-writing/
Contact Always read the information in the Graduation portal of the TIL website first.
During preparation the Graduation coordinators may help you with your choices:
Dr. Jaap Vleugel CEG 4.27 - 015-27 86487 (appointments by email)
Dr.ir. John Baggen CEG 4.25 - 015-27 84813
During the project:

1 - The thesis supervisors;
2 - The (secretary of the) professor in charge;
3 - In case of serious delays or other issues due to the following:

- Coaching/matching problems with TUD supervisors
- Serious content issues (change of topic or scope, promised dataset not available on time))
- Insufficient coaching by (external) supervisors (non-response on request for meetings, no follow-up on agreements, not reading
documents, very general comments)
- Structural health issues or other private matters
- Serious problems with planning and structuring of your work due to dyslexia
you may also contact the Graduation coordinators or a student advisor-psychologist.
Put these issues on the table when they happen and after you tried to solve them yourself. Waiting does not solve serious
problems.
Expected prior Knowledge Start: Information from earlier BSc and MSc courses that fits with the scope, topic, research questions and methods to be used in
your thesis.
Defence: The thesis Assessment Committee usually restricts its questions to the content of your final thesis report. However,
sometimes there are arguments to relate your work to (generic) theories or methods from earlier courses. In other cases questions
about more general applications of your findings can be asked.
Academic Skills The thesis student
-has the ability to gather, integrate and interpret relevant base material (literature, datasets, interview results etc.) and translate
this into information and knowledge.
- understands the complexities in the TIL domain to reason about and reflect on possible social, scientific, policy and ethical
dimensions, implications and restrictions linked to the application of this data, information and knowledge.
- is able to form judgements, formulate conclusions and recommendations based on these academic activities;
- is able to reflect in an academic way on his or her own work, literature and specialists.
