Science in pictures To the point: Minimizing cost of empty container repositioning in port hinterlands, while taking repair operations into account "Shipping companies are striving to optimize their empty container repositioning strategies which also contribute to reduced congestion and environmental improvements. In this paper we propose a multi-commodity model that makes an explicit distinction between flows of non-damaged containers, on the one hand, and flows of damaged containers, on the other. The model is tailored for the repositioning ..." [More...] Minimizing cost of empty container repositioning in port hinterlands, while taking repair operations into account. T. Hjortnaes, B. Wiegmans, R.R. Negenborn, R.A. Zuidwijk, R. Klijnhout. Journal of Transport Geography, vol. 58, pp. 209-219, January 2017.    Multi-area predictive control for combined electricity and natural gas systems "The optimal operation of an integrated electricity and natural gas system is investigated. The couplings between these two systems are modeled by energy hubs, which serve as interface between the loads and the transmission infrastructures. Previously, we have applied a distributed control scheme to a static three-hub benchmark system. In this paper, we propose an extension of this distributed cont..." [More...] Multi-area predictive control for combined electricity and natural gas systems. M. Arnold, R.R. Negenborn, G.

Many ASV projects have been successfully realized, and as many are still under development. In literature there is a lack in research about different applications and suitable environments for the deployment of ASV. In our previous paper [44], we introduced the emerging concept of autonomous vessels. A multi-layer multi-..." [More...] Survey on autonomous surface vessels: Part II - Categorization of 60 prototypes and future applications. M. Schiaretti, L. Chen, R.R. Negenborn.

Inland corridors become increasingly interconnected in hinterland networks. To minimize operating costs, new methods are required that allow integral network operations management. The network operations consist of allocating containers to available inland transportation services, i.e. planning. Fo..." [More...] Impact and relevance of transit disturbances on planning in intermodal container networks. B. van Riessen, R.R. Negenborn, G. Lodewijks, R. Dekker.

The concept of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) has been put forward by the International Maritime Organization in 2017, in which MASS become the new focus of the waterborne transportation industry. This paper elaborates on the state-of-..." [More...] State-of-the-art research on motion control of maritime autonomous surface ships. L. Wang, Q. Wu, J. Liu, S. Li, R.R. Negenborn.
