Science in pictures To the point: Design and control of hybrid power and propulsion systems for smart ships: A review of developments "Power and propulsion of ships need to reduce fuel consumption and increase versatility. This paper classifies ship propulsion topologies into mechanical, electrical and hybrid propulsion, and power supply topologies into combustion, electrochemical, stored and hybrid power supply. We review opportunities and challenges of hybrid architectures and advanced control strategies that can reduce fuel c..." [More...] R.D. Geertsma, R.R. Negenborn, K. Visser, J.J. Hopman.

Open Access.    Synchromodal container transportation: an overview of current topics and research opportunities "Renewed attention has emerged for the topic of intermodal transportation. Since a couple of years, research has focused on the concept of synchromodality. Synchromodality refers to creating the most efficient and sustainable transportation plan for all orders in an entire network of different modes and routes, by using the available flexibility. In this paper we provide an overview of relevant res..." [More...] B. van Riessen, R.R. Negenborn, R. Dekker. Synchromodal container transportation: an overview of current topics and research opportunities. In Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Computational Logistics (ICCL'15), Delft, The Netherlands, pp. 386-397, September 2015.    Closed-loop coordination of inland vessels operations in large seaports using hybrid logic-based Benders decomposition "This paper addresses two coordination problems that exist in the waterborne transport in large seaports, the long time of stay of inland vessels and insufficient terminal and quay crane planning with respect to their sailing schedules. A novel coordination model is proposed and tackled using logic-based Benders decomposition and Large Neighborhood Search. In addition, a closed-loop perspective is ..." [More...] S. Li, R.R.

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...] M. Schiaretti, L. Chen, R.R. Negenborn.

This network is developed and operated by the seaports of EUROPE CONTAINER TERMINALS (ECT). To use this network cost-efficiently, a centralized planning of the container transportation is required, to be operated by the ..." [More...] B. van Riessen, R.R. Negenborn, R. Dekker, G. Lodewijks.
