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. Design and control of hybrid power and propulsion systems for smart ships: A review of developments. Applied Energy, vol. 194, pp. 30-54, 2017. Open Access.    Intermodal freight transport planning - A receding horizon control approach "This paper investigates intermodal freight transport planning problems among deep-sea terminals and inland terminals in hinterland haulage for a horizontally fully integrated intermodal freight transport operator at the tactical container flow level. An intermodal freight transport network (IFTN) model is first developed to capture the key characteristics of intermodal freight transport such as t..." [More...] L. Li, R.R. Negenborn, B.

Transportation Research Part C, vol. 60, pp. 77-95, 2015.    Service network design for an intermodal container network with flexible transit times and the possibility of using subcontracted transport "An intermodal container transportation network is being developed between Rotterdam and several inland terminals in North West Europe: the EUROPEAN GATEWAY SERVICES (EGS) network. 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.

International Journal of Shipping and Transport Logistics, vol. 7, no. 4, pp. 457-478, 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.

Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review, vol. 97, pp. 1-21, January 2017.    Distributed model predictive control -- An overview and roadmap of future research opportunities "This is a position article on the current state of the art in distributed Model Predictive Control (MPC) and our view on its future potential. We present results from a recent survey of 35 distributed MPC approaches. For this, we propose a way in which distributed MPC approaches can be categorized for comparison. We also link the potential that these approaches have to the domain of other fields s..." [More...] R.R. Negenborn, J.M. Maestre.
