Transport, Infrastructure and Logistics
Every day we take the bus, train or our cars and drive over interconnected systems of road infrastructure, rail- or tram networks. We go to shops and buy products that were produced, manufactured and distributed across all continents over all conceivable transport networks, over water, land or via the air. And even within large or small industrial complexes, again transport plays a fundamental role. Think of the automated baggage handling at international airports, fully automated production chains or automated container terminals at large harbors.
The master Transport, Infrastructure & Logistics is a master program that copes with all the aspects named above and more. And it does that on an inter-faculty level, which means that we take the best en most interesting parts of three master tracks, namely:
As Dispuut Verkeer, we focus on the quality of the master program and the courses. Each quarter the courses are evaluated through an evaluation lunch. During these lunches the content of the content, the lectures and the assignment and/or examination will be discussed. The evaluation lunches are mostly held in the first or second weak of the next quarter. All TIL students are invited to come!

Online evaluation form - If you have any comments on a course, a part of a course or even multiple courses, please fill in the form. State clear comments, and maybe even suggestions. Your input is essential.
Doing/Did an Internship or working on your Thesis?
We would like to create a database that would be accessible to all members, which would contain details of students working on their internships and/or theses. The objective is to assist students with any questions they have regarding a company or a topic that someone has already worked on before. This could also be useful to reach you for career events. This would, no doubt, be of immense help to all students by creating a shared supportive community.
Therefore, we need your help to make this a success. If you are doing an internship or working on a thesis (or have decided or done either of those), please take time to fill this short form by clicking on the following link:
Form Link: https://goo.gl/forms/SDbCxB5hlYqIOk2X2
[Estimated completion time: 150 seconds]
If you start your internship/thesis later, please remember to fill this form.
We look forward to receiving your input! Very soon, we will be able to share it with all of you!

Master ThesisModelling travel behaviour in case of decommissioning of train services
Introduction Train travellers are regularly confronted with decommissioning of train services because of rail track renovations. Challenge for NS is to provide alternative transport services by train or by bus. Transport models can be used to assess such alternatives and proper modelling of travel behaviour is then essential. However, in case of decommissioning of train services train travellers will behave differently than in regular conditions. Key questions are thus how do traveller behave in such situations and how can that be modelled considering the modelling tools used by NS? Expected results of this MSc-thesis project are: - Insights on travel behaviour in case of decommissioning of train services - Modelling methodology for assessing strategies for alternative transport services in such situations - Recommendations for data collection to improve the quality of the models NS This research will be performed at NS Reizigers in Utrecht. Please contact Adam Pel (T&P) or Mats Verschuren (NS) for more information: A.J.Pel@TUDelft.nlThis research will be performed at NS Reizigers in Utrecht. Please contact Adam Pel (T&P) or Mats Verschuren (NS) for more information: A.J.Pel@TUDelft.nl and Mats.Verschuren@NS.nl N.B. This thesis-project requires fluency in Dutch | ||

Master ThesisOpportunity for TIL and T&P (Unfortunately for Dutch speakers only)
IVanuit het programma Beter benutten bij het Ministerie van Infrastructuur en Milieu is Rijkswaterstaat op zoek naar een enthousiaste stagiair/afstudeerder voor een opdracht in samenwerking met Ecorys. De opdracht omvat in ieder geval het analyseren van zo’n 150 maatregelen die genomen zijn met als doel het reisgedrag van reizigers te beïnvloeden, om daardoor de bestaande infrastructuur beter te benutten (bijvoorbeeld fietsroutes, OV passen, logistieke maatregelen, incident management, etc.). Voor een aanzienlijk deel van deze maatregelen zijn evaluatierapporten beschikbaar, die door jou kritisch door het licht gehouden worden, om een uitspraak te kunnen doen over de behaalde effecten van de maatregelen van het programma Beter Benutten. De opdracht zal uitgevoerd worden bij Ecorys in Rotterdam. Over de precieze invulling en het formuleren van een uitdagende onderzoeksvraag gaan Rijkswaterstaat en Ecorys graag in gesprek met jou! Geïnteresseerd en wil je meer weten? Onderstaand bestand bevat een uitgebreidere beschrijving! | ||

Master ThesisWillingness to share personal road use dataOpportunity for TIL students
In this project road users’ preferences with respect to sharing their privacy sensitive data about their road use will be explored, as well as how such a system can be implemented so road-authorities are able to obtain these desired data. This involves, among others, exploring the costs of different implementations of this data-market system and comparing these to the costs of the traditional system based on road detectors. Attached you can find the full project description Interested? Contact Paul van Erp, PhD. Candidate at Civil Engineering, for more information: P.B.C.vanErp@tudelft.nl, tel.: 015 27 84912 | ||

Master ThesisRoyal HaskoningDHVOmschrijving gewenste onderzoek: implementatie van Smart Mobility in Nederland
Ben je afstudeerder bij de faculteit TB&M, ligt je belangstelling bij het vakgebied Mobiliteit en zou je willen afstuderen bij de afdeling Transport van het internationale adviesbureau Royal HaskoningDHV? Dan hebben wij voor jou het volgende interessante afstudeeronderzoek voor jou klaar liggen. De afdeling Transport van Royal HaskoningDHV is op zoek naar een gemotiveerde student met een onderzoekende geest die wil afstuderen op het onderwerp “De implementatie van Smart Mobility in Nederland”. De huidige situatie bij de verschillende nederlandse wegbeheerders (Rijkswaterstaat, Provincies en grote steden) is dat er veel ambities zijn om Nederland koploper te laten zijn op gebied van Smart Mobility. De verschillende overheden zijn nog er zoekende en kiezen verschillende implementatie routes met een verschillende effectiviteit in de realisatie van Smart Mobility. Wij willen graag dat er onderzoek gedaan wordt naar de verschillende manieren waarop de implementatie nu wordt opgepakt. Zowel organisatorisch als inhoudelijk. Onderdeel van het onderzoek kan zijn een vergelijking van de aanpak (en resultaat) met een aantal landen, streden of regio’s die de implementatie succesvol hebben opgepakt. Dit vraagstuk heeft dus een bedrijfskundige en technisch/inhoudelijke component. Enkele onderdelen van het onderzoek zullen bestaan uit:
Ben je geïnteresseerd in dit onderwerp, voldoe je aan het profiel en kun je na de zomer starten neem dan contact op met: Pieter Prins (pieter.prins@rhdhv.com). Also, for more information feel free to contact Dr Jan Anne Annema directly: AJ.A.Annema@tudelft.nl |
