If one wants to design and understand Transportation systems, one needs to understand the behaviour of people using these
systems. If one wants to design and understand Transport policies, one needs to understand how people respond to these policies.
In other words: some of the biggest questions in our field cannot be answered without a clear and quantitative understanding of
traveller behaviour. This course sets out to provide students with in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience with three
statistical methods that have proved very effective in gaining such an understanding of traveller behaviour.
Importantly, this course takes a quantitative, statistical perspective on travel behaviour. Methods taught can be used to
quantitatively analyse and forecast aggregate level phenomena such as market shares for, and economic benefits of, new public
transport services, or the aggregate effects of sustainability-oriented transport polices based on sound individual-level theories,
supported by appropriate datasets and cutting edge statistical methods.
Learning goals: Students will acquire and in-depth knowledge concerning the three below mentioned methods, as well as the
skills to use these methods themselves. Finally, they will acquire an understanding of the usefulness and limitations of these
methods within a Transportation context, and an understanding of how the three methods can potentially be used in combination.
-Choice behaviour modelling methods (Chorus)
oRandom Utility Maximization & the Multinomial Logit model
oMixed Logit models

In this course we will introduce and overview a large part of the TIL field. The course consists of three parts:
Part 1 (3EC) starts in Q1 gives you a number of skills, tools and insights that you can use throughout the curriculum:
(a) In the first week we will bring you up to speed (or at least motivate you) with some generic skills we expect from any TU
Delft Msc student: scientific thinking and reasoning; asking valid (research) questions and problem solving / programming.
(b) a set of reference models, viewpoints, concepts and ideas with which you can analyse TIL systems: you get a taste of the four
specializations of the TIL curriculum: P (policy), D (design), E (engineering) and O (operations). You'll see that in reality (that
is, in large TIL projects), there is no P without D, E without O, or any other combination you can think of. You cannot design
transport networks without considering operations (e.g. management), or the policy context, or the consequences for logistic
chains. Transport, by its very nature is a multi- and in many cases an interdisciplinary field.
Part 3 (3EC) focuses on two things. With the Delft Systems Approach you will learn how to decompose and model a complex
system into components and dynamic processes. Although DSS focuses on modeling of (closed) industrial systems, the
underlying concepts are generic and applicable to any open or closed transport system. The second component of part 3 focuses
on system design tools particularly for open TIL systems.
Study Goals
Part 2 (3EC) is a "mini" interdisciplinary project, in which you work in a mixed team of fellow student on a TIL topic of your
own choice. 1 EC you do in Q1, and the remaining 2EC in Q2. You are expected to utilize some of the tools you are offered in
Parts 1 and 3, but most of all to use your creativity, and to demonstrate scientific rigor in your reasoning and your assumptions.
(a) The student has knowledge/insight in the different disciplines active within the TIL domain, i.e. the student
... has knowledge/insight about the terminologies used in these different disciplines (i.e. recall them and explain what they mean)
... has knowledge about the interactions between disciplines
(b) The student has knowledge/insight about different reference models used in these disciplines (i.e. recall them and list their
properties/characteristics)
(c) The student must be able to apply these reference models on a particular TIL problem / system; e.g. to break down a TIL
system in a transport and traffic market (TRAIL model) or to decompose an (industrial) transport system into processes and
components (Delft Systems Aproach)
(d) The student is able to use these reference models and their outcomes
... to evaluate TIL systems;
... to synthesize the outcomes of such evaluations and
... to design solutions that resolve the synthesized problems or that serve the synthesized requirements
(e) The student is able to explain and apply a selection of specific techniques / methods in the TIL domain (e.g. deterministic
queuing models, cost-benefit analysis techniques)
(f) The student is able to structure, plan and execute an interdisciplinary design or research project

During this course the maximization method is used in order to create a draft for a sustainable urban plan.
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' (TiDO), see www.tudelft.nl/tisd.
The student:
- is capable of effectively analysing 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.
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 (approximately 1000 dwellings with facilities) 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; Waste.
An outline 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): 56
course load hours (approx. 18 hours contact time, approx. 38 hours individual study).

Assessment is based on two presentations and the end-products. The final result is a draft design for a district, neighbourhood
and/or block with oral presentation and written commentary, capable of being understood without further explanation.

CIE 4801 Transportation and spatial modelling (preferable)
CIE 5802 Advanced Transportation Modelling (preferable)
CIE 5750 Transport and Spatial Planning for Urbanized Regions relates to the interaction between transport networks and spatial
patterns in urbanized regions. The main focus is on the role of transport systems in interacting with spatial development and
governance strategies. It aims to enable students to analyse and assess the transport system, the spatial structure, the governance
in urbanized regions and their mutual relationships, and to use these insights in designing and assessing transport and spatial
strategies for urbanized regions. The course focuses on explaining the dynamic complexity of urban systems and provides
methodologies for translating that complexity such as system dynamics and agent-based models. These models should be used to
support the planning of urbanized regions in the form of policies and measures. The course stays on an intermediate level
between the design of cities and its strategic planning building a bridge between both.
The lectures focus on:
Historical development of conurbations
Methodologies for analyzing and assessing urbanized areas (terminology, functional differentiation, spatial levels and network
levels, assessment criteria)
Role of transport networks: mobility and accessibility
Transportation planning methods
Dynamic complexity between land use and transportation
History of the Land Use and Transportation (LUT) models
Systems Dynamics approach to model dynamic complexity
Agent-Based modelling (ABM) as a general approach for modeling dynamic complexity
LUT models using ABM.

relationships and to determine the influence of governance policies
(2) be able to apply this framework for analyzing and assessing large agglomerations and metropolises
(3) be able to design and assess coherent transport and spatial strategies for urbanized regions
(4) explain dynamic complexity
(5) explain the complex relationship between land use and transportation in urbanized areas
(6) explain what is an agent-based simulation model
(7) be able to propose an agent-based model for land use and transportation systems and how to use it for supporting spatial and
transport planning decisions for urban areas
Lectures
In the end of the lectures a software is used that students run in their computers
All lectures of this course are taught with a PowerPoint presentation which is the main learning source for the course.
Reference to further readings can be found at the last slide of each lecture which the student can resort to if he/she wants to
understand better each topic.
Final Exam
Group Project Report
Via Blackboard CIE5750
This course provides a series of skills that will be developed through the assignment ans the topics that thought in classes. They
will be learning how to systematically observe reality, interpret, and compare different situations. Through observing other
assignments they should be able to discuss, argue and debate several approaches for the same problem. By analyzing the
influence of urbanized areas in our lives they should become aware of the responsibility inherent to good planning and
management.

This course deals with the structure and development of the concept of safety and risk control based on the Design Control and
Practice (DCP) diagram with respect to railway and aerospace systems. The course presents a systematic approach towards
safety in different modes of transportation (focusing on rail), integrated in traffic design and management. The focus is on the
role of humans in causing safety related problems and in controlling them. The course provides methods for analysis of safety
problems and tools to prevent and control safety in transportation systems. Keywords: Safety (design) principles & approaches,
human factors & traffic control, research methodology
The course deals with the structure and development of the notions of safety and risk management by focusing on:
Practice, with a focus on the historical development, perception and acceptance of safety and risk in railway and aerospace
domains;
Control, focusing on various strategies available in dealing with risk at the level of governance and administration;
Technology, focusing on the way safety and risk have been involved objectively and subjectively in developing technological
projects and applications;
A micro systems level, dealing with accident analysis, the complexity of problem modelling, multiple causality and explanatory
theories for failure at the operator level;
A meso systems level, in developing scenarios and applications of quantitative risk analysis;
A macro systems level, focusing on procedural approaches in dealing with and deciding on risk by Safety Impact Assessment
procedures, Safety Cases and Critical Size Events regarding rescue and emergency resource allocation
Rescue and emergency management and disaster control in the light of national and international perspectives such as EU
Directives and international NGOs.
system description of different transport modes using safety models

Basic knowledge of evaluation methods like cost-benefit analysis and multi criteria techniques is necessary. Students who lack
knowledge in this respect should join a group with the necessary know how. Moreover, additional information will be provided
on blackboard.
This course focusses on the evaluation of transport policies by looking at its impacts and public/political support. Since policy
making in the field of traffic and transport is complex, the quality could be improved by policy advice in which, on the one hand,
problems are scientificly analysed and alternatives evaluated and, on the other hand, public/political support for implementation
is assessed.
The policy cycle i.e. problem formulation, designing, implementing and evaluating policies, provides the framework for
Transport Policy. It is important to distinguish between the output of a policy (e.g. more competition in public transport) which
is a means to an end, and the outcome (more people should use public transport) which is of interest for politicians. Ex ante
evaluation forecasts the anticipated impacts of policies whereas ex post evaluation monitors and assesses the concrete effects.
The course is method-based and assignments show the use of results in policy making.
The aims of the course:
- to increase the knowledge of ex ante/ex post evaluation methods
- to understand the reasons behind transport policies
- to develop skills to assess the political relevance of the outcomes of research
Lectures (2 hours a week), self education and assignments (obligatory)

The policy cycle is in this integration course roughly the guideline in planning and designing transport infrastructure. The
various phases in the cycle deal with concepts, approaches, methods etc., being used in structuring and supporting design and
decision-making with regard to infrastructure. During the entire course attention is paid to a 'running case': possibilities for a
sustainable development of the main transport infrastructure in (part of) the European Union: the Trans-European Transport
Networks new style. Especially large-scale infrastructure is involved, for which above all up to date and very extensive projects
such as the construction of high-speed railway lines, tunnels below the Alps, expansion of large airports like London Heathrow
or Amsterdam Schiphol, or simply the joining of new member states, play an important role.
Without exception, here it concerns complex physical planning problems with design aspects of (inter)national nodes,
connections and networks. Moreover, the projects mentioned are mostly at odds with the environmental management and often
we have also to deal with competitive claims as to space. This integration course aims at contributing to the development of an
integrated infrastructure policy regarding the policy fields traffic and transport, physical planning, regional economy and
environment in the form of an interdisciplinary policy advice. The course aims at achieving a synergy between substantive
technical knowledge and policy making knowledge.
A number of phases are indentified:
phase 1 problem formulation: specification
phase 2 generating alternatives: designing
phase 3 assessment: evaluating policies
phase 4 implementation: planning
Increase the perception of planning and designing of large scale infrastructure problems and gain skills to create effective and
efficient solutions.
Planning and design of multi-modal infrastructure networks will be instructed group wise. For each phase in the above
mentioned (policy)cycle one or two weeks will be planned. Each phase will be introduced with a brief explanation followed by
an assignment that can be developed in groups of students. Every week the findings will be discussed in the groups: 30 minutes
will than be scheduled for that purpose. Appointments will be made during the first lecture. If needed, plenary lectures can be
arranged. The results of each of the assignments are one chapter of the research report, i.c. the advice.
Study materials on Blackboard, handouts and literature SPM4630/31 Transport Policy
The final mark is determined on the basis of the evaluation of the research report to be handed in at the end of the course.
Evaluation criteria are:
Special Information
structure of the report

presentation (proper use of language, literature, figures, tables, maps)
originality (quality of conclusions and recommendations)
systematic justification of choices and proper use of methods, modelling
This practical course can be done after the theoretical course SPM4630/31 Transport Policy has been completed.

Each team of two or three students working together on an assignment jointly delivers one report. Your report is graded, and
needs to be 6.0 or higher in order to pass the course.
You must have followed CIE4801 before taking part in CIE5802.
(Note that CIE5802 starts in Q2 when the exam results from CIE4801 - that is given in Q1 - may not be available yet. Therefore,
the 'prior knowledge requirement' is that you have followed CIE4801 and not necessarily that you have passed CIE4801.)

This course overviews innovations in dynamic (network) traffic management, and particularly in the application of integrated
and coordinated traffic management in networks. How we can we control and manage the operations in traffic networks to
mitigate the large economical and environmental problems that result from congestion and gridlock?
The course focuses on 4 subjects and will provide many examples and cases to explain these:
(A) Understanding Traffic Network dynamics
- Recap of everything you should know (CIE4801/CIE4821)
- Network dynamics I (from efficient self-organisation to gridlock): phenomena and underlying causes
- Network dynamics II: traffic management solution directions
(B) (Traffic) control basics and approaches
- Qualitative basics: control loops and components; openloop vs feedback; state, measurements and control variables; control
notions (stability, observability)
- Classification & characteristics of control approaches along three dimensions: reactive/proactive, input/param adaptation, and
open-loop vs feedback
- Corresponding tools and methods (state estimation / prediction / control optimization)
(C) From policy to deployment: designing network management strategies
- The GGB+ approach (basis for network management design)
- Integrated network management (INM) principles

(D) Proof of the pudding: ex post and ex ante evaluation

- Evaluation setup: plan-do-check-act
- Traffic (simulation) model validity
The goal of the course is to learn why and how traffic management is conditional to the efficient operations of traffic in networks
and to apply this knowledge in the design and evaluation of an integrated network management plan for a concrete traffic
network. Specifically:
- Students learn the dynamics of network traffic operations (network fundamental diagram) and their underlying causes
(spillback, capacity drop, user optimal routing)
- Students learn the basic solution directions of traffic management and learn to classify traffic control measures along these
directions
- Students learn how to view traffic management as a control process and become familiar with the basic terminology of control
theory.
- Students learn to identify and classify traffic control approaches along a few other dimensions (proactivity, adaptivity) and
understand the pros and cons of these different classes of approaches
- Students become familiar with the ingredients and workings of advanced traffic management: monitoring, state estimation and
prediction and optimization of control algorithms and learn to apply these through concrete examples
- Students learn how to design an integrated network management plan for a concrete case
- Students learn the basic principles of evaluating traffic management measures both ex ante and ex post through an integrated

In this course students will get familiar with automatic control techniques and their benefits and applications for control of
different kinds of large-scale transport infrastructures. Theoretical concepts will be discussed on the one hand (in particular
related to model predictive control), while finding out how these concepts could be applied in practice on the other. Example
applications will come from the domain of large-scale transport infrastructures (road networks, water networks, electricity
networks, intermodal transport networks).
* To list the main components of 4 large-scale transport infrastructures and trends in society that affect the operation of these
infrastructures.
* To explain how automatic control could be used to improve the operation of large-scale infrastructures.
* To explain the system and control cycle.
* To discuss the differences between centralized/single-agent and distributed/multi-agent control.
* To discuss the differences between single-level and multi-level control.
* To design a control structure for a large-scale transport infrastructure using model predictive control.
During lectures study material will be discussed and new concepts will be explained and familiarized with. In an integrating
project small groups will develop deeper understanding of the introduced concepts.
Prior knowledge of automation of transport systems, quantitative methods in logistics (optimization) and simulation is
recommended.
We will discuss chapters from the book "Intelligent Infrastructures", Negenborn et al., Springer, Dordrecht, The Netherlands,
2010. ISBN: 978-90-481-3597-4.
Additional handouts and references to relevant media and literature will also be provided.
Assessment will be based on the written report and oral presentation and defense of the group project.

basic knowledge of a programming language, preferably 'Delphi' or 'Lazarus'
Modelling, discrete simulation, process-interaction method, logistics, production, transport, control, practical
This is a course on the modeling of discrete systems for transport and production. It deals with a method to quickly design
flexible prototype models and to implement them in a simulation environment. The method is based on the systems approach in
combination with process-interaction modeling. Special attention is paid to the modeling of operational control and the use of
these models for real-time control. A number of practical examples, including a production process, a transport system and a port
will be considered.
During the course a number of individual assignments will be given to be answered via blackboard. Halfway the course, groups
of 4 students are formed. Each group has to design(on paper) a process-interaction model of a realistic case including the model
goal, performance indicators, input, output and an experimental design, resulting in a short report.
Those who have attained a satisfactory result for both the individual work and the group model design will be admitted to the
second part of the course. This takes the form of a practical. The model developed in the first part has to be implemented and
applied in a simulation environment based on Delphi and Tomas (see http://www.delphibasics.co.uk/ and www.tomasweb.com.
(Beta version of Tomas in Lazarus is expected to be available in the course of 2011, see http://mirrors.iwi.me/lazarus/ )
The results: process-interaction model design, implementation, experiments and final report will be graded.
Study Goals

This module builds on the content and knowledge gained during courses like operations management, logistics management or
equivalent courses. Please consult the module manager during the first lecture if such courses where not taken for advise to read
additional material for your convenience.
Supply Chain Management (SCM) includes all activities related to products and information traveling to and between companies
in a supply chain chain to accommodate certain demand. SCM makes an important and often essential contribution to the
competitive strength of industrial trading and distribution companies. The supply chain management function tries to coordinates and controls operational business functions in their relationship that of other companies. To a large extent it determines
the flexibility and constraints of a company in relation to the market it serves. Logistical decision-making frequently relates to
situations in which conflicting wishes and desires from various parts of the organization have to be brought together cohesively.
Supply chain decision making tries to do this in collaboration with several companies that are part of a supply chain. Gaining
insight into the performance indicators of a company's supply chain, its supply chain costs, customer expectations and the
opportunities to improve these aspects is of vital importance in the overall function of the supply chain composed out off a wide
range of companies. All engineers will encounter logistics and supply chain management to a greater or lesser extent in the
business environment in which they will be working or in which they will be carrying out their assignments.
This course covers the SCM function in and between companies. This course will give the student insight in the theoretical
background of supply chain analysis, engineering and management. In general the student learns and puts into practice the basic
theoretical skills of a supply chain analyst, manager and/or engineer. The theoretical knowledge will be explained and exercised
by practical business cases.
After the course the student is able to: (1) position supply chain management in the broader perspective of the functioning of
enterprises; (2) formulate, comment and judge the criteria and constraints of how companies can develop and maintain their
position as an adequate supply chain member; (3) structure, analyze and develop skills to find improvements of the strategic
position of enterprises by the use of reference models, and other modelling techniques (4) design and develop supply chain
frameworks to facilitate the analyses of supply chains (5) have a detailed insight into the difference and commonalities between
supply chain of consumables and durables (6) develop a analysis approach to guide supply chain design changes, in particular
alliances (7) understand the supply chain as a fulfillment structures for collaborating companies for new business ventures to
cope with problems and opportunities. (8) suggested and develop supply chain (re)design directions for the future of the
companies in a supply chain.
The following topics will be discussed during the lectures:
The significance of their logistics system in and between companies from a business perspective;
Methods that can be used to analyze logistics systems;
Inbound logistics (including acquisition, procurement and purchasing), production logistics and outbound logistics (including
customer service and customer relationship management);
The role of inventory and inventory hold points and the related facilities required in the logistics systems within the supply
chain;

Discrete Element Method simulation (ME1412)
This course focuses on the characterisation of the mechanical and dynamical behaviour of bulk solid materials. Bulk solid
materials include coal, sand, limestone etc. 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. Experimental ways to determine the mechanical properties
of bulk solid materials will be discussed.
An experimental assignment to determine these properties of a particular bulk solid material is part of the course in the first
period. With the experimentally determined properties the behaviour of this material in a silo (no flow or mass flow versus
funnel flow) will be predicted.
Knowing the properties of a specific bulk solid material, the effect of these properties on the design of handling or transporting
equipment can be determined. This includes also the influence from and on the environment of bulk handling systems.
Conceptually designing a piece of equipment for storing, handling or transporting a bulk solid material, of which the mechanical
properties are determined experimentally earlier in this course, is also part of this course.
Study Goals
State-of-the-art particle based simulation with Discrete Element Method (DEM) will be introduced. The parameters, algorithms,

MSc students who aim for an Annotation Rail
This course provides a fundamental understanding of railway operations and control. The focus is on the interaction of the
various systems elements (actors, trains, tracks, signalling, etc.) and the fundamentals of railway safety and signalling, which
have a major impact on the design and performance of railway operations. Railway operations depend heavily on the integration
of various technical and organizational systems with constraints and objectives largely influenced by policy and (safety)
legislation. A rail sector value chain is applied to analyse the various system elements and the choices that could be made for
their coordination at various time horizons and their overall consistency from planning to operation. Safety is the main factor that
shaped railway operations from the beginning and a good understanding of the railway safety principles is required to design
safe, efficient and reliable railway operations. Starting from these principles, the course provides a fundament to design and
analyse safety and signalling systems, including train detection, safe communication, train separation (block systems), automatic
train protection, route control and interlocking systems, and the control of level crossings. The characteristics and performance
of various train protection and cab signalling systems are analysed, including the European Train Control System (ETCS),
Positive Train Control (PTC) and Communication Based Train Control (CBTC).
After successfully completing the course, a student is able to
Explain the fundamentals of railway operations.
Carry out a railway value chain analysis
Describe policy and regulations of railways
Understand railway safety principles and fail-safe design
Describe the history of signalling for metro and heavy rail
Understand train detection and safe railway communication

CIE 5750 Transport and Spatial Planning for Urbanized Regions relates to the interaction between transport networks and spatial
patterns in urbanized regions. The main focus is on the role of transport systems in interacting with spatial development and
governance strategies. It aims to enable students to analyse and assess the transport system, the spatial structure, the governance
in urbanized regions and their mutual relationships, and to use these insights in designing and assessing transport and spatial
strategies for urbanized regions. The course focuses on explaining the dynamic complexity of urban systems and provides
methodologies for translating that complexity such as system dynamics and agent-based models. These models should be used to
support the planning of urbanized regions in the form of policies and measures. The course stays on an intermediate level
between the design of cities and its strategic planning building a bridge between both.
The lectures focus on:
Historical development of conurbations
Methodologies for analyzing and assessing urbanized areas (terminology, functional differentiation, spatial levels and network
levels, assessment criteria)
Role of transport networks: mobility and accessibility
Transportation planning methods
Dynamic complexity between land use and transportation
History of the Land Use and Transportation (LUT) models
Systems Dynamics approach to model dynamic complexity
Agent-Based modelling (ABM) as a general approach for modeling dynamic complexity
LUT models using ABM.

This course overviews innovations in dynamic (network) traffic management, and particularly in the application of integrated
and coordinated traffic management in networks. How we can we control and manage the operations in traffic networks to
mitigate the large economical and environmental problems that result from congestion and gridlock?
The course focuses on 4 subjects and will provide many examples and cases to explain these:
(A) Understanding Traffic Network dynamics
- Recap of everything you should know (CIE4801/CIE4821)
- Network dynamics I (from efficient self-organisation to gridlock): phenomena and underlying causes
- Network dynamics II: traffic management solution directions
(B) (Traffic) control basics and approaches
- Qualitative basics: control loops and components; openloop vs feedback; state, measurements and control variables; control
notions (stability, observability)
- Classification & characteristics of control approaches along three dimensions: reactive/proactive, input/param adaptation, and
open-loop vs feedback
- Corresponding tools and methods (state estimation / prediction / control optimization)
(C) From policy to deployment: designing network management strategies
- The GGB+ approach (basis for network management design)
- Integrated network management (INM) principles

(D) Proof of the pudding: ex post and ex ante evaluation

- Evaluation setup: plan-do-check-act
- Traffic (simulation) model validity
The goal of the course is to learn why and how traffic management is conditional to the efficient operations of traffic in networks
and to apply this knowledge in the design and evaluation of an integrated network management plan for a concrete traffic
network. Specifically:
- Students learn the dynamics of network traffic operations (network fundamental diagram) and their underlying causes
(spillback, capacity drop, user optimal routing)
- Students learn the basic solution directions of traffic management and learn to classify traffic control measures along these
directions
- Students learn how to view traffic management as a control process and become familiar with the basic terminology of control
theory.
- Students learn to identify and classify traffic control approaches along a few other dimensions (proactivity, adaptivity) and
understand the pros and cons of these different classes of approaches
- Students become familiar with the ingredients and workings of advanced traffic management: monitoring, state estimation and
prediction and optimization of control algorithms and learn to apply these through concrete examples
- Students learn how to design an integrated network management plan for a concrete case
- Students learn the basic principles of evaluating traffic management measures both ex ante and ex post through an integrated

This course deals with the structure and development of the concept of safety and risk control based on the Design Control and
Practice (DCP) diagram with respect to railway and aerospace systems. The course presents a systematic approach towards
safety in different modes of transportation (focusing on rail), integrated in traffic design and management. The focus is on the
role of humans in causing safety related problems and in controlling them. The course provides methods for analysis of safety
problems and tools to prevent and control safety in transportation systems. Keywords: Safety (design) principles & approaches,
human factors & traffic control, research methodology
The course deals with the structure and development of the notions of safety and risk management by focusing on:
Practice, with a focus on the historical development, perception and acceptance of safety and risk in railway and aerospace
domains;

SPM4132 Designing Multi-actor Systems from an Actor Perspective
Domain specific profile electives (for example spm9228 or spm6101)
Complex technological projects show a:
- Technological complexity: advanced technologies are applied with many technological interdependencies. This offers a
situation where technology is dynamic and many uncertainties exist.;
- Social complexity: many different actors are involved with diverging interests and capacities.
The focus is on managing this type of projects. Attention is given to the role of planning, budgeting and design, steering in a
situation of asymmetric information and external legitimating. A distinction is made between two management types:

Materials
-Project management (Rob Stikkelman)

-Process management (Wijnand Veeneman).
The course is split up into three parts, first introducing the role of project management in large engineering projects, second
reintroducing process management and its role in these projects, and finally a focus on the integration of both perspectives.
See Blackboard
Integration of traditional project management and process management is used as a basis for the analysis of complex
technological projects and formulate recommendations for their management. Students are put in situations where they can
acquire and apply skills. The objective is to let students understand how the application of project management and process
management can support project goals. The analytical part focuses on understanding the pros and cons of both approaches
and understand how they can be combined intelligently. The skills part focuses on the applying the acquired understanding in the
simulated complex technological projects. The focus here is on Learning-by- doing.
A variety of forms is used: lectures, assignments, and simulation games. Also the examination focuses on the application of
knowledge acquired during the course, using a short case description.
Learning goals are:
Recognize complex technological projects.
Apply project management in complex technological projects.
Apply process management in complex technological projects.
Explain the applicability of project management and process management tools for given cases.
Appraise project situations for management interventions
Select and combine appropriate responses from project management and process management.
The course tries to combine analysis with experience. This means the course makes ample use of alternative forms of meetings,
including assignments, simulation games, and workshops. These can be scheduled on different hours than the standard lecture
hours. A full program is available at the opening lecture.
The assignments are handed out and discussed during the lectures and available on Blackboard. As the course makes ample use
of alternatives form of lectures, dates and times of meetings can change. As Blackboard is the basis for communication,
enrolment in Blackboard is requested.

Runway extension, construction of works in protected areas, subsidizing sustainable projects... they all happen within a design
space, limited amongst others by legal rules and requirements. To make optimal use of the design space, you have to know about
these rules and requirements. When does a contract have to be tendered out, what rules are then applicable, what can be
subsidized and what are the restrictions, how to comply with air quality requirements and can a frog really block a project? What
alternative designs can be given in order to avoid legal problems? These and other problems will be adressed in this course.
At the end of the course the student will be able to:
read and understand legal documents
point out relevant legal aspects when designing or assessing a project
carry out a basic check on the compatibility of a project with relevant law
give an alternative design of a project in order to overcome legal problems
The course will consist of lectures on theoretical notions of European law and lectures on the application of these notions to
projects. Active participation of the students is required.

This module builds on the content and knowledge gained during courses like operations management, logistics management or
equivalent courses. Please consult the module manager during the first lecture if such courses where not taken for advise to read
additional material for your convenience.
Supply Chain Management (SCM) includes all activities related to products and information traveling to and between companies
in a supply chain chain to accommodate certain demand. SCM makes an important and often essential contribution to the
competitive strength of industrial trading and distribution companies. The supply chain management function tries to coordinates and controls operational business functions in their relationship that of other companies. To a large extent it determines
the flexibility and constraints of a company in relation to the market it serves. Logistical decision-making frequently relates to
situations in which conflicting wishes and desires from various parts of the organization have to be brought together cohesively.
Supply chain decision making tries to do this in collaboration with several companies that are part of a supply chain. Gaining
insight into the performance indicators of a company's supply chain, its supply chain costs, customer expectations and the
opportunities to improve these aspects is of vital importance in the overall function of the supply chain composed out off a wide
range of companies. All engineers will encounter logistics and supply chain management to a greater or lesser extent in the
business environment in which they will be working or in which they will be carrying out their assignments.
This course covers the SCM function in and between companies. This course will give the student insight in the theoretical
background of supply chain analysis, engineering and management. In general the student learns and puts into practice the basic
theoretical skills of a supply chain analyst, manager and/or engineer. The theoretical knowledge will be explained and exercised
by practical business cases.
After the course the student is able to: (1) position supply chain management in the broader perspective of the functioning of
enterprises; (2) formulate, comment and judge the criteria and constraints of how companies can develop and maintain their
position as an adequate supply chain member; (3) structure, analyze and develop skills to find improvements of the strategic
position of enterprises by the use of reference models, and other modelling techniques (4) design and develop supply chain
frameworks to facilitate the analyses of supply chains (5) have a detailed insight into the difference and commonalities between
supply chain of consumables and durables (6) develop a analysis approach to guide supply chain design changes, in particular
alliances (7) understand the supply chain as a fulfillment structures for collaborating companies for new business ventures to
cope with problems and opportunities. (8) suggested and develop supply chain (re)design directions for the future of the
companies in a supply chain.
The following topics will be discussed during the lectures:
The significance of their logistics system in and between companies from a business perspective;
Methods that can be used to analyze logistics systems;

Basic knowledge of evaluation methods like cost-benefit analysis and multi criteria techniques is necessary. Students who lack
knowledge in this respect should join a group with the necessary know how. Moreover, additional information will be provided
on blackboard.
This course focusses on the evaluation of transport policies by looking at its impacts and public/political support. Since policy
making in the field of traffic and transport is complex, the quality could be improved by policy advice in which, on the one hand,
problems are scientificly analysed and alternatives evaluated and, on the other hand, public/political support for implementation
is assessed.
The policy cycle i.e. problem formulation, designing, implementing and evaluating policies, provides the framework for
Transport Policy. It is important to distinguish between the output of a policy (e.g. more competition in public transport) which
is a means to an end, and the outcome (more people should use public transport) which is of interest for politicians. Ex ante
evaluation forecasts the anticipated impacts of policies whereas ex post evaluation monitors and assesses the concrete effects.
The course is method-based and assignments show the use of results in policy making.
The aims of the course:
- to increase the knowledge of ex ante/ex post evaluation methods
- to understand the reasons behind transport policies
- to develop skills to assess the political relevance of the outcomes of research
Lectures (2 hours a week), self education and assignments (obligatory)
Assignments by small groups (2-3 students).

Cost-Benefit Analysis: Theory and Applications

Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) has become a widely used (often mandatory) tool for public-policy decision making on
infrastructural projects or environmental and climate policies. Through CBA, the potential current and future gains and losses of
a proposed policy are identified, and then converted into money units in order to make them comparable with policy alternatives;
certain decision rules help to determine whether the project is desirable from societys standpoint. Because CBA evaluates policy
and/or project proposals from the point of view of the public interest, the market prices used in CBA are corrected for possible
market distortions or failure (for example, un-priced environmental damage). Nevertheless, the application of CBA is fraught
with has difficulties and limitations that need to be taken into account. What rates of interest are appropriate for determination of
present and future costs and benefits of a policy proposal? Why and how do the private benefits and costs of a policy proposal
differ from the social benefits and costs? How can we express e.g. environmental damage, or human health and life risks, in
money units? How can we adjust market prices to account for external effects? How can we use alternative measures of welfare
to identify the benefits and costs of a policy proposal? Such questions are addressed with the help of a variety of case-studies,
including climate stabilization policy, large infrastructure projects or large events such as the Olympic Games.
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
* understand why CBA can be used to appraise projects with an objective to improve social welfare
* gain an understanding of the fundamentals of CBA
* perform steps or approaches to evaluate the financial and economic values of a project
* understand the strength and limitations of CBA in project appraisal.
* interpret the results of a cost-benefit analysis
* criticize and defend the CBA methodology from an ethical perspective
* explain the advantages and the disadvantages of applying a CBA methodology in a political process with multi-stakeholders

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 also requires 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.

and more.
During the course the student will learn to:
1.define the performance criteria of the system to be modeled
2.choose and implement a simplified but appropriate representation of the system in the simulation environment
3.calibrate and verify the model with experiments or experimental data
4.test the influence of different simulation parameters on the performance of the system

WB3310LR
In the course Advanced Design of Baggage Handling Systems the student will be confronted with an actual design challenge in
the area of automated baggage handling systems. The challenges will come from key-players in this field like KLM Royal Dutch
Airlines, VanderLande or Schiphol Airport Amsterdam. Within a small team the student will have to design a part of an
automated baggage handling system from scratch using a methodological design approach. The targeted level is to submit a
detailed design including the required sensors, actuators and control logic.
After this course students will be able to:
-Understand the specifics of equipment that works in a baggage handling system.
-Translate a general design challenge in detailed design questions.
-Incorporate regulatory, safety and health requirements in the design.
-Apply a methodological design approach including multi-criteria analyses.
-Select sensor and actuator systems to fulfill the functional requirements of the design.
-Verify and validate the final design.
This course consists of seven lectures. The first three lectures will be used to introduce the design challenge, give examples and
explain the methods and tools available for performing the design. The last four lectures will be used to jointly start with the
design and discuss and fine-tune all the applicable aspects of the design challenge. Students then are expected to finalize the
design with their group and to submit a detailed design report. If time permits we will go on an excursion to see baggage
handling systems in practice.

Structural integrity assessment for transport equipment
Structural integrity is the study of the safe design and assessment of components and structures under load, and has become
increasingly important in engineering design. The technology and applications of structural integrity are wide-ranged from
transportation, oil and gas, power generation to petrochemical, nuclear sectors, etc.
The overall objective of the course is to prepare graduates with an in-depth knowledge of the science and technology of
structural integrity, materials degradation, asset ageing and inspection. The fundamental theory and principles of these
disciplines will be covered in a series of modules. Application of those theories will be exemplified and practiced through in
class exercises and weekly assignments.
After successfully completing the course, students will be able to:
explain what structural integrity is and how it is achieved and demonstrated
establish and validate a FEM model
undertake linear and nonlinear stress analysis properly
identify mechanism of main degrading factors (fatigue, fracture and corrosion) and their effects on structural integrity.
detect and quantify structural integrity issues by material testing and NDT techniques.
develop appropriate risk based inspection, maintenance and service plans
make decisions when dealing with structures with flaws and other damage

English
The main goal for the course wb3416 Design with finite elements is to learn using FEM (Finite Element Modeling) software as a
design tool. The assignment for this course is to structurally design a crane with the aid of finite element program FEMAP and
calculate loads with SDC Verifier. Choose a crane (or ship loader/ unloader) from a library of example cranes and structurally
design the crane with the information given from the technical specifications sheet and a photo or basic design drawing of an
existing crane.
Starting from the basic layout of the crane (see the photo) the structural design of the crane has to withstand weather conditions
and the working loads given in the specifications. In order to study the influences of the different loads and conditions a finite
element model of the crane has to be made.
For approval the crane has to be calculated according to the Dutch standards NEN 2018 and 2019. For this course at least the
following criteria have to be checked:
Material stress
Fatigue
Corner load
Deflection
Eigenfrequencies
Buckling
Dynamic behavior
The result of the course is a report with includes all calculations relevant to prove the structural integrity of the crane design.

Modelling, discrete simulation, process-interaction method, logistics, production, transport, control, practical
This is a course on the modeling of discrete systems for transport and production. It deals with a method to quickly design
flexible prototype models and to implement them in a simulation environment. The method is based on the systems approach in
combination with process-interaction modeling. Special attention is paid to the modeling of operational control and the use of
these models for real-time control. A number of practical examples, including a production process, a transport system and a port
will be considered.
During the course a number of individual assignments will be given to be answered via blackboard. Halfway the course, groups
of 4 students are formed. Each group has to design(on paper) a process-interaction model of a realistic case including the model
goal, performance indicators, input, output and an experimental design, resulting in a short report.
Those who have attained a satisfactory result for both the individual work and the group model design will be admitted to the
second part of the course. This takes the form of a practical. The model developed in the first part has to be implemented and
applied in a simulation environment based on Delphi and Tomas (see http://www.delphibasics.co.uk/ and www.tomasweb.com.
(Beta version of Tomas in Lazarus is expected to be available in the course of 2011, see http://mirrors.iwi.me/lazarus/ )
The results: process-interaction model design, implementation, experiments and final report will be graded.
Study Goals

Discrete Element Method simulation (ME1412)
This course focuses on the characterisation of the mechanical and dynamical behaviour of bulk solid materials. Bulk solid
materials include coal, sand, limestone etc. 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. Experimental ways to determine the mechanical properties
of bulk solid materials will be discussed.
An experimental assignment to determine these properties of a particular bulk solid material is part of the course in the first
period. With the experimentally determined properties the behaviour of this material in a silo (no flow or mass flow versus
funnel flow) will be predicted.
Knowing the properties of a specific bulk solid material, the effect of these properties on the design of handling or transporting
equipment can be determined. This includes also the influence from and on the environment of bulk handling systems.
Conceptually designing a piece of equipment for storing, handling or transporting a bulk solid material, of which the mechanical
properties are determined experimentally earlier in this course, is also part of this course.
Study Goals
State-of-the-art particle based simulation with Discrete Element Method (DEM) will be introduced. The parameters, algorithms,

The course runs over the complete first semester.
The first period consists of lectures (4 hours per week). Use is made of the book of Hillier and lecture slides. Lectures consist of
studio classroom sessions, where the theory is treated, followed by a practical part where the theory is applied. Use will be made
of Excel, specific tools and MATLAB.
This period is ended with a written exam.
Study Goals
Education Method
Books
The lectures in the second period will treat the topic of metaheuristic methods. In addition, the problem of establishing an
objective function (value engineering) is treated.
The aim of the course is to provide the students with knowledge that, after following the course, allows them to
1. Define from a general description an optimization problem, i.e., to define the decision variables, the constraints and the
objective function;
2. Select and apply a suitable optimization method;
3. Analyze the results obtained from the optimization (sensitivity analysis);
4. Apply metaheustic methods;
5. Convert a given description of a value engineering problem to a mathematical formulation and apply an optimization method
to solve for it.
The course consists of lectures.

First period: Lectures on optimization techniques will be given in studio classroom sessions where the students directly apply the
treated optimization techniques to specific problems. Use is made of the book of Hillier and Lieberman.
Second period: The material will be taught through lectures. The lecture slides will be provided via blackboard.
The following book is needed for following the course and studying the exam:
Introduction to Operations Research
Frederick S. Hillier and Gerald L. Lieberman, NINTH EDITION
Mc Graw-Hill International Edition
Assessment
Assessment consists of three parts:

- a written exam on optimization methods after period 1
- an assignment on the topic of metaheuristic methods
- an assignment on the topic of value engineering
Deadlines for handing in the assignments will be communicated to the students in the lectures and through blackboard.
All elements should be passed with 6.0 or higher to successfully finish the course.
Important note: Failure for any of the above mentioned three elements in the current academic year requires redoing them all the
next academic year.

General assignment
The main goal of the elective is to elaborate a critical analysis of metropolitan mobility issues in relation to issues of planning
and the natural and man-made landscape.
The aim is to understand and act on aspects of metropolitan mobility, water management and urban design in a developing
context, through research and the elaboration of a spatial design for a sub-system of the High Tiet river basin system in So
Paulo, Brazil.
This assignment is done by critically analyzing the issues and trends at hand, understanding the wishes and demands from the
stakeholders, the governance arrangements and proposing spatial interventions.
This course builds on the theme of the Sao Paulo Infrastructural Traffic and Water Ring. Locally known as the Rodoanel Mario
Covas- the Greater So Paulo Road Ring, and the Hidro-Anel, the Fluvial Waterway for the transport of goods of the
Metropolitan Region of So Paulo.
The metropolitan area of So Paulo is comparable to the Randstad in terms of size and economic output, but has twice its
population. The complexity of planning and designing for traffic and water resilience in a metropolis of a developing economy
context poses important questions:
(a) how the planning and design of urban and landscape infrastructures could potentially improve the social, economic and
ecological conditions of densely occupied areas;
(b) how mobility and water planning/governance could best support the transition towards livable and resilient territories and
(c) how the understanding of metropolitan governance structures can help designers and planners act in a more sensitive and
informed manner, by taking real stakeholders and their concerns and objectives into account.
This course focuses on the interconnections between spatial planning, landscape design and regional design in a cross
disciplinary way. There are three chairs of the Department of Urbanism involved: Environmental Technology and Design,
Spatial Planning, Landscape Architecture), each catering for specific aspects of the project.
Specific assignment
To design spatial strategies for a flexible hydrological network (more space for water) in a dense urbanised context using the
public ground. The design has to address the following points: urban mobility, critical (water) flows, retrofitting of natural
landscapes/ of the natural environment in an urban context, site specific spatial and topographical qualities, main actors and
stakeholders involved, overall feasibility and scale-related instruments/solutions.
The case we are taking is the Hidro-Anel, Sao Paulo-Brazil. An excursion to the location is programmed, during the excursion
we will hold a seminar with the local experts and stakeholders.
Study Goals
The students have to take in account that expenses are involved.

General learning objectives
The student is able:
- To develop a cross-disciplinary spatial strategy and design proposal for metropolitan mobility infrastructure, based on the
concept of multifunctional landscape infrastructure and resilience;
- To reflect on mobility and water management and design issues in an urban context.
- To search for site specific alternatives taking into account sustainable social/economic/environmental and spatial characteristics
of the site and connect them to implementation and governance perspectives;
- To research and apply sustainable and resilient solutions concerning mobility and water management
- To understand and take into account the actors and stakeholders involved in mobility and water management processes (to take
realistic decisions, to facilitate the applicability of the project).
-To propose a spatial strategy of intervention that fits into the logic of development of the metropolis.
-To understand the connections between theoretical inputs, design and planning practice
-To apply a cross-disciplinary approach involving spatial planning, landscape design and sustainable technology and design
Specific learning objectives
The student is able:
to design spatial strategies to tackle issues related to metropolitan and landscape infrastructure (i.e. the integration between
surface storm water management, green infrastructure design and urban mobility/ logistic aspects ).
to work across different scales and to relate actors and spatial design instruments related to water and mobility to a
specific/correct scale
to analyse and point out problems and potentialities concerning water, waste and mobility issues.
to define main site specific spatial/topographical qualities and involved them in a design process
to define the main actors and stakeholders involved in the infrastructure planning process and integrate them into the design
process

During this course the maximization method is used in order to create a draft for a sustainable urban plan.
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' (TiDO), see www.tudelft.nl/tisd.
The student:
- is capable of effectively analysing 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.
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 (approximately 1000 dwellings with facilities) 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; Waste.
An outline 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): 56
course load hours (approx. 18 hours contact time, approx. 38 hours individual study).

Assessment is based on two presentations and the end-products. The final result is a draft design for a district, neighbourhood
and/or block with oral presentation and written commentary, capable of being understood without further explanation.

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.
The student:
- 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
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.

engineering companies or institutes (contractors, consultancies, government, non-governmental organisations, etc.) in the
Netherlands or abroad.
An internship provides the opportunity to get a glance of the technical, social, economic and organizational aspects of civil
engineering and/or related fields as a profession. The student is completing a project in which he/she can apply the academic
skills and knowledge acquired in earlier education. The student should aim for a project with clear deliverables of a sufficient
academic level.
The main objectives are:
- student develops general engineering skills (e.g. knowledge of methods and technical practice including modelling) in a
professional setting.
- student develops research skills (e.g. being analytical based on broad and deep scientific knowledge, synthesise knowledge and
solve problems in a creative way) in a professional setting.
- student learns to apply technological know-how in an industrial setting.
- student links theoretic knowledge with practice.
- student develops academic thinking skills, writing and reflecting on experiences.
- student puts into practice social and communicative skills when working with colleagues and non-colleagues.

Solve an actual and recent civil engineering problem in a multidisciplinary team. Integrate several studies and designs into a
coherent entity, based on knowledge, understanding and skills acquired in the preceding years. Attention will be on quality
control and the evaluation of the design process. Knowledge and skills obtained during the BSc projects will be used in this
project. The course is divided into three phases: phase 1: inception plan; phase 2: preliminary design and studies; phase 3:
process evaluation with respect to interdisciplinary aspects; final report.
Description
Phase 1: preliminary investigation (Problem exploration and treatment). By means of supplied and found information (project
file, informers, literature) an inventory and analysis of the problem must be made. This results in a (substantive) problem
formulation and an objective. Coupled to that, a treatment will be formulated. Which methods will be used, which contribution
can different disciplines provide to the project, which steps have been passed through successively, which information is still
necessary, where can that information be found? Finally the organization of the group must be fixed.
Phase 2: design. At this stage is alternatively worked for the complete problem and for sub-problems. The work exists for a part
of research, for a another part of developing design alternatives or solution alternatives, and from developing the sub-problems.
Ongoing, the consistency with the whole design must be monitored.
Phase 3: Round-off. In the round-off, the last hand is laid to the results of the project. First of all the handed in report is discussed
with the speculator team, whereupon the definite version is made. The participants evaluate the project, both substantive and
concerning the project process. Finally, the presentation is prepared and a summary for the presentation is established.
Note 1:
If students from Building Engineering want to do the masterproject they will be doing the High Rise project.
Teams are formed together with the students form the Faculty of Architecture with a task to design a big scale high-rise building.
The teams consist of about five students. Each student is assigned to represent a specific dicsipline (architect, stuctural engineer,
project manager, building services engineer, etc.) with a specifc task and responsibility in the team, covering architectural and
functional design, structural design, building physics, finishes, building services, real estate development and construction and
management. The civil engineering students are mostly assigned the function of the stuctural engineer. The time reserved for this
workshop project is approx. 8 weeks. The teams are coached and guided in the lines of the mentioned disciplines, by a number of
lecturers from the faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering and engineers and architects from daily parctice.
For more information see: www.aal.Bk.tudelft.nl
Study Goals
Note 2:.
For students who aim for an Integral Design Managemnt (IDM) annotation within their respective MSc track and specialisation,
this course/project is mandatory. Moreover, IDM-students must apply integral design and management knowledge and skills
obtained at the IDM courses CIE 3380 and CIE 4480. This includes knowledge and skills on integral design and maintenance,
project- and asset management, and information systems. Depending on the students MSc track and specialisation three domains
of application are considered: water, infra and building.
1. Design learning on a sub-sector of civil engineering in multidisciplinary link.
2. Integrated appliance of knowledge and skills from previous years.
3. Application of design knowledge and skills from the first, second and third year.
4. Learning to work by means of an interdisciplinary approach.
5. Learning to report, present and defending the end product.

This course gives the student the opportunity to participate in a concrete, interdisciplinary 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 fulfill 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, working out of the research plan, evaluating results and
eventually coming to findings and recommendations. Literature research and, when appropriate, empirical research, model
development, case study, and analysis can be part of the approach. Reviewing and writing a scientific paper as well as writing a
process report are part of this course. A scientific researcher (PhD, researcher, professor) will supervise the individual student.
Study Goals
Education Method
Materials
Assessment
The mini projects are either related to ongoing research of an individual PhD or senior scientific staff member, or fall within the
scope of a coherent research program defined in relation with societal partners from the domain of Transport, Infrastructure, and
Logistics. In the former type of project, the student works only with the PhD or senior scientific staff member active on the
ongoing research project. In the latter, the student will also interact with other students working on related research questions of
the research programme and a program coordinator.
To learn the basics of performing (applied) scientific research and associated activities like literature research, empirical or case
analysis, and reviewing and writing a scientific paper.
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.
The literature and study materials are to be determined together with the supervisor - literature and study materials should relate
to and be relevant for the chosen research topic.
Guidelines for the course (describing the aim, the procedure and the table of contents of the process report) will be handed to the
student when starting the course.
The assessment is based on two products:
- process report
- (concept) scientific (conference or journal) paper
The products will be reviewed and assessed by the scientific researcher and the course coordinator.
Special Information
Contact
Both products need to be sufficient in order to pass the course.

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.

The TIL-seminars are the lifeline of the MSc-TIL programme. Every other week a broad range of topics will be discussed by
means of invited speakers, project discussions, project presentations, theme discussions and thesis presentations. MSc-TIL
students are required to attend 12 of these seminars during their study and are required to organise one of these seminars
themselves (under the guidance of a lecturer). When organising a seminar, the students will provide handouts and will prepare a
presentation or give an introduction to the presentations to be held. They will organise the discussion by question and
propositions. After the seminar they will have to write a conclusive 5 - 10 page report.
The content is different for each seminar, but will cover the broad field of Transport, Infrastructure and Logistics from many
positions. Lectures of profile electives will be asked to host slots in the seminar schedule to assure an equal attention of the TILfield. Non covered topics (in the current MSc-TIL programme) will be given the proper attention aswell.
To gain in-depth knowledge of specific TIL-topics.
To link scientific TIL-knowledge to real world situations
To reflect on ongoing TIL developments.
To discuss or debate TIL-topics.
To judge and be critical about work of TIL collegues.
To organise a seminar and report about a seminar.
4 hours in a minimum sequence of 3 times each quarter (educational period), either lectures, practical work, excursions, design
assignments, debates etc. etc.
Each seminar is unique, so material will come available one of a few weeks before the actual seminar.On Black Board a manual
for students for organising a seminar will be provided.
The final grade will be overall average of the performance of the student. It is a combination of: attendance, participation,
motivation, organisation of one or more seminars, the written report about organised seminar.
In words it will be called "sufficient" if the assessment terms are met, in exceptional cases the words "good" or "excellent" may
be given.

TIL MSc students. You can only start your TIL 5060 MSc thesis project if you have at least a 5,75 for this course.
[General]
Students with different backgrounds, specialisations and preferably also different nationalities and gender collaborate in a
complex project, which consists of a research and a design module.
To fulfill our high quality standards, your project can ONLY be carried out in the Netherlands, not abroad. Each team member
works 2,5-3,5 days per week on this project for one full quarter (10-11 weeks).
[Joining the course]
- enroll on Blackboard in the period BEFORE the period you want to carry out the project (e.g., Q1 in case of Q2). Do this in
particular if you want to work with a company, as it takes several months to arrange everything;
- fill in the right application form for period and email/bring it to the coordinator;
- if you fullfill the requirements, then the course coordinator may accept your application;
- if there are at least 4 students and a common theme can be found, then you can follow the course in the requested period.
- if you have any doubts about content, timing (study planning), requirements, if you want or do not want to be in a team with
certain other students, please contact the course coordinator asap.
The course is in general open all periods, but only if at least 4 students enroll and fulfill all requirements. Team size is 5 students
maximum.
The course coordinator may add an additional (remaining) student to a team (< 5) if necessary.
[Start-up]
The course coordinator will invite you for a meeting or you can contact him to discuss a topic and the procedure.
As a team you write a Project Vision and Scope document (PVS) covering research & design in the quarter before you start your
project.

[More information]
All details of the course are explained in the Student guide/Course manual on Blackboard. Please read this carefully before you
ask questions. Of course, the coordinator will answer any remaining questions you might have.
Each team will have its own project. In the project you will use all relevant knowledge about content and methods you learned in
other TIL-, SEPAM-, TEL- or T&P courses and your bachelor. You will use a design/systems engineering approach to deal with
TIL-environments, -arena's, -systems, and -facilities. You apply this systems engineering approach in the research and the design
modules of your project.
In the project you use scientific methods and references. It is not a consultancy project. The project should contain a technical
application (component), which should be elaborated to a sufficient extent. This project contains a cycle of theory (limited) and
empirics (collecting data: see/feel/hear, test, experiment, measure), analysis, design and evaluation.
1: To learn, as a team, to work to together in a study of a complex design problem.
2: To identify the requirements, which have to be fulfilled by possible solutions (designs) to solve the earlier identified design
problem
3: To develop a few solutions for a complex design problem. These solutions should be well argumented, if the data allow, also
quantified and applicable in practice (by the final customer, if available).
4: To present and defend team results.
5: To collaborate and cooperate in such a way that the project goals are fulfilled.
6: To effectively manage a project.
Self-study project with weekly supervision meetings with two lecturers. These meetings are used to discuss content, project
organisation and team dynamics, and to receive feedback. Students will present their work at regular moments. Discussion
material should be shared with supervisors a few days before a weekly meeting or presentation.
Students can organize any number of team meetings. They are free to contact other (external) experts in the Netherlands before
and during the project.
See section 'Readings suggestion' on Blackboard. This is advised literature.
Course manual on Blackboard. This is updated regularly, benefitting from suggestions by students.
See the Enrollment form on Blackboard:
-A BSc degree.
-One course from each of the four elective lists T&P, T&L, TEL and external (may be part of the chosen specialization) finished
with a positive mark.
-At least 55 ects WHEN you fill in the form. If you have less than 55 ects, contact the coordinator. If you have less than 50 ects,
don't apply and enroll in the next quarter.
-The course is only for students in the final year of their TIL MSc study. You do it just before your MSc Thesis project (TIL
5060).
These prerequisites enable you to follow this course in an optimal way. They balance your workload, reduce freerider behaviour
and frustrations in your team.
Team assignment:
- project scope and vision (PVS), rich pictures, design brief;
- (draft) report(s), green light report and final report (= 80 pages incl. appendices);
- (final) presentation(s) and defence;
- team cooperation, problem prevention and -solving, individual contributions - individual and group reflection documents.
Chapter 10 of the Student guide contains the assessment criteria and forms.
The mark is a joint decision of the multidisciplinary expert committee. It will, with a motivation, be delivered by the coordinator.
The mark given by the committee is the final mark. This formally ends the project. There will be no further discussion about any
Page 103 of 116
aspect of the project, either content- or process-oriented, after this meeting.

Sign in on Blackboard, then fill in the enrollment form on Blackboard and email it to the coordinator or bring it to CEG room
4.36. Due to organisational reasons, later enrollments cannot be accepted.
Q1: 02-09-2015 t/m 10-11-2015 - email enrollment form until August 10;
Q2: 11-11-2015 t/m 02-02-2016 - email enrollment form until October 20;

Each student has to fulfil a master thesis project in order to finish his or her TIL MSc study and enter the professional world as
an academic. The thesis project is an interdisciplinary project, which contains elements from at least two fields typically offered
by the faculties participating in the MSc-TIL programme. The MSc-thesis project may also be pursued outside the university in
conjunction with industry or other institutions in the Netherlands or abroad.
The MSc-TIL thesis project takes at least half a year (30 EC). It is supervised by at supervising team from two of the three TIL
faculties. The product of TIL5060 is a thesis report, presentation and defence which together are a proof that a student fulfills all
the Study Goals (see below).
The TIL 5060 master thesis project is described in the Graduation Portal of the TIL MSc website:
http://www.tudelft.nl/en/study/master-of-science/master-programmes/transport-infrastructure-logistics/programme2014/graduation-portal/
1) The student is able to independently plan, and execute a design or research project in the TIL domain
2) The student is able to relate and motivate his work to the current state-of-the-art /practice through literature review, analysis
and synthesis
3) The student is able to apply both qualitative and quantitative tools from throughout the TIL curriculum to his or her project
(logic/scientific reasoning, mathematical/empirical underpinning, mathematical techniques and models, simulation, cost-benefit
analyses, etc)
4) The student is able to discuss and identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of his/her own work, and place
his/her results in the state-of-the-art/practice
5) The student is able to synthesize and communicate the results of the project in a concise and academic (critical) way, both on
paper (report and summary), as well as orally/visually (examination and public defence)
The student plans, executes, reports and defends his thesis project independently, supervised and supported by a thesis
committee. This implies that the primary responsibility for managing the thesis process lies with the student: arranging both
bilateral and committee meetings, distributing reports/drafts/files, etc
The two weekly supervisors from TBM/CEG/3Me help the student to carry out his or her thesis work. The supervising professor
is end responsible for the feasibility, quality and suitability of the thesis subject and project.
Within the thesis project four meetings are mandatory: a kick-off meeting, at least one mid-term meeting, a green-light meeting
and the final thesis defence, which consists of a public defence open to every one and a closed defence with just the committee.

Practical Guide
Prerequisites
Assessment
A student is free to choose his or her own literature and data in order to execute a Master Thesis Project. His or her supervisors
will give advice regarding the content and direction of the research.
See TIL Graduation portal:
http://www.tudelft.nl/en/study/master-of-science/master-programmes/transport-infrastructure-logistics/programme2014/graduation-portal/
See Article 5 of
http://studenten.tudelft.nl/fileadmin/Files/studentenportal/os/CiTGspecifiek/RRvE_OER_UR_IP_TER/20142015/TER_MSc_TIL_2014-2015.pdf .
The assessment will be based on the TIL Master Thesis project as a whole, no partial grades will be given on components of the
work. As a basic rule, students are entitled to a motivation of their final score along three criteria:
(1) thesis contents (scientific quality & innovation, results and applicability);
(2) thesis report & presentation; and
(3) thesis process (independence, amount of work, cooperation, etc).
