... 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)

The course deals with critically assessing transport modelling practices, more advanced (recent) developments in transport
modelling, and network performance analysis. Main themes are dynamic traffic assignment and traffic flow modelling, public
transport and multimodal assignment, and travel demand modelling. We also address issues such as service reliability, traffic
data and model calibration. Part of the course is to do an assignment in which you select a case study for which you then design
and specify an appropriate transport model.

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 focuses on the automation of modern material transport systems. Automation is often necessary to increase the
capacity and to reduce the operation costs of industry systems. As well, automation is required to maintain the operation
accuracy and system reliability and efficiency at a sufficient level. The automation of transport systems requires a throughout
understanding of diverse transport processes and the equipment involved.
The course of automation of transport systems contains two aspects: the automation of the transport systems themselves and the
automation of transport support systems. Firstly in this course, the automation and technologies that have been applied to various
material transport systems will be discussed. The challenges and opportunities of applying new technologies to realize transport
automation will be explored. Secondly, the automation of transport support systems will be studied. The technologies and
methodologies for automated transport operational control and decision-making will be given in detail.
The students will be able to
(1) understand the automation of different transport systems;
(2) gain the knowledge and experience of transport automation both in concept and in practice;
(3) describe transport processes and the operation of involved equipment;
(4) identify the properties of determining the performance of automated transport systems;
(5) determine the requirements of transport automation in terms of operational control methods and mathematical models;
(6) design automation processes from data acquisition, data analysis to decision-making for transport operational control;
(7) apply the technologies and methodologies to achieve transport automation.

The course deals with critically assessing transport modelling practices, more advanced (recent) developments in transport
modelling, and network performance analysis. Main themes are dynamic traffic assignment and traffic flow modelling, public
transport and multimodal assignment, and travel demand modelling. We also address issues such as service reliability, traffic
data and model calibration. Part of the course is to do an assignment in which you select a case study for which you then design
and specify an appropriate transport model.

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.

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

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

The course aims at providing the students with knowledge and experience to set-up and analyze complex optimization problems.
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.

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.

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.
6. Learning to apply elementary quality guarantee principles (e.g. MCE, SWOT) during the design process.
7. Evaluate learning of the interdisciplinary work process

Also the manual of the master project is available on blackboard and can be obtained at the international office of CEG.
Starting the project is only allowed when you have completed your BSc:
Prerequisites
"Students may not embark on the multidisciplinary project until, in case of a subsidiary programme outlined in Article3,
subsection 2, this programme has been rounded of and, if applicable, the bachelor of science programme of civil engineering at
Delft University has been rounded of."
(Article 17 of Teaching and Examination Regularion, implementation regulations 2006-2007)
Article 3 sub 2 reads:
"Students who have been admitted to the course on the basis of a bachelor's degree gained from a Dutch higher vocational
institute must complete a susidiary programme as stipulated in article 11 sub1"
Assessment
For IDM-students: completed courses CIE3380 (or BSc equivalent) and CIE4480.
The group has to write a report and to give an oral presentation. The mark is based on:
Written and oral report
1. Readability of report
2. Size (not too large, not too small)
3. Readaility of drawings
4. Quality oral presentation
Group process
1. Is there a division of tasks
2. Is the project well prepared
3. Has there been delivered in time

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.

[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.

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).
Special Information

The final mark is determined by the Examination Committee and ultimately its chair, the supervising professor.
Confidentiality arrangements:
1. TUD and TIL course management do not favour confidentiality arrangements or (written) agreements.
2. The final thesis report will always be a public report and as such be part of the repository of the TUD.
4. A confidential appendix may be used to protect competition sensitive data.
5. TUD will only accept minimal restrictions of the academic and personal freedom of its students and staff with respect to the
publication and use of thesis project results. Any restriction should be discussed with the graduation coordinators before the
project starts.
