The Hague, Nederland TNO Voltijd

About this position

As cities strive towards creating sustainable and livable urban environments, there is increasing pressure on logistics systems to be designed with minimal impact. This research focuses on merging urban logistics models with digital twin technologies to enable smarter decision making.

What will be your role?

As policy makers worldwide are reconsidering their mobility policies to reduce externalities and increase livability in cities, there has been an increasing interest in modeling the impact of new policy decisions on existing urban logistical systems. This interest does not only include the impact on the logistical systems themselves, but also the impact on quality of life in urban areas by reducing the spatial footprint of logistics vehicles. Additionally, the logistics supply chains are continuously more complex, making it even more crucial to understand the impact of future policy measures. At TNO we are busy developing tools and models that will assist policy makers in these complex scenarios and give insight into the effect of various measures on logistics traffic in cities. We aim to integrate these models into our existing digital twin technologies to shed light onto how logistics interacts with other urban transportation modes and provide a more holistic image of the transportation patterns within cities.

In this internship, you will work together with some of our scientists to further develop these models and explore a topic of your interest in relation to it. This could include topics such as:

Designing methods for validating our existing models Defining urban logistics indicators to assess impact Developing and executing scenario analysis using our models Interesting ideas that you come up with yourself.

What we expect from you

For this internship we are looking for someone that is at the end stage of their university master programme. You are focused on achieving results and having influence and impact within TNO. You are socially involved, creative and able to think out of the box. You combine these qualities with a good dose of enthusiasm to work on sustainable mobility, both in a technical and policy sense. You take ownership of your work and you are a team player who solves problems together with others. You are also structured, analytically and qualitatively strong. You are strong in communication and you can listen "actively".

What you'll get in return

You want an internship opportunity on the precursor of your career; an internship gives you an opportunity to take a good look at your prospective future employer. TNO goes a step further. It’s not just looking that interests us; you and your knowledge are essential to our innovation. That’s why we attach a great deal of value to your personal and professional development. You will, of course, be properly supervised during your work placement and be given the scope for you to get the best out of yourself. Furthermore, we provide:

A highly professional, innovative internship environment, within a team of top experts. A suitable internship allowance ( euro for wo- and hbo-students, euro for mbo-students, for a full-time internship). Possibility of eight hours of free leave per internship month (for a full-time internship). A free membership of , where you can meet other TNO professionals and join , such as sports activities, (work-related) courses or the yearly ski-trip. Use of a laptop. An allowance for travel expenses in case you don’t receive an OV-card.

    What will be your role? Nowadays, deep learning techniques are used in a wide variety of domains, including the radar domain. In the radar domain, deep learning is primarily applied for classification based on some 2D representation of the radar data, e.g., an Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) image or a spectrogram (i.e., an image of signal...

    What will be your role? Deep learning techniques typically thrive when large sets of labelled data are available. In the radar domain, labelled data tend to be scarce depending on the application area. So it would be beneficial if all available data could be used. However, in practice measurements may be made with varying radar waveform settings (such...
