MerlinRoadsAI

MerlinRoads AI extends the MerlinRoads traffic analysis framework with an agentic AI interface built on the Model Context Protocol. The users are able to perform queries on the traffic information and conduct simulation studies using the natural language interface, thus making knowledge of the system unnecessary. For instance, one can ask the system to perform an analysis on alternative routes from Enschede to Amsterdam assuming the A1 highway is closed. The system is designed to be agent-agnostic and modular, supporting multiple AI providers and extensible data sources through a plugin-based architecture.

CS: Design Project

The CS Design Project module is one of the two final modules of the Bachelor. In the design component of this module, students show that they master the entire design trajectory, from the first informal specification of requirements by a client to the delivery and presentation of a well-documented working product. Projects are submitted by clients from either inside or outside the University. Students perform the project in groups of 3-5 students under the supervision of a teacher from the Department of Computer Science. The supervisor is also the one who assesses the process and products of the group. Project deliverables include a project proposal, a design report, a presentation and a poster.
