The rapid adoption of e-bikes as an alternative mode of transportation to automobiles gives rise to new methods of safety regulations for cyclists. Modern e-bikes feature Internet of Things (IoT) modules capable of collecting and sending cycling data that can be used for traffic safety analysis. This study explores the potential of using cycling...

A loss of vacuum accident in the hyperloop tunnel will likely occur during its operation, and it may have a severe impact on its operational safety. Nevertheless, the hyperloop tube breach has only been researched superficially.<br/><br/>Two aerodynamic phenomena due to the breach are identified: a (quasi-)steady underexpanded jet and an...

A fascination with obsolescence as an inherent landscape condition lies at the core of a project that thematically focuses on fundamental scientific inquiry in reference to the Big Science. It stems from the preconceived tensions between the notions of progress versus obsolescence and progress versus accident. <br/><br/>The former is a result of...

The severe accident at the Fukushima-Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in 2011 has shown the necessity to study the impact of the release of hazardous fission products. This work investigates the Ba-Cs-Sr-Mo-O system, which contains some of the most abundantly produced fission products, as well as fission products that carry a great health risk on...

Bicycles connected to the internet present an opportunity for integrated accident detection and geolocation. Such a system can reduce the time it takes for help to arrive by automatically alerting predefined contacts with the location of the accident. I developed a systematic method for the practical implementation of bicycle accident detection...

Due to the Internet, and more importantly its interfaces we carry, we have gained freedom to do whatever, wherever, whenever. All the fields of interaction with the Internet are called the Interface in this research. The Interface automates human actions. In many aspects of life, automation by the Interface has an impact. In this research, it is...

Agent based modelling is a relatively new paradigm allowing to model the various components of the complex socio-technical air transportation system as well as the interactions between these components. Because situation awareness plays a key role in agent-based modelling, researchers at NLR had developed approaches in modelling Multi-Agent...

The responsibility for safety in the Dutch construction industry is changing. The former Health and Safety act contains a lot of detailed requirements. However, the new law sets out generic safety targets instead of prescribing safety equipment and measures. Companies have more freedom to choose how the regulatory requirements are met. This...

In recent years, China has witnessed rapid development in urban transportation, especially in metro projects. However the safety records of metro projects is rather worrying and cannot help to make us think where actually is going wrong. Official reports have claimed that the causes for those metro accidents are mainly from technical and...

Reliability of travel times is an important indicator of the performance of a traffic system. The congestion caused by incidents is an important cause of the unreliability of travel times. Travel time reliability should be incorporated in social cost benefit analyses for infrastructure investments. With an accurate forecast of travel time...

Nederland heeft de ambitie om het aantal dodelijke en ernstige ongevallen met 25% te reduceren. De ontwikkeling van ongevallenvoorspellingsmodellen (OVM’s) kan hier een bijdrage aan leveren. Op basis van de ontwikkeling van OVM’s kunnen allereerst de effecten van het wegontwerp op de verkeersveiligheid beter worden ingeschat dan in de huidige...

A probabilistic model for calculating oil spill volume in sea tanker accidents is presented. Accidents are specified as either collisions or groundings. Based on existing accident data, damage size is estimated given an accident. Using damage size a probability of rupture is calculated. Finally, outflow volume is determined.
