Jansen, Martijn (author)Sea level rise and land subsidence increasingly put more pressure on Dutch flood protections. Additional to regular dike reinforcements, new, more nature-based, solutions are considered, such as a double dike system (DDS). Such system, consisting of two parallel dikes in combination with an interdike area in the form of a salt marsh, offers the...master thesis 2023

Basu, Nandita (author), Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author), King, Mark (author), Kamruzzaman, Md (author), Haque, Md Mazharul (author)Increasing the use of non-motorized modes of transport, such as walking, is a worldwide objective aimed at improving the sustainability of cities. However, pedestrians may not choose to walk if the infrastructure fails to meet their needs or if they hold unfavourable perceptions regarding the built environment (BE). The current study aims to...journal article 2023

van der Werf, Job (author), Kapelan, Z. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author)Model Predictive Control (MPC) of combined sewer systems can reduce environmental degradation caused by uncontrolled overflows. However, practical uncertainties are often neglected when assessing the potential of MPC strategies. This paper aims to understand the risks associated with using a non-perfect internal MPC-model, real precipitation...journal article 2023

Rod, J. E. (author), King, Mark (author), Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author)Walking is the cornerstone of active and sustainable transport. However, traffic safety concerns among pedestrians could reduce walking behaviour. Safety concerns are generally measured through risk perceptions. Unfortunately, a lack of theoretical development of risk perceptions in walking behaviour research has limited our capacity to identify...journal article 2023

Mastenbroek, Fabian (author)Cloud datacenters underpin our increasingly digital society, serving stakeholders across industry, government, and academia. These stakeholders have come to expect reliable operation and high quality of service, yet demand low cost, high scalability, and corporate (environmental) responsibility. Datacenter operators are confronted frequently...master thesis 2022

van Vliet, Kim (author)The problem-solving approach to public regulation places new demands on regulatory agencies in terms of risk analysis: every regulatory problem that is to be solved demands a new, unique analysis to find effective intervention strategies. Many risk analysis tools are available to regulators, however, to date agent-based modelling has not been...master thesis 2022

van Werkhoven, Suzan (author)Despite the severity and high frequency of cost overruns in construction projects, it is considered a rule rather than an exception. This phenomenon occurs when the initially estimated budget does not suffice the actual costs needed to realise the project. Uncertainty and bias challenge the ability to make cost estimates. Incorrect estimates of...master thesis 2022

de Vos, J. (author), Pruyn, J.F.J. (author), Hekkenberg, R.G. (author)Autonomous ships have become a topic of interest for an increasing number of researchers over the last few years. Most of the research that is being performed focuses on autonomous navigation. An important driver for this research is the belief that autonomous navigation will increase safety at sea. In order to evaluate the possible safety...conference paper 2022

Claassen, Judith (author)Torrential rain from tropical cyclones can have a devastating impact, causing loss of life and billions in damages. To better understand the risk faced by coastal communities, it is important to estimate how often a tropical cyclone could occur and how much rainfall it will produce. One way to do this is by analyzing past storms and building...master thesis 2021

Hofman, Wout (author), Migeotte, Jonathan (author), Labare, Mathieu L.M. (author), Rukanova, B.D. (author), Tan, Y. (author)With the rise of data analytics use in government, government organizations are starting to explore the possibilities of using business data to create further public value. This process, however, is far from straightforward: key questions that governments need to address relate to the quality of this external data and the value it brings. In the...conference paper 2021

Markó, Ábel (author), Mádl-Szőnyi, Judit (author), Brehme, M. (author)This study proposes a concept and presents a workflow to examine potential reasons for low injectivity of sandstone aquifers. Injection related problems are a major challenge for the sustainable utilization of geothermal waters. In order to completely understand and avoid the geothermal reinjection problems, potential problem sources acting...journal article 2021

de Gelder, E. (author), Elrofai, Hala (author), Saberi, Arash Khabbaz (author), Paardekooper, Jan Pieter (author), Den Camp, Olaf Op (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)The development of safety validation methods is essential for the safe deployment and operation of Automated Driving Systems (ADSs). One of the goals of safety validation is to prospectively evaluate the risk of an ADS dealing with real-world traffic. ISO 26262 and ISO/DIS 21448, the leading standards in automotive safety, provide an approach...journal article 2021

Sun, Hao (author), Wang, Haiqing (author), Yang, M. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)To quantify the pandemic specific impact with respect to the risk related to the chemical industry, a novel risk analysis method is proposed. The method includes three parts. Firstly, the two types of “window of opportunity” (WO) theory is proposed to divide an accident life cycle into two parts. Then, a qualitative risk analysis is conducted...journal article 2020

de Vos, J. (author), Hekkenberg, R.G. (author), Koelman, H.J. (author)In recent years, a significant amount of research has been conducted on autonomous ships. Since it is assumed that these ships will sail with a significantly reduced crew or even without people on board, the design of the ship needs reconsideration. The absence of people on board and the associated safety measures could result in a more...journal article 2020

Fleuchaus, Paul (author), Schüppler, Simon (author), Bloemendal, Martin (author), Guglielmetti, Luca (author), Opel, Oliver (author), Blum, Philipp (author)The storage of heat in aquifers, also referred to as Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES), bears a high potential to bridge the seasonal gap between periods of highest thermal energy demand and supply. With storage temperatures higher than 50 °C, High-Temperature (HT) ATES is capable to facilitate the integration of (non-)renewable heat...journal article 2020

de Vos, Jiri (author)The research effort on autonomous ships has increased over the last years. The realisation of these ships will have as a consequence that the crew can be reduced significantly or even be removed entirely, resulting in unmanned ships. Although there is a strong belief that unmanned ships would lead to more economic efficiency, only limited...master thesis 2019

Yang, Heran (author)Glass is a material with high potentiality in a structural application. Brittleness has always been challenging for glass structure. Recyclability is also challenging for the current glass application since the chemical bonding is contaminating the recipe. Interlocking cast glass construction offers an interesting bypass to solve these two...master thesis 2019
