Cabrall, C.D.D. (author), Janssen, Nico (author), Goncalves, Joel (author), Morando, Alberto (author), Sassman, Matthew (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Automated driving vehicles of the future will most likely include multiple modes and levels of operation and thus include various transitions of control (ToC) between human and machine. Traditional activation devices (e.g., knobs, switches, buttons, and touchscreens) may be confused by operators among other system setting manipulators and...conference paper 2016

Perko, Z. (author), van der Voort, S.R. (author), Van De Water, Steven (author), Hartman, C.M.H. (author), Hoogeman, M.S. (author), Lathouwers, D. (author)The highly conformal planned dose distribution achievable in intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) can severely be compromised by uncertainties in patient setup and proton range. While several robust optimization approaches have been presented to address this issue, appropriate methods to accurately estimate the robustness of treatment...journal article 2016

Weij, D. (author), Keetels, G.H. (author), Goeree, J.C. (author), van Rhee, C. (author)To model submarine flows of granular materials we propose an extension of the drift-flux approach. The extended model is able to represent dilute suspensions as well as dense granular flows. The dense granwular flow is modelled as a Herschel–Bulkley fluid, with a yield stress that depends on the dispersed phase pressure. Qualitative numerical...journal article 2016

King, T.W. (author), Dignum, M.V. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author)Institutions regulate societies. Comprising Searle's constitutive counts-as rules, "A counts-as B in context C", an institution ascribes from brute and institutional facts (As), a social reality comprising institutional facts (Bs) conditional on the social reality (contexts Cs). When brute facts change an institution evolves from one social...conference paper 2016

van Vledder, G.P. (author), Akpınar, Adem (author)The swell climate of the Black Sea has been determined using a long-term 31-year wave hindcast with the thirdgeneration spectral wave model SWAN in combination with spectral partitioning. This technique enables decomposing wave spectra into individual wave systems representing wind seas or swells and computing integral wave parameters of each...conference paper 2016

Chorus, C.G. (author), van Cranenburgh, S. (author)A recent paper published in this journal compares two regret based choice models, and concludes that one of them is theoretically inferior and has a worse empirical performance in the context of a particular data set [Rasouli and Timmermans, Transportation 6:1–22, 2016]. Unfortunately, those conclusions are ill-founded as they are based on a...journal article 2016

de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Kovacsova, N. (author)The aim of this chapter is to illustrate to driving instructors how science contributes to cumulative knowledge on road safety. We do this by reviewing a scientific study for each of the three classical Es of road safety: (1) education, (2) enforcement, and (3) engineering.<br/>Regarding education, we review the DeKalb experiment from the 1980s,...book chapter 2016

(author)In this paper the attention is focused on the effect of various VOF methods on efficient and accurate simulation of free surface water waves. For this purpose, we will compare several VOF methods in numerical simulations of propagating waves where strong nonlinear behavior is dominant in the flow. Comparisons and discussions will be provided to...conference paper 2016

Leegwater, G.A. (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author), Erkens, S. (author)Damage in pavements is known to reduce over time when the material is left to rest, this phenomenon is known as healing. It has been shown that healing is an important influence factor in pavement performance. However, an accepted method to assess the healing capability of a pavement is currently not available. Healing of cracks is assumed to be...conference paper 2016

It extends two previous papers that are based on the same modeling framework but that are restricted to a single lane on the freeway (or to the analysis of the right lane only). The analytical expression for...conference paper 2016

One of the major drawbacks of membrane systems is biofilm formation (biofouling), which results in an unacceptable decline in membrane performance. Three novel in situ biofouling characterization techniques were assessed: ...review 2016

However, further insight into the flapping-wing aerodynamics is still needed to get closer to the flight performance observed in natural fliers.
