Kammouh, O. (author), Kok, M.W.A. (author), Nogal Macho, M. (author), Binnekamp, R. (author), Wolfert, A.R.M. (author)Changes in a construction project schedule can impact the project's planned duration, resulting in penalties. A manual trial-and-error probabilistic approach is usually conducted to find an appropriate set of corrective measures to mitigate delays of the overall project. However, this approach does not capture the actual goal-oriented...journal article 2022

Viset, F.M. (author), Helmons, R.L.J. (author), Kok, M. (author)We present a computationally efficient algorithm for using variations in the ambient magnetic field to compensate for position drift in integrated odometry measurements (dead-reckoning estimates) through simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). When the magnetic field map is represented with a reduced-rank Gaussian process (GP) using...journal article 2022

den Heijer, F. (author), Kok, M. (author)Dikes are an effective flood risk reduction measure in deltaic areas. Present risk analyses consist often of decoupled calculations of probabilities of dike failure and calculation of consequences of flooding given dike failure. However, the flood defense design determines not only the probability of failure, but influences the consequences...journal article 2022

Osman, M.E.A. (author), Viset, F.M. (author), Kok, M. (author)In this paper, a simultaneous localization and mapping algorithm for tracking the motion of a pedestrian with a foot-mounted inertial measurement unit is proposed. The algorithm uses two maps, namely, a motion map and a magnetic field map. The motion map captures typical motion patterns of pedestrians in buildings that are constrained by e.g....conference paper 2022

(author), van Niftrik, Laura (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Weissbrodt, D.G. (author)The adaptation of bacteria involved in anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) to low temperatures will enable more efficient removal of nitrogen from sewage across seasons. At lower temperatures, bacteria typically tune the synthesis of their membrane lipids to promote membrane fluidity. However, such adaptation of anammox bacteria lipids,...journal article 2022

(author), Deferme, Jolien (author), Toussaint-Duyster, Leontien (author), Horemans, H.L.D. (author)Trunk motor control is essential for the proper functioning of the upper extremities and is an important predictor of gait capacity in children with delayed development. Early diagnosis and intervention could increase the trunk motor capabilities in later life, but current tools used to assess the level of trunk motor control are largely...conference paper 2022

Kok, M. (author), Viset, F.M. (author), Osman, M.E.A. (author)In this work, our focus is on indoor localization using the indoor magnetic field as a source of position information. This relies on the fact that ferromagnetic materials inside buildings cause the magnetic field to vary spatially. We jointly estimate the pose of a combined sensor module (containing a magnetometer) as well as the magnetic field...conference paper 2022

Verhoeven, Gijs (author), Vergara Barrios, P.P. (author), Salazar Duque, Edgar Mauricio (author), Kok, Koen (author)To guarantee a successful deployment of a droop-based control strategy to mitigate overvoltage problems caused by solar photovoltaic (PV) generation, Distribution System Operators (DSOs) will need to estimate the amount of active power curtailed by the PV inverters for billing purposes. This paper provides a structural elaboration on the...conference paper 2022

Verhoeven, Gijs (author), Vergara Barrios, P.P. (author), Kok, Koen (author)Currently, the majority of the available test feeder models are based on the North American type of distribution systems, leaving an absence of representative feeder models for the European (and Dutch) types of distribution systems. Therefore, a standardized set of power flow models for typical Dutch LV distribution networks is developed using...conference paper 2021

Viset, F.M. (author), Gravdahl, Jan Tommy (author), Kok, M. (author)We propose an application of magnetic field norm simultaneous localisation and mapping to measurements from a foot-mounted sensor for pedestrian navigation. The algorithm is, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, the first three dimensional drift-compensating indoor navigation method using only accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer...conference paper 2021

Remmerswaal, Evan (author), Weygers, Ive (author), Smit, G. (author), Kok, M. (author)We present a novel approach to estimate the relative sensor orientation from inertial sensors placed on connected body segments. Drift in the relative orientation estimates obtained by integrating the gyroscope measurements is corrected solely by incorporating common information in the inertial sensor measurements due to the connection of the...conference paper 2021

Ook delen van België en Duitsland overstroomden met zeer veel schade en verlies aan mensenlevens tot gevolg. Dit betrof een extreme en ongeëvenaarde gebeurtenis met enorme impact. Daarom is naar aanleiding van de overstromingen deze verkenning uitgevoerd...report 2021

Klerk, W.J. (author), Kanning, W. (author), Kok, M. (author), Wolfert, A.R.M. (author)Climate change and deterioration require a continuous effort to reinforce flood defences and meet reliability requirements. To efficiently upgrade flood defence systems, insight in costs and benefits of measures at a system level is required throughout the process of planning and design. Due to the size of flood defence systems the number of...journal article 2021

Wewer, M. (author), Aguilar Lopez, J.P. (author), Kok, M. (author), Bogaard, T.A. (author)Backward erosion piping is an internal erosion process, which compromises the stability of water retaining structures such as dams and levees. In this paper, we propose a numerical solution that combines a 2D Darcy groundwater solution with Exner's 1D sediment transport mass conservation equation. As an estimate of sediment transport, we...journal article 2021

van der Krogt, M.G. (author), Schweckendiek, T. (author), Kok, M. (author)During construction of a dike, slope stability often reaches critical levels, due to the excess pore water pressures in the foundation. The loading condition during construction has similarities with the design conditions during flood loading. Not only in terms of the pore water pressures as the main driving force, but also in terms of...journal article 2021

(author)In sports, inertial measurement units are often used to measure the orientation of human body segments. A Madgwick (MW) filter can be used to obtain accurate inertial measurement unit (IMU) orientation estimates. This filter combines two different orientation estimates by applying a correction of the (1) gyroscope-based estimate in the...journal article 2021

Kok, Sjaak (author), Radaelli, G. (author), Amoozandeh, A. (author), Herder, J.L. (author)Elastic neutral stability in compliant mechanisms is a remarkable appearance since it requires the energetic state of the structure to remain unchanged during a deformation mode. Several examples in literature require either plastic deformation or external constraints to be enforced to obtain a state of pre-stress and often require the use of...journal article 2021

Klerk, W.J. (author), Kanning, W. (author), Kok, M. (author), Bronsveld, J. (author), Wolfert, A.R.M. (author)Prioritisation of flood defence maintenance is typically based on visual inspection. However, literature shows that the Probability of Detection (PoD) of visual inspection can vary significantly. Here we investigate the PoD for visual inspections of flood defence structures, the consistency of damage classification, and the influence of...journal article 2021
