Paauwen, L. (author)For the past 60 years the warning triangle’s form and function remained virtually unchanged. However, the context in which it operates is significantly changed in terms of traffic density. The opportunity of creating a new context fitting solution emerged. The Austrian company Alarius who initiated this thesis project, envisions truck drivers to...master thesis 2016

Abspoel, R. (author)This master thesis revolves around the development of a personal alarm device for lone workers. A lone worker is somebody who is regularly isolated from their colleagues, without direct supervision. This includes people who often work in isolation, like electricians and warehouse employees. But a worker does not need to be alone in order to be...master thesis 2016

Deun, M.S. (author)This project has been focused on developing a product for cyclists to improve their safety. Cyclists are the most vulnerable traffic participants and are the group of road users with the highest numbers of accidents. Most of these accidents are caused by contact with passenger cars/motorized vehicles. The Dutch rural areas are the most dangerous...master thesis 2016

Stoop, J.A.A.M. (author)Safety is frequently addressed as an emergent property of complex and dynamic systems. This contribution advocates the validity and importance of incorporating intrinsic technological hazards and systemic interrelations from a multi-actor perspective in the early phases of design and development. This perspective creates inherent properties in...journal article 2016

Van Nes, A. (author), De Rooij, L. (author)There is a difference between registered safety and perceived safety. An inquiry was done to register how people use space in three different neighbourhoods from different time periods during a weekday. The following spatial parameters were taken into account: Axial and angular analyses with topological and metrical radiuses of the street and...conference paper 2015

Farah, H. (author), Zatmeh, S. (author), Toledo, T. (author)The rapid increase in the availability of smart phones and other infotainment devices, and their widespread use while driving, contributes significantly to car crash rates. This is since the human brain has limited capacity and cannot perform two tasks at the same time, but rather switches from one to another rapidly. Understanding of the impact...conference paper 2015

Bhatt, K. (author)To an observer, it might appear that anchor handling is a fairly simple straightforward and profit making business. However, with deep-water drilling and fluctuations in price of oil, the operation is becoming riskier than ever before. Besides, operational and environmental constraints, the crew also has to deal with pressures of time and money....master thesis 2015

Duricic, J. (author)The majority of dams constructed in the world are dams that can be categorized as embankment dams. Throughout history we can point to many failures of dams, and embankment dams in particular. Nowadays it is clear that the goal to construct stable dams has not been achieved, even with advanced technologies and construction techniques available....doctoral thesis 2014

Niaounakis, T. (author), Urlings, T.H. (author), van Heezik, A.A.S. (author)Productiviteitstrends in het gevangeniswezen is een studie naar de samenhang tussen regulering en productiviteit in het gevangeniswezen gedurende de periode 1970-2012. De productiviteitsontwikkeling in deze periode vertoont een grillig verloop. Dit blijkt voor een belangrijk deel samen te hangen met de ontwikkeling van de bezettingsgraad. Door...working paper 2014

Paas, J.C. (author)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...master thesis 2014

(author)To study the safety of e-bikes for the elderly, an experimental field study was conducted, using instrumented bicycles and comparing two age groups: older cyclists, n= 29, mean age = 70, SD = 4.2 and middle-aged cyclists, n = 29, mean age = 38, SD = 4.3. All were regular cyclists. They rode a fixed route with a length of about 3.5 km: once on an...conference paper 2013

Van der Meij, R.J. (author)ProRail is trying to increase the capacity of the rail infrastructure since the need for capacity is still growing. One of the ways to do this is by implementing DDDR (Dynamic double non-interrupted braking), which is part of the DSSU project. By implementing DDDR the expectations of the status of the signs of the train drivers might change....master thesis 2013

Xiao, F. (author), Ligteringen, H. (author), Van Gulijk, C. (author), Ale, B.J.M. (author)Collisions are an important factor in probabilistic risk modeling of waterway infrastructures. Especially in the design of bridges and terminals, the probability of ship collision is important. Researchers are looking for simulations that mimic ship behavior and estimate accident probabilities rather than using probabilistic accident models. AIS...journal article 2012
