Bazilinskyy, P. (author), Merino Martinez, R. (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author), Dodou, D. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Exterior vehicle sounds have been introduced in electric vehicles and as external human–machine interfaces for automated vehicles. While previous research has studied the effect of exterior vehicle sounds on detectability and acceptance, the present study takes on a different approach by examining the efficacy of such sounds in deterring...journal article 2023

Eisma, Y.B. (author), Bakay, A. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Introduction<br/>In the 1950s and 1960s, John Senders carried out a number of influential experiments on the monitoring of multidegree-of-freedom systems. In these experiments, participants were tasked with detecting events (threshold crossings) for multiple dials, each presenting a signal with different bandwidth. Senders’ analyses showed a...journal article 2023

Sensitivity of the seismic response of monopile-supported offshore wind turbines to soil variabilityPanagoulias, S. (author), de Winter, C. (author), Navalkar, S.T. (author), Nernheim, A. (author)The expansion of the offshore wind industry in areas with high seismicity has led to engineering challenges related to the design of the offshore wind turbines (OWTs). Monopiles, i.e., tubular steel piles of large outer diameter, low aspect ratio (penetration depth over outer diameter), and relatively thin pile wall, are traditionally the...journal article 2023

Picco, Angèle (author), Stuiver, Arjan (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author), de Waard, Dick (author)Recent technological advancements allow monitoring of drivers’ behaviour and offer the opportunity for providing feedback. While this approach has been shown to have a positive effect on driver behaviour, whether it is accepted by drivers has not yet been extensively investigated. This questionnaire study examined the opinions of a sample of...journal article 2023

de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Hoogmoed, Jim (author), Stapel, J.C.J. (author), Dodou, D. (author), Bazilinskyy, P. (author)Perceived risk, or subjective risk, is an important concept in the field of traffic psychology and automated driving. In this paper, we investigate whether perceived risk in images of traffic scenes can be predicted from computer vision features that may also be used by automated vehicles (AVs). We conducted an international crowdsourcing...journal article 2023

Vos, J. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Farah, H. (author), Hagenzieker, Marjan (author)Although much research is done on speed and gaze behaviour inside curves, there is little understanding of which cues drivers use to anticipate and slow down while approaching curves. Therefore, an on road experiment was conducted in which 31 participants drove through six freeway curves in their own car. During the experiment, look-ahead...journal article 2023

Milatz, Bas (author), de Winter, Roy (author), van de Ridder, Jelle D.J. (author), van Engeland, Martijn (author), Mauro, F. (author), Kana, A.A. (author)The prediction of the statutory attained subdivision index is a challenging issue for the initial design of ships due to the design freedom offered by a probabilistic damage stability assessment. To this end, optimisation techniques integrated with a parametric model of the internal layout may generate a preliminary subdivision design,...journal article 2023

Kuipers, J.R. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Background: Even though accompanied driving and simulator training are common, clarity on their usage trends and effectiveness is lacking. This research aimed to deepen the understanding of the relationships between personal characteristics, pre-licence accompanied driving, self-reported post-licence driving behaviour, and driving performance...journal article 2023

Saunders-Smits, Gillian (author), Bossen, R.H. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)The increasing global demand for robotics expertise led the Delft University of Technology to launch a two-year Master of Science programme in Robotics in 2020. The programme was designed to educate versatile robotics engineers capable of overseeing the entire process from conception of robotics systems to implementation. The curriculum...conference paper 2023

Driessen, T. (author), Dodou, D. (author), Waard, Dick de (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Trucks are disproportionately involved in fatal traffic accidents and contribute significantly to CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. Gathering data from trucks presents a unique opportunity for estimating driver-specific costs associated with truck operation. Although research has been published on the predictive validity of driver data, such as in...journal article 2023

de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Dodou, D. (author)The last few years have seen a wealth of research on external human–machine interfaces (eHMIs). It has been argued that eHMIs are vital because they fill the social interaction void that arises with the introduction of automated vehicles (AVs). However, there is still much discussion about whether eHMIs are needed. The present article surveys...journal article 2022
