Cats, O. (author), Loutos, G (author)Online predictions of bus arrival times have the potential to reduce the uncertainty associated with bus operations. By better anticipating future conditions, online predictions can reduce perceived and actual passenger travel times as well as facilitate more proactive decision making by service providers. Even though considerable research...journal article 2016

Hamon, B. (author), van Driel, W.D. (author)Human civilization revolves around artificial light. Since its earliest incarnation as firelight to its most recent as electric light, artificial light is at the core of our existence. It has freed us from the temporal and spatial constraints of daylight by allowing us to function equally well night and day, indoors and outdoors. It evolved from...journal article 2016

Li, Y. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author), Vardon, P.J. (author)A method of combining 3D Kriging for geotechnical sampling schemes with an existing random field generator is presented and validated. Conditional random fields of soil heterogeneity are then linked with finite elements, within a Monte Carlo framework, to investigate optimum sampling locations and the cost-effective design of a slope. The...journal article 2016

Liu, K. (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author), Arnold, P. (author)The stability of most earth embankments is strongly influenced by the water content of the soil. The water content directly influences the suction or pore pressure in the soil, as well as the mass of material, thereby affecting the stress state and strength, and leading to changes in the stability. These aspects are coupled by the so-called soil...journal article 2017

Correa-Posada, Carlos M. (author), Morales-Espana, G. (author), Dueñas, Pablo (author), Sánchez-Martín, Pedro (author)The growing increase of renewable generation worldwide is posing new challenges for a secure, reliable and economic operation of power systems. In order to face the uncertain and intermittent production of renewable sources, operating reserves must be allocated efficiently and accurately. Nowadays, these reserves are mainly assigned to thermal...journal article 2017

Christodoulou, A. (author), van Oosterom, P.J.M. (author)In this paper, a method is proposed for solving relative translations of 3D point clouds collected by Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) techniques. The proposed approach uses the attributes of the 3D points to generate and match 2D-projections, by employing a simple correlation technique instead of matching in 3D. As a result, the developed method...journal article 2018

(author)A common challenge with processing naturalistic driving data is that humans may need to categorize great volumes of recorded visual information. By means of the online platform CrowdFlower, we investigated the potential of crowdsourcing to categorize driving scene features (i.e., presence of other road users, straight road segments, etc.) at...journal article 2018

Shipurkar, U. (author), Lyrakis, E. (author), Ma, Ke (author), Polinder, H. (author), Ferreira, Jan Abraham (author)The power electronic converter, especially the power semiconductor, is a major contributor to the failure rates of the wind turbine drivetrain. As the temperature is a major driving factor behind the failure mechanisms of these power semiconductors the choice of topology and switching strategy can have a significant effect on the reliability...journal article 2018

Wang, Q. (author), Giustiniano, Domenico (author), Zuniga, Marco (author)LEDs in our buildings, vehicles, and consumer products are rapidly gaining visible light communication capabilities. LED links however are notorious for being unreliable: shadowing, blockage, mobility, external light, all of these issues can disrupt the connectivity easily. Therefore, unless a reliable and cost-efficient data link layer is...journal article 2018

Experimental results demonstrated that the thickness and the porosity of the sintering layer decreased when the sintering pressure varied from 5 MPa to 30 MPa. This densification phenomenon...journal article 2018

Yazdan Mehr, M. (author), Toroghinejad, M.R. (author), Karimzadeh, F. (author), van Driel, W.D. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)Reduction of intensity of light output is one of the most common degradation modes in light-emitting diode (LED) systems. It starts from the failure of the various components in the system, including the chip, the driver, and optical components (i.e. phosphorous layer). The kinetics of degradation in real life applications is relatively slow...journal article 2018

Mustaffa, Z. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author), Dawotola, A. W. (author), Yu, S. Y. (author), Kim, D. K. (author)This paper presents a method for assessing the reliability of a corroded pipeline placed in series, with special consideration given to the effect of the length scale imposed by each segment of the pipe. The features of corrosion in different pipe segments are statistically correlated; thus, a failure in one section may impact the adjacent...journal article 2018

Corman, Francesco (author), Quaglietta, E. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)Railway transportation provides sustainable, fast and safe transport. Its attractiveness is linked to a broad concept of service reliability: the capability to adhere to a timetable in the presence of delays perturbing traffic. To counter these phenomena, real-time rescheduling can be used, changing train orders and times, according to rules of...journal article 2018

Schouhamer Immink, Kees A. (author), Cai, Kui (author), Weber, J.H. (author)We consider the transmission and storage of encoded strings of symbols over a noisy channel, where dynamic threshold detection is proposed for achieving resilience against unknown scaling and offset of the received signal. We derive simple rules for dynamically estimating the unknown scale (gain) and offset. The estimates of the actual gain...journal article 2018

Nogal Macho, M. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author), O'Connor, A. (author)The concept of intrinsic vulnerability of a traffic network is defined for the first time in this paper. Intrinsic vulnerability is the susceptibility to incidents characterised by a probability of occurrence in space and time of difficult estimation, which can result in considerable reduction or loss of the system functionality. Given the...journal article 2019
