Bouwmeester, W. (author), Fioranelli, F. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)Incoherent backscattering of mm-waves from natural rough surfaces is considered. A novel method is proposed to determine the statistical properties of surface scattering from range profile measurements. The method is based on modeling the road surface as a grid of uncorrelated scattering elements, described by normalized scattering matrices....journal article 2024

Shoker, Ali (author), Rahli, Vincent (author), Decouchant, Jérémie (author), Esteves-Veríssimo, Paulo (author)Current vehicular Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems either incur high false-positive rates or do not capture zero-day vulnerabilities, leading to safety-critical risks. In addition, prevention is limited to few primitive options like dropping network packets or extreme options, e.g., ECU Bus-off state. To fill this gap, we introduce the...conference paper 2023

Bouwmeester, W. (author), Fioranelli, F. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)The convergence of polarimetric scattering parameters and H, α and A features of road surfaces under various conditions is analysed. It is shown that the number of radar measurements used for surface classification can be traded off with accuracy of the estimation of the mean value and covariance of S-parameters and H, α and A features....conference paper 2023

Bouwmeester, W. (author), Fioranelli, F. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)A method for extracting fully polarimetric statistical properties of road surface radar cross sections is presented. This method is subsequently applied to extract radar cross section information from an asphalt road surface. Furthermore, an approach is introduced to synthesise the scattered signal of road surface returns as measured by a radar....conference paper 2023

Blok, L.G. (author), Kratz, J. (author), Lukaszewicz, D. (author), Hesse, S (author), Ward, C. (author), Kassapoglou, C. (author)Fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) composite materials can provide superior specific energy absorption performance over conventional metallic structures if crush stability can be maintained during the impact event. The core in sandwich structures helps to stabilise the crush front by preventing global buckling, but delamination remains a barrier to...conference paper 2016

Priesnitz, K. (author)For many joining applications, adhesive bonding is the favoured method. It provides the ability to join dissimilar materials such as metals and plastics. Adhesive bonds can be formed over large flange areas subsequently increasing the overall stiffness of the assembly. In some cases, however, the bonding process can lead to distortions, i.e....doctoral thesis 2015

Budde, B. (author), Weber, M. (author)Innovation at several levels is necessary in order to transform the current automotive based transportation system into a more sustainable one. Alternative propulsion systems, like fuelcell, battery-electric or hybrid vehicles were proposed, as green alternatives to the dominant fossil fuel based mobility system. In particular the technological...conference paper 2010

Wever, R. (author), Goemans, M. (author), Bork, S. (author)Multinationals wanting to sell eco-friendly products are advised by the green-marketing literature to apply a socalled linked-benefit strategy [1, 2, p.121], which describes attributes of a product (or service) that are positive for the environment and links those to benefits for the consumer (e.g. convenience, cost-savings). This paper reviews...conference paper 2009

Thuwis, G.A.A. (author), De Breuker, R. (author), Abdalla, M.M. (author), Gürdal, Z. (author)The aim of the present work is to passively reduce the induced drag of the rear wing of a Formula One car at high velocity through aeroelastic tailoring. The angle-of-attack of the rear wing is fixed and is determined by the required downforce needed to get around a turn. As a result, at higher velocity, the amount of downforce and related...journal article 2009

Mulder, M. (author)The research presented in this dissertation focuses on supporting drivers in the longitudinal control of their vehicle during car-following. The goal of the research is the human-centred development of a haptic gas pedal interface that comfortably supports drivers in maintaining a safe separation with a leading vehicle during car-following. Two...doctoral thesis 2007
