Haitjema, Marten (author)Most of the injuries sustained by cyclists are due to accidents that do not involve other road-users. This type of accident is known as a single-bicycle accident. A bicycle that is more stable may help to reduce the number of single-bicycle accidents. A balance-assist bicycle is developed at the TU Delft in collaboration with Royal Dutch Gazelle...master thesis 2023

Kouzelis, Antonios (author)Electric vehicles (EVs) equipped with vehicle-integrated photovoltaics (VIPV) and EVs with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology can support in overcoming power grid challenges emerging from the energy transition. Despite the widespread benefits that VIPV and V2G have to offer, their potential impact on battery life governs their economic viability....master thesis 2022

Dabiri, A. (author), Hegyi, A. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The literature on green mobility and eco-driving in urban areas has burgeoned in recent years, with special attention to using infrastructure to vehicle (I2V) communications to obtain optimal speed trajectory which minimize the economic and environmental costs. This article shares the concept with these studies but turns the spotlight on...journal article 2022

Theuwissen, E.A. (author), Schepers, Paul (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hagenzieker, Marjan (author), Nabavi, Martin (author)Cycling contributes to public health because it requires physical effort [1] and offers economic and environmental advantages over motorized transport [2]. However, 41,000 cyclists die every year in traffic crashes, 3% of the total worldwide [3]. Most fatal bicycle crashes are collisions with motor vehicles. Severe injuries among cyclists,...conference paper 2022

Jiménez, Pilar (author), Nogal Macho, M. (author)The first Irish public Bike Sharing Scheme (BSS) was launched in Dublin in 2009. Dublinbikes has been internationally recognised as one of the most successful bike-sharing rental schemes in the world. For this reason, among others, the cities of Cork, Limerick and Galway launched their own BSSs at the end of 2014. The objective of this paper...journal article 2021

Labetski, A. (author), Chum, Antony (author)Introduction: Approximately 2,552 individuals were killed or seriously injured through cycling accidents in the Greater London Area between 2010 and 2015. The purpose of this study is to investigate a wide range of built environmental correlates of cycling accidents resulting in KSI so that we can identify potential areas for targeted...journal article 2020

Spoelstra, A.M.C.M.G. (author), Mahalingesh, N. (author), Sciacchitano, A. (author)An on-site Ring of Fire (RoF) experiment is performed at the Tom Dumoulin bike park in Sittard-Geleen, the Netherlands. The current work investigates the aerodynamic drag of a cyclist following a lead cyclist at different lateral and longitudinal separations; additionally, the athletes’ skills to maintain their position and distance with respect...journal article 2020

Garimella, Raman (author), Moens, Siemen (author), Vleugels, Jochen (author), Huysmans, T. (author), Beyers, koen (author), Verwulgen, Stijn (author)Gaining aerodynamic advantage is crucial in cycling, wherein drag force can account for 90% of resistance to a cyclist. The interaction of wind with the moving human and cycling equipment also contributes to drag. Testing equipment for aerodynamic properties in a wind tunnel is of interest to manufacturers in the sports industry. However, a...conference paper 2020

Spoelstra, A.M.C.M.G. (author), Terra, W. (author), Sciacchitano, A. (author)A novel measurement system, the Ring of Fire, is deployed which enables the aerodynamic drag estimation of transiting cyclists. The system relies upon the use of large-scale stereoscopic PIV and the conservation of momentum within a control volume in a frame of reference moving with the athlete. The rider cycles at a velocity of approximately 8...conference paper 2018

Reijne, M.M. (author), Bregman, D.J.J. (author), Schwab, A.L. (author)Descend technique and performance vary among elite racing cyclists and it is not clear what slower riders should do to improve their performance. An observation study was performed of the descending technique of members of a World Tour cycling team and the technique of each member was compared with the fastest descender amongst them. The...conference paper 2018

Shah, Yash (author)Laser diagnostic techniques such as Particle Image Velocimetry and Particle Tracking Velocimetry to measure the flow of a fluid around an object have been in prevalence for a few decades. Typically, the fluid, whose motion is of interest, is seeded with micron scale particles and illuminated with a laser. Due to scattering inefficiencies of...master thesis 2017

van Doesburg, K. (author)This study responds to cities in the world focussing more and more on implementing a bicycle infrastructure. The bicycle infrastructure is often envisioned to make the city more attractive for the people (again), however a lot of the criteria to design for the bicycle infrastructure are left vague and (too) open for interpretation as ...master thesis 2017

Brouwers, L. (author)The Brisk concept is a cycling suit with unique cooling abilities integrated into fabric. The cooling elements are strategically placed on the side and back of the body, where the cooling sensation is the most enjoyable. With the refreshing cool sensation of the suit the cyclists receive psychological support during their challenges in warm...master thesis 2016

Baines, P.M. (author)There are still important knowledge gaps regarding stability and safety of bicycle riding. Every year around 60,000 people need hospital treatment for single sided accidents in the Netherlands alone. Supporting the need for understanding lateral bicycle dynamics. One of the prominent disturbances on lateral bicycle and rider behaviour is...master thesis 2016

Lommers, C.R. (author)Professional cyclists show a big difference in descending abilities. Eventhough recently research has been conducted on the control of a bicycle [13,19], little is known about the techniques of descending in cycling [[3,6,22]. The aim of this study was to develop measurement equipment which can measure skill and perfor- mance in cycling during...master thesis 2015

Rios Soltero, E.F. (author), Spitas, C. (author), Flipsen, S.F.J. (author), Savelberg, H.H.C.M. (author)Due to the complexity of joints and the difficulty to get accurate position measurements, most biomechanical analyses regarding cycling are based on some basic assumptions. For instance, a fixed distance is often set between the hip joint and the seat. Sometimes, this joint is considered to be coincident with the line of the seat-tube. Other...journal article 2014
