Kamerbeek, Huug (author)The accessibility in far offshore wind farms during unplanned maintenance is reported to be insufficient. This system largely consists of daughter craft, small vessels that increase the multitasking capabilities of an SOV. The goal of this research is to improve the accessibility to ultimately increase turbine availability, which is proven in...master thesis 2022

Beekes, Sebastiaan (author)Testing Sidewalk Autonomous Delivery Robot (SADR) performance in real world conditions is important to prove whether the innovation is ready for large-scale adoption. Currently, testing SADRs in public is not allowed in the Netherlands, because little is known about the actual risks associated with delivery robots, and the risks are currently...master thesis 2022

Sijbrandij, Rik (author)It’s August 4 when Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, is hit by one of the largest non-nuclear explosions the world has ever seen. Unfortunately, this explosion that damaged and/or demolished more than half of the city is not the first crisis it has to deal with. Several catastrophes have already plagued Lebanon and its capital during the last century...master thesis 2022

BACHRAS, SERAFEIM (author)Hydrogen is expected to be a significant force in this transition. Hydrogen can be produced using technologies that do not emit CO2 or other greenhouse gasses (“green H2”). Hydrogen can be transported in big quantities and long distances unlike electricity and can play the role of a clean fuel. The emerging hydrogen economy, which will be...master thesis 2022

Riemens, Boyd (author)Throughout history, different intraocular illumination methods for vitreoretinal surgery have been used and the most common limitations to the state-of-the-art intraocular illumination methods are the glare and reflections created by the illumination device and the relatively small illuminated area. A way to tackle these limitations could be by...master thesis 2022

de Gelder, E. (author), Hof, Jasper (author), Cator, Eric (author), Paardekooper, Jan Pieter (author), Camp, Olaf Op den (author), Ploeg, Jeroen (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)The development of assessment methods for the performance of Automated Vehicles (AVs) is essential to enable the deployment of automated driving technologies, due to the complex operational domain of AVs. One candidate is scenario-based assessment, in which test cases are derived from real-world road traffic scenarios obtained from driving...journal article 2022

Augusto da Silva, F. (author), Cantoro, Riccardo (author), Hamdioui, S. (author), Sartoni, Sandro (author), Sauer, Christian (author), Sonza Reorda, Matteo (author)In order to match the strict reliability requirements mandated by regulations and standards adopted in the automotive sector, as well as other domains where safety is a major concern, the in-field testing of the most critical devices, including microcontrollers and systems on chip, is a crucial task. Since the controller area network (CAN)...journal article 2022

Pauwels, A.J. (author), Pourmohammadzia, N. (author), Schulte, F. (author)Next to environmental aspects, establishing areas for safe and economically viable automated driving in mixed-traffic settings is one major challenge for sustainable development of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs). This work investigates safety in the interactions between AVs, human-driven vehicles, and vulnerable road users, including cyclists and...journal article 2022

Alizadehsaravi, L. (author), Moore, J.K. (author)With aging, the sensory, motor, and central nervous system deficiencies lead to inadequate bicycle postural control in older cyclists. Similarly, variety in riding skills leads to different bicycle postural control strategies. Cycling seems to be an automated task but keeping the bicycle stable at low speed, pedaling, and steering requires...conference paper 2022

Boskeljon-Horst, L. (author), Sillem, S. (author), Dekker, S.W.A. (author)There is little empirical evidence on the predictive value of safety culture assessments (SCAs) in relation to how accident-prone an organisation might be. Recently, Antonsen not just demonstrated how a quantitative SCA mispredicted future safety outcomes, but actually showed an inverse relationship between the assessment and subsequent critical...journal article 2022

Dobbe, R.I.J. (author)This chapter formulates seven lessons for preventing harm in artificial intelligence (AI) systems based on insights from the field of system safety for software-based automation in safety-critical domains. New applications of AI across societal domains and public organizations and infrastructures come with new hazards, which lead to new forms of...book chapter 2022

Boskeljon-Horst, Leonie (author), J. de Boer, Robert (author), Sillem, S. (author), Dekker, Sidney W. A. (author)In this study we identify the differences in goal realisation when applying two conflicting paradigms regarding rule perception and management. We gathered more than 30 scenarios where goal conflicts were apparent in a military operational unit. We found that operators repetitively utilized certain routines in executing their tasks in an effort...journal article 2022

Bouchaut, B.F.H.J. (author), de Vriend, Huib (author), Asveld, L. (author)Emerging applications of biotechnology such as new genomic techniques may give rise to new uncertainties and uncertain risks. Particularly the increased complexity and limited knowledge of possible risks associated with these new<br/>techniques, make it currently impossible to perform an adequate environmental risk assessment. As a result, there...journal article 2022

Hamdar, Samer Hani (author), Talebpour, Alireza (author), D’sa, Kyla (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Treiber, Martin (author)Pedestrians are among the travelers most vulnerable to collisions that are associated with high fatality and injury rates. The increasing rate of urbanization and mixed land-use construction make walking (along with other non-motorized travel) a predominant transportation mode with a wide variety of behaviors expected. Because of the inherent...journal article 2022

Bakos, Csanád (author)Transitioning to use automated vehicles is a gradual process. Until full automation capabilities are developed there is a need to mediate which driving entity - human or autonomous driving system (ADS) - should be in control depending on the circumstances. This research aims at investigating the switching between manual and automated driving in...bachelor thesis 2021

Louwerens, Cornee (author)This graduation thesis was executed within the studio New Heritage in which the question was raised whether postmodern architecture can be valued as heritage. Multiple postmodern neighbourhoods suffer from a stigma. Outsiders have a negative image where insiders are much more positive about their neighbourhood.

Metz, I.C. (author)Bird strike prevention in civil aviation has traditionally focused on the airport perimeter. Since the risk of especially damaging bird strikes outside the airport boundaries is rising, this PhD thesis researches the safety potential of operational bird strike prevention involving pilots and controllers. In such a concept, controllers would be...doctoral thesis 2021
