Bieber, M.T. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Santos, Bruno F. (author)Prognostics for condition-based maintenance does not only consist of prognostic algorithms but also involves steps such as data pre-processing, feature extraction, and feature selection, all of which contribute to the quality of the remaining useful life estimation. This process requires a lot of expertise and technical knowledge, which for many...conference paper 2021

Newcamp, Jeffrey M. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Curran, R. (author)Aircraft fleet managers lack tools to aid decision-making for fleets nearing retirement, which leads to rushed and ill-informed decisions. Accordingly, aging aircraft fleets are underutilized and fleets can be retired before their useful lifetime has been expended. A decision support framework is proposed to solve the aging military aircraft...conference paper 2022

Tseremoglou, I. (author), Bieber, M.T. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Santos, Bruno F. (author), Freeman, F.C. (author), van Kessel, P.J. (author)One of the challenges of Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) is to combine health monitoring and predictions with efficient scheduling tools. However, the majority of literature is focusing on the assessment of prognostics algorithms performance. In fact, the added value of these algorithms can only be assessed when considering their impact on...conference paper 2022

Newcamp, Jeffrey (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Curran, R. (author)Individual aircraft tracking data can be used by aircraft fleet managers to detect patterns in historical usage as a means to aid aging aircraft decision-making. This work tackles two aspects of applying these tracking data: investigating retirement patterns and assessing how base assignment can impact usage. The A-10, C-17 and F-35 acquisition...conference paper 2017

Haagmans, G. G. (author), Verhagen, S. (author), Voûte, R.L. (author), Verbree, E. (author)Since GPS tends to fail for indoor positioning purposes, alternative methods like indoor positioning systems (IPS) based on Bluetooth low energy (BLE) are developing rapidly. Generally, IPS are deployed in environments covered with obstacles such as furniture, walls, people and electronics influencing the signal propagation. The major factor...conference paper 2017

Dhanisetty, V.S.V. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Curran, R. (author)Decision making in daily maintenance requires consideration of multiple factors. The importance of each of the factors fluctuates depending on the repair scenario and the needs of the maintainer. In order to include the prioritisation of multiple criteria, a weighted decision making model is developed. The model evaluates all repair options and...conference paper 2017

Verhagen, R.S. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Parlar, C. (author), Vogel, M. (author), Tielman, M.L. (author)For human-agent teams to be successful, agent explanations are crucial. These explanations should ideally be personalized by adapting them to intended human users. So far, little work has been conducted on personalized agent explanations during human-agent teamwork. Therefore, an online experiment (n = 60) was conducted to compare personalized...conference paper 2023

However, in order to effectively leverage the capabilities of both, AI-systems need to be understandable to their human teammates. The branch of eXplainable AI (XAI) aspires to make AI-systems more...conference paper 2021

Integrating Maintenance Work Progress Monitoring into Aircraft Maintenance Planning Decision SupportCallewaert, Pieter (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Curran, R. (author)A decision support framework is proposed, allowing for the integration of aircraft maintenance work progress monitoring into the aircraft maintenance planning decision support process. The framework is able to monitor the progression of planned maintenance by analysing real-time data on work progress. This can be used to explore optimal task...conference paper 2018

Laks, P. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author)This research proposes a decision support tool which identifies cost-optimal maintenance decisions for a given planning period. Simultaneously, the reliability state of the component is kept at or below a given reliability threshold: a failure limit policy applies. The tool is developed to support repair-or-replacement decision making for...conference paper 2018

Newcamp, Jeffrey (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Curran, R. (author)Military aircraft fleets are continuing to age despite increased structural integrity concerns and rising maintenance costs. Aircraft are not being replaced or retired in large numbers but are instead having their lives extended beyond their original design service lives. Because aging aircraft cost more to maintain, this additional burden on...conference paper 2016
