Example application of reliability assessment of coastal structures

During the last few decades the believe that absolute security could be provided has been recognized to be mistaken in many branches of engineering. This happens as a consequence of the imperfect predictability of load intensity, structural characteristics and structural behavior, as well as a consequence of human gross errors during the design...

Safety assessment of automated vehicles: how to determine whether we have collected enough field data?

Objective: The amount of collected field data from naturalistic driving studies is quickly increasing. The data are used for, among others, developing automated driving technologies (such as crash avoidance systems), studying driver interaction with such technologies, and gaining insights into the variety of scenarios in real-world traffic....
