Bakker, A.M.R. (author), Busnach, Tycho (author), Mooyaart, L.F. (author), Van Gijzen, L. (author)The efficacy of risk models and risk analyses critically hinges on sufficient model evaluation. Nevertheless, the usefulness for the intended purpose is rarely systematically assessed. Poor or even lacking model evaluation of the applied risk models and analyses also troubles the asset management of storm surge barriers in the Netherlands. In...conference paper 2023

Parkin, S.E. (author), Kuhn, Kristen (author), Shaikh, Siraj A. (author)The executive leadership in corporate organizations is increasingly challenged with managing cyber-risks, as an important part of wider business risk management. Cyber-risks are complex, with the threat landscape evolving, including digital infrastructure issues such as trust in networked supply chains, and emerging technologies. Moreover,...journal article 2023

Rikkert, S.J.H. (author), Kok, M. (author), Lendering, K.T. (author), Jongejan, R.B. (author)Flood prone areas are often protected against flooding by an extensive network of flood defenses. To ensure their structural integrity, these flood defenses are periodically assessed. Many levees have been functioning well for decades, and have survived several relatively high hydraulic loads within their lifetime. However, information on...journal article 2022

(author)Lower levels of automation are designed to work in specific conditions referred to as the Operational Design Domain (ODD). Beyond these conditions, the human driver is expected to take control. A mismatch between a driver's understanding and expectations of the automated vehicle capabilities and its actual capabilities as prescribed in the...journal article 2020

Bellsola Olba, X. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Vellinga, T. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Ports represent a key element in the maritime transportation chain. Larger vessels and higher traffic volumes in ports might result in higher risks at the navigational level. Thus, the dire need for a comprehensive and efficient risk assessment method for ports is felt. Many methodologies have been proposed so far, but their application to...journal article 2019

Rios Insua, David (author), Couce-Vieira, Aitor (author), Rubio, Jose A. (author), Pieters, W. (author), Labunets, K. (author), G. Rasines, Daniel (author)Risk analysis is an essential methodology for cybersecurity as it allows organizations to deal with cyber threats potentially affecting them, prioritize the defense of their assets, and decide what security controls should be implemented. Many risk analysis methods are present in cybersecurity models, compliance frameworks, and international...journal article 2019

Lendering, K.T. (author), Sebastian, Antonia (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), Kok, M. (author)The application of risk-based approaches for the design of flood infrastructure has become increasingly common in flood management. This approach, based on risk reduction and reliability, is used to assess the performance of conventional interventions (e.g., flood defences and dams) and to support decisions regarding their implementation....journal article 2018

Pan, K. (author), Teixeira, André (author), Cvetkovic, M. (author), Palensky, P. (author)Understanding smart grid cyber attacks is key for developing appropriate protection and recovery measures. Advanced attacks pursue maximized impact at minimized costs and detectability. This paper conducts risk analysis of combined data integrity and availability attacks against the power system state estimation. We compare the combined...journal article 2018

Roelen, S. (author)This thesis proposes a methodology towards quantifying the uncertainty resulting from the density and spatial arrangement of samples and assessing their effect on forecasting key performance indicators, related to dredging and (wet) mining operations. Aside from quantifying this uncertainty, another objective of this research is to develop a...master thesis 2016

Greco, A. (author)Net zero energy is already an ambitious target for several buildings, especially since the DIRECTIVE 2010/31/EU that requires increasing the number of nearly zero-energy buildings. The existing commercial building stock needs to be included, in order to achieve the 2020 EU environmental targets. The main barriers of zero-energy refurbishment of...master thesis 2016

Schoemaker, M.A. (author)The Hollandsche IJssel is a river between Rotterdam and Gouda and is protected from the main river system in the Netherlands by a storm surge barrier. The Hollandsche IJssel experiences several problems: the storm surge barrier dates from 1958 and has a relatively low closure reliability; three quarters of the dikes have been rejected according...master thesis 2016

One main goal is to assess the necessary additional effort to satisfy performance constraints under different scenarios of climate change. In order to be easily deployable by national road...journal article 2016

Zhu, Y. (author), Peng, M. (author), Shi, Z. (author), Zhang, L. (author)The 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake triggered at least 257 landslide dams, most of which formed in series along rivers. The failure of an upstream dam could cause the failure of dams downstream one after another. The cascade dam breaching may result in sharp increase of flood and more serious damage downstream. This paper aims to analyze the...conference paper 2015
