Perceived risk of interaction with e-bikes

E-bikes have gained global popularity due to their environmentally friendly and sustainable attributes, as well as their ability to provide fast speeds and power assistance. However, the increasing popularity of e-bikes has introduced conflicts and crashes with other road users, especially the interaction with conventional bikes, as e-bikes and...

Interaction-aware Planning for Automated Vehicles in the Forced Lane Merging Scenario

Automated vehicles represent an exciting advancement in transportation, offering a range of benefits that have the potential to revolutionize how we travel. They can improve safety, efficiency, accessibility, and sustainability, holding promise for transforming our cities and communities. However, generating safe, comfortable, and efficient...

Growing With Cooler Green: To create a climate mitigating city through forest urbanism

The urban heat island effect refers to increased temperatures in highly developed urban areas and has negative impact for human activities and the social environment. This project aims to address this effect by integrating urban forests into the cityscape, while enhancing the living experience of residents.<br/><br/>The project focuses on...

The hidden boundary

This research design project is aiming to explore the spatial and temporal continuity in Den Helder’s Defence Line boundary area which is acting as a transitional area in-between 3 main residential areas. There's a lot of history behind this defensive line area (hidden boundary) that people don't know. And sometimes this linear space is not...

Exploring the Use of Color in Architecture: An Analysis of Luis Barragan and Le Corbusier’s Design Approaches and Their Influence on Educational Spaces

This paper studies the color application in architecture during the 20th century by Le Corbusier and Luis Barragan through a thorough analysis of case studies such as Cité Frugès, Unité d’Habitation, Casa Gilardi, and the Chapel for the Capuchinas, as well as relevant literature reviews. It then explores how color affects users’ perception of a...

Discontinuous Long Fibre Reinforced Thermoplastic for Additive Manufacturing

Current large-scale additive manufacturing extruders use short reinforcing fibre-filled thermoplastic pellets, which marginally improve the mechanical performance but are too short to exploit the strength of the fibres fully. Long fibre pellets have much higher potential strength, and the development of higher strength materials could create...

Weathering: An alternative way of understanding industrial impact on environment and humans in Yekaterinburg

At present, there are two common ways to understand the impact of industries on the environment. One of them is to abstract statistics from the real industrial pollution scene and base the understanding and decision making on those statistics. The other is to regard the images of industrial landscape as a certain type of aesthetics. Neither of...

Automatic schema classification for Schema-Focused Therapy using k-Nearest Neighbour

Personality disorders affect 1 in 7 adults reducing their quality of life. Schema-focused therapy (SFT) has become very popular in Psychotherapy in the treatment of personality disorders (PD), unfortunately there is still in increasing societal need for such mental healthcare. Automation in the assessment of SFT allows for Ecological Momentary...

The Dutch Origin of Mies van der Rohe: Mies' Dutch experience and how berlage contributed to Mieian architecture

This thesis aims at depicting the Kröller-Müller commission which involved Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) and Hendrik Petrus Berlage (1856-1934), followed by a research of the Berlagian origin in Mies. Firstly, Mies’ short stay in the Netherlands in the summer of 1912 when he was dealing with the Kröller-Müller project is represented in a...

Probabilistic analysis of slope stability in spatially variable soils using Monte Carlo simulation

Soil properties are spatially variable due to the natural deposition process. Because of this inherent spatial variability, a slope can actually fail along any potential slip surface. A single value of Factor of safety cannot account for this variation dominated the slope stability problem. Probabilistic analysis considering the spatial...

Business process automation through ChatBots implementation: A case study of an IT service process at Philips

Nowadays, the term "automation" is gaining extensive interest in both industrial and business fields. There is also a trend of achieving deeper automation in the business processes, which is a part of Business Process Automation (BPA). Among various BPA technologies, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has attracted increasing research attention....

Designing a collaboration platform for effective technical communication

At Shell Innovation, Research and Development Organization (Shell IR&D), technical communication plays a central role of people’s day-to-day business. To do technical communication, most of time, people need to prepare the technical communication materials. However, Shell’s technical communication materials range from film and video to TV, print...

The assessment of dynamic wake effects on loading: Dynamic wake modeling and comparison of methods for wake loading assessment

The wake effect from upstream wind turbines is a hot topic recently and many researches on wake modeling have been carried out in the past few years. The wake models have evolved from the simple semi-empirical approach to the dynamic meandering model using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) codes. However, some of current wake models cannot...

Fast Dissemination for CommentCast in Unstructured Peer-to-Peer Networks

Commenting is an important fundamental functionality offered with video stream- ing service. Users exchange commentaries and report problems about the video content through commenting. Tribler is, however, still lacking of the functionality of commenting. CommentCast is a fully distributed commenting system in Tribler based on the BuddyCast...

Thematische koppeling tussen digitale beelden en geografische informatie systemen

De gehele procedure om een klassieke kaart bij te werken is erg arbeids- en tijdsintensief. Daarbij komt dat niet alle informatie in een gebied op een verantwoorde manier in de kaart weergegeven kan worden. De technische ontwikkeling van een Geografisch Informatie Systeem (GIS) heeft het mogelijk gemaakt om al de informatie omtrent een gebied in...
