Shahverdi, Amir Farbod (author), Mostafavi, F. (author), Roodkoly, Sogand Haghighat (author), Zomorodian, Zahra Sadat (author), Homayouni, Hoda (author)As the current environmental crisis and depletion of our energy resources are pushing the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry toward the design and construction of High-Performance (HP) buildings, new organizational and technological methods of practice, such as Integrated Design Process (IDP) and Building Information...journal article 2024

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

van der Meer, Jeroen (author), Hartmann, Andreas (author), van der Horst, A.Q.C. (author), Dewulf, Geert (author)Awareness of design risks is essential for preparing integrated design and construction tenders as decisions in this phase can have serious consequences once the project is awarded. The practice of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) promises to support contractors in dealing with risks in the decision-making process. However, due to...journal article 2022

Building Information - Representation and Management: Principles and Foundations for the Digital EraKoutamanis, A. (author)The book presents a coherent theory of building information, focusing on its representation and management in the digital era. It addresses issues such as the information explosion and the structure of analogue building representations to propose a parsimonious approach to the deployment and utilization of symbolic digital technologies like BIM....book 2022

Zgonnikov, A. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author), Markkula, Gustav (author)Objective: We aim to bridge the gap between naturalistic studies of driver behavior and modern cognitive and neuroscientific accounts of decision making by modeling the cognitive processes underlying left-turn gap acceptance by human drivers. Background: Understanding decisions of human drivers is essential for the development of safe and...journal article 2022

Roelofs, M.N. (author)Technology selection is ubiquitous in all manners of complex systems engineering, design and everyday business operations. Technologies are often complex entities shrouded in uncertainty, assumptions and interpretation. Therefore, quantifying their effect (i.e. outcome) becomes challenging for several reasons. First, as simulations may not be...doctoral thesis 2021

Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Hartog, M.W. (author), Matheus, R. (author), Ding, Aaron Yi (author), Kuk, George (author)Computational artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are increasingly used to support decision making by governments. Yet algorithms often remain opaque to the decision makers and devoid of clear explanations for the decisions made. In this study, we used an experimental approach to compare decision making in three situations: humans making...journal article 2020

Roungas, V. (author), Bekius, F.A. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author)Gaming simulations (games) for policy and decision making have been the neglected “sibling” of educational and training games. The latter have experienced a widespread usage by practitioners and researchers, while the former have had limited, yet slowly increasing, adoption by organisations. As a result, various issues developing and using these...journal article 2020

Valks, B. (author), Arkesteijn, M.H. (author), Koutamanis, A. (author), den Heijer, A.C. (author)At universities worldwide, creating a ‘smart campus’ is gaining significance. This is a response to the increasingly dynamic use of the campus and the pressure on resources: energy, financial and human resources. The university community has become more mobile, student numbers more unpredictable and funding more uncertain. Consequently, campus...journal article 2020

Shi, Qianqian (author), Hertogh, M.J.C.M. (author), Bosch-Rekveldt, M.G.C. (author), Zhu, Jianbo (author), Sheng, Zhaohan (author)The goal of this study is to identify, classify, explore, and understand decision-making complexity elements in major infrastructure projects (MIPs). This article puts forward systematic definitions of decision making, decision-making quality, and decision-making complexity. Based on literature reviews and an in-depth case analysis of Hong...journal article 2020

Introducing a tool to support reflection through sketching and prototyping during the design processJobst, B.S. (author), Thoring, K.C. (author), Badke-Schaub, P.G. (author)Sketching and prototyping are parts of a 'reflective conversation with materials of a design situation' (Schön, 1992). To support this conversation, we developed a reflective tool -the Reflection Canvas- that facilitates reflection activities through sketching and prototyping on the one hand and verbalisation on the other. We introduced the...journal article 2020

McPhail, C. (author), Maier, H. R. (author), Westra, S. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), van der Linden, L. (author)Multiple plausible future scenarios are being used increasingly in preference to a single deterministic or probabilistic prediction of the future in the long-term planning of water resources systems. These scenarios enable the determination of the robustness of a system—the consideration of performance across a range of plausible futures—and...journal article 2020

Borst, C. (author), Somers, V.L.J. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Air Traffic Control (ATC) workload is a limiting factor for air traffic growth, creating a need for objective ATC workload metrics. Previous research has shown that the solution space diagram can be a basis for a workload prediction metric. The current solution space metric however, does not incorporate altitude. In this paper, a 3D solution...journal article 2019

Kooijman, L. (author), Happee, R. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)In future traffic, automated vehicles may be equipped with external human-machine interfaces (eHMIs) that can communicate with pedestrians. Previous research suggests that, during first encounters, pedestrians regard text-based eHMIs as clearer than light-based eHMIs. However, in much of the previous research, pedestrians were asked to imagine...journal article 2019

Kranzbühler, A. (author), Kleijnen, Mirella (author), Verlegh, P.W.J. (author), Teerling, M. (author)Background: Increasing numbers of patients consult Web-based rating platforms before making health care decisions. These platforms often provide ratings from other patients, reflecting their subjective experience. However, patients often lack the knowledge to be able to judge the objective quality of health services. To account for this...journal article 2019

Paulus, D. (author), Meesters, Kenny (author), van de Walle, B.A. (author)In the aftermath of disasters, information is of the essence for humanitarian decision makers in the field. Their concrete information needs is highly context-influenced and often they find themselves unable to access the right information at the right time. We propose a novel ICT-based approach to address these information needs more accurately...conference paper 2018

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
