Urlings, T.H. (author), Blank, J.L.T. (author)Safety has been high on the political agenda for several years. Increased police deployment, heavier sentences, various preventive measures to combat truancy, neighbourhood renewal and strengthening integration are just a small selection of the various policies that are frequently mentioned in the debate on the improvement of safety. Important...working paper 2011

Xiao, F. (author), Ligteringen, H. (author), Van Gulijk, C. (author), Ale, B.J.M. (author)Collisions are an important factor in probabilistic risk modeling of waterway infrastructures. Especially in the design of bridges and terminals, the probability of ship collision is important. Researchers are looking for simulations that mimic ship behavior and estimate accident probabilities rather than using probabilistic accident models. AIS...journal article 2012

Schakel, W.J. (author), Klunder, G. (author), van Arem, B. (author), Harmsen, E. (author), Hagenzieker, M.P. (author)A new advisory ADAS system is implemented in micro simulation to asses the effects on traffic flow as well as on safety. The system uses loop detector data from which situations may be recognized where advices are given to drivers in-car. Advice is given on speed, headway and lane use. Effectively the system allows drivers to respond to...conference paper 2012

Steenbergen, R.D.J.M. (author), De Boer, A. (author), Van der Veen, C. (author)The assessment of the structural safety of existing bridges and viaducts becomes increasingly important in many countries due to the age of the structures and an increase in traffic loads. Many structures need to be reassessed in order to find out whether the safety requirements are met. Most existing standards, however, are developed for the...journal article 2012

Van Hove, P.D. (author)The objective of this thesis is to improve laparoscopic surgical skills training and assessment with an emphasis on equipment-related safety and competence. A comparison was made between a hospital and a petrochemical company and showed that employees at the petrochemical company were trained and certified in equipment handling much more...doctoral thesis 2013

Twisk, D.A.M. (author), Boele, M.J. (author), Vlakveld, W.P. (author), Christoph, M. (author), Sikkema, R. (author), Remij, R. (author), Schwab, A.L. (author)To study the safety of e-bikes for the elderly, an experimental field study was conducted, using instrumented bicycles and comparing two age groups: older cyclists, n= 29, mean age = 70, SD = 4.2 and middle-aged cyclists, n = 29, mean age = 38, SD = 4.3. All were regular cyclists. They rode a fixed route with a length of about 3.5 km: once on an...conference paper 2013

Niaounakis, T. (author), Urlings, T.H. (author), van Heezik, A.A.S. (author)Productiviteitstrends in het gevangeniswezen is een studie naar de samenhang tussen regulering en productiviteit in het gevangeniswezen gedurende de periode 1970-2012. De productiviteitsontwikkeling in deze periode vertoont een grillig verloop. Dit blijkt voor een belangrijk deel samen te hangen met de ontwikkeling van de bezettingsgraad. Door...working paper 2014

Duricic, J. (author)The majority of dams constructed in the world are dams that can be categorized as embankment dams. Throughout history we can point to many failures of dams, and embankment dams in particular. Nowadays it is clear that the goal to construct stable dams has not been achieved, even with advanced technologies and construction techniques available....doctoral thesis 2014

Farah, H. (author), Zatmeh, S. (author), Toledo, T. (author)The rapid increase in the availability of smart phones and other infotainment devices, and their widespread use while driving, contributes significantly to car crash rates. This is since the human brain has limited capacity and cannot perform two tasks at the same time, but rather switches from one to another rapidly. Understanding of the impact...conference paper 2015

(author), Van den Dobbelsteen, J.J. (author)Background Unavailability of instruments is recognised to cause delays and stress in the operating room, which can lead to additional risks for the patients. The aim was to provide an overview of the hazards in the entire delivery process of surgical instruments and to provide insight into how Information Technology (IT) could support this...journal article 2015

Van Nes, A. (author), De Rooij, L. (author)There is a difference between registered safety and perceived safety. An inquiry was done to register how people use space in three different neighbourhoods from different time periods during a weekday. The following spatial parameters were taken into account: Axial and angular analyses with topological and metrical radiuses of the street and...conference paper 2015

Stoop, J.A.A.M. (author)Safety is frequently addressed as an emergent property of complex and dynamic systems. This contribution advocates the validity and importance of incorporating intrinsic technological hazards and systemic interrelations from a multi-actor perspective in the early phases of design and development. This perspective creates inherent properties in...journal article 2016

Araghi, Y. (author), van Wee, G.P. (author), Kroesen, M. (author)Historic vehicles (HVs) are the heritage of road transport that have surprisingly received little attention in the academic literature. This study presents an overview of the literature on HVs, focusing on the three topics that dominate the policy debate on transport: environmental, safety and congestion impacts. We observed that polluting...journal article 2017

Kermisch, C.F.N. (author), Taebi, B. (author)In this paper we suggest considering sustainability as a moral framework based on social justice, which can be used to evaluate technological choices. In order to make sustainability applicable to discussions of nuclear energy production and waste management, we focus on three key ethical questions, namely: (i) what should be sustained; (ii) why...journal article 2017

Koryakovskiy, I. (author), Vallery, H. (author), Babuska, R. (author), Caarls, W. (author)Reinforcement learning techniques enable robots to deal with their own dynamics and with unknown environments without using explicit models or preprogrammed behaviors. However, reinforcement learning relies on intrinsically risky exploration, which is often damaging for physical systems. In the case of the bipedal walking robot Leo, which is...journal article 2017
