Sciacchitano, A. (author), Caridi, Giuseppe Carlo Alp (author), Scarano, F. (author)Aerodynamics plays a crucial role in cycling as in many other speed sports. Aerodynamic investigation is required primarily for two reasons:<br/><br/>1. Optimization of the athletes' posture and equipment geometry (e.g. bicycle frame, wheels, helmet) to minimize the aerodynamic drag, thus achieving higher velocity;<br/>2. Enhancement of the...journal article 2015

Investigation of the mechanical behavior of biological tissues and biomaterials has been an active area of research for several decades. However, in recent years, the enthusiasm in understanding the mechanical behavior of biological tissues and biomaterials has increased significantly due to the development of novel biomaterials for new fields...book 2015

Bisogni, F. (author)While the discussion about a federal law on data breach notification is ongoing and a rash of large, costly data breaches has galvanized public interest in the issue, this paper investigates on the phenomenon of data breach notification letters. In case of any data breach a company faces a number of dilemmas on how to inform the customers.<br/...conference paper 2015

Zhao, G. (author), Lu, J (author), Visser, P.J. (author)The fluvial river is a kind of open system that can interact with its outside environments and give response to disturbance from outside on the earth. It can adjust itself to the disturbances outside the system and reflects new characteristics in the process of reaching a new equilibrium. The TGD (Three Gorges Dam) constructed at the Yangtze...journal article 2015

Ng, N.H.Y. (author), Mančinska, L. (author), Cirstoiu, C. (author), Eisert, J. (author), Wehner, S.D.C. (author)Quantum thermodynamics is a research field that aims at fleshing out the ultimate limits of thermodynamic processes in the deep quantum regime. A complete picture of thermodynamical processes naturally allows for auxiliary systems dubbed 'catalysts', i.e., any physical systems facilitating state transformations while remaining essentially...journal article 2015

de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Dodou, D. (author), Hancock, PA (author)The science of Human Factors and Ergonomics (HF/E) often relies on self-report. This is a cause for concern because subjective methods are inherently susceptible to bias. Here, we present, examine and discuss a puzzling association between age and self-reported cognitive failures as assessed with Broadbent's Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ...journal article 2015

A quarter of a century of the DBQ: some supplementary notes on its validity with regard to accidentsde Winter, J.C.F. (author), Dodou, D. (author), Stanton, NA (author)This article synthesises the latest information on the relationship between the Driver Behaviour Questionnaire (DBQ) and accidents. We show by means of computer simulation that correlations with accidents are necessarily small because accidents are rare events. An updated meta-analysis on the zero-order correlations between the DBQ and self...journal article 2015

van de Poel, I.R. (author)Values have probably always played a role in engineering design. However, in current practices and design methods, the attention for values in engineering design tends to be implicit and unsystematic. Establishing Design for Values in engineering would require overcoming this situation. This contribution discusses which values play a role in...book chapter 2015

Marquart, Gerhard (author), Cabrall, C.D.D. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)The assessment of mental workload could be helpful to road safety especially if developments of vehicle automation will increasingly place drivers into roles of supervisory control. With the rapidly decreasing size and increasing resolution of cameras as well as exponential computational power gains, remote eye measurements are growing in...conference paper 2015

Bazilinskyy, P. (author), Kyriakidis, M. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Fully automated driving can potentially provide enormous benefits to society. However, it has been unclear whether people will appreciate such far-reaching technology. This study investigated anonymous textual comments regarding fully automated driving, based on data extracted from three online surveys with 8,862 respondents from 112 countries....conference paper 2015

Lu, Z. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)The paper reviews some of the essentials of human-machine interaction in automated driving, focusing on control authority transitions. We introduce a driving state model describing the human monitoring level and the allocation of lateral and longitudinal control tasks. An authority transition in automated driving is defined as the process of...conference paper 2015

van Leeuwen, P.M. (author), Happee, R. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Previous research has shown that novice drivers have underdeveloped vehicle control skills and visual search strategies that differ from those of experienced drivers. However, little is known about how novices’ driving performance and gaze behavior jointly change over the course of practice. In this paper, we investigated changes in driving...conference paper 2015

Di Nucci, Dario (author), Panichella, A. (author), Zaidman, A.E. (author), De Lucia, Andrea (author)Test case prioritization (TCP) is aimed at finding an ideal ordering for executing the available test cases to reveal faults earlier. To solve this problem greedy algorithms and meta-heuristics have been widely investigated, but in most cases there is no statistically significant difference between them in terms of effectiveness. The fitness...conference paper 2015

(author)This paper investigates at an aggregated (macroscopic) scale the effects of route patterns on a road network. Four main variables are considered: the production, the mean speed, the outflow and the mean travel distance. First, a simple network with heterogeneous travel distances between origins and destinationsis studied by simulation. It...conference paper 2015

Duives, D.C. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Our understanding of crowd movements has rapidly improved over the course of the last decades. This study shows that the empirical research has not kept up with the pace of the simulation studies. Based on an extensive literature review, this study proposes a conceptual model describing the movements of individuals within a crowd. The model...conference paper 2015
