Van der Slikke, R.M.A. (author), Berger, M.A.M. (author), Bregman, D.J.J. (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author)Accurate knowledge of wheelchair kinematics during a match could be a significant factor in performance improvement in wheelchair basketball. To date, most systems for measuring wheelchair kinematics are not suitable for match applications or lack detail in key kinematic outcomes. This study describes the construction of wheel skid correction...conference paper 2015

West, J. (author), Cats, O. (author)Assessment of bus service improvements such as bus lanes, allowing boarding through all doors and headway-based holding control ideally requires a simulation model that combines features of both classical analytical models and microscopic simulation. However, as the usage of such models has been limited, their validity has hitherto remained low....conference paper 2015

Shams Ghahfarokhi, G. (author)Risk and reliability analysis is presently being performed in almost all fields of engineering depending upon the specific field and its particular area. Probabilistic risk analysis (PRA), also called quantitative risk analysis (QRA) is a central feature of hydraulic engineering structural design. Actually, probabilistic methods, which consider...doctoral thesis 2014

Lo, J.C. (author), Van den Hoogen, J. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author)Debriefing is an overlooked topic in the gaming simulation literature, especially in the context of gaming for applied research and design. Building upon existing frameworks, mostly in the fields of policy and educational games, and linking the design of the debriefing with the intricacies of innovation in complex networked infrastructures, we...conference paper 2014

Schweckendiek, T. (author)Dikes and levees play a crucial role in flood protection in deltaic areas such as the Netherlands. Internal erosion piping or under-seepage is a major cause of levee failures and a main contributor to the probability of failure of river levees due to the large (mostly geotechnical) uncertainties. The present thesis investigates how geotechnical...doctoral thesis 2014

Moraes Ramos, G. (author), Frejinger, E. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The past decades have seen an increased interest in the role of information as a tool to alleviate congestion. However, because the relationship between travelers’ behavior and information provision is not clear yet, the need for more experiments has been claimed in literature. From May 9th, 2011 to July 12th, 2011 a revealed route choice...conference paper 2012

Snelder, M. (author), Van Zuylen, H.J. (author), Immers, L.H. (author)There is a growing awareness that road networks, are becoming more and more vulnerable to unforeseen disturbances like incidents and that measures need to be taken in order to make road networks more robust. In order to do this the following questions need to be addressed: How is robustness defined? Against which disturbances should the network...journal article 2012

Scholten, D.J. (author)The reliable operation of energy infrastructures is more than just a technical matter. It is also dependent upon the organizational structure that enables and constrains entities in their management of operations. Yet this lesson seems forgotten in our planning of future renewable energy systems. There, focus is on technical development, market...doctoral thesis 2012

Rajabalinejad, M. (author)This paper presents a generic method for the safety assessments of models with partial monotonicity. For this purpose, a Bayesian interpolation method is developed and implemented in the Monte Carlo process. integrated approach is the generalization of the recently developed techniques used in safety assessment of monotonic models and it...conference paper 2012

Haron, N.Z.B. (author)Emerging nanoelectronic memories such as Resistive Random Access Memories (RRAMs) are possible candidates to replace the conventional memory technologies such as SRAMs, DRAMs and flash memories in future computer systems. Despite their advantages such as enormous storage capacity, low-power per unit device and reduced manufacturing difficulties,...doctoral thesis 2012

Maljaars, J. (author), Steenbergen, R. (author), Abspoel, L. (author), Kolstein, M.H. (author)The assessment of the structural safety of existing br idges and viaducts becomes increasingly important in many countries owing to an increase in traffic loads. Most existing standards, however, are developed for the design of new structures. For this reason, an assessment method for determining the actual safety level of highway bridges and...journal article 2012

Vazifehdan, J. (author)Wireless networks have provided us a variety of services which facilitate communication between people beyond the physical boundaries. Mobile telephony, mobile Internet and high-deffnition video calls are examples of services supported by modern networks nowadays. Beyond this, enhancements in processing capabilities of electronic devices coupled...doctoral thesis 2011

Schweckendiek, T. (author)The reliability of flood defenses is often dictated by large uncertainties in the hydraulic loading and the structural resistance. Additional information decreases uncertainty, however, acquiring it is often costly. One source of information, even though in many cases readily available, is hardly used – survived loads. This article shows how...conference paper 2011

Borodin, D. (author)In this dissertation we address the overhead reduction of fault tolerance (FT) techniques. Due to technology trends such as decreasing feature sizes and lowering voltage levels, FT is becoming increasingly important in modern computing systems. FT techniques are based on some form of redundancy. It can be space redundancy (additional hardware),...doctoral thesis 2010

Hoonhout, B.M. (author), Den Heijer, C. (author)The dune assessment methods used to ensure the safety of the lower areas in The Netherlands are based on simple empirical relations that are, strictly speaking, only valid for infinitely long, uniform and straight coasts. The wide application of these relations is mainly justified due to intentional overestimation of the expected dune erosion....conference paper 2010

Steenbergen, R.D.J.M. (author), Vrouwenvelder, A.C.W.M. (author)Evaluating and upgrading existing structures becomes more and more important. For a large part of the existing infrastructure and buildings the design life has been reached or will be reached in the near future. These structures need to be reassessed in order to find out whether the safety requirements are met. Not only for new structures but...journal article 2010
