Ferreira de Brito, B.F. (author)Autonomous robots will profoundly impact our society, making our roads safer, reducing labor costs and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and improving our life quality. However, to make that happen, robots need to navigate among humans, which is extremely difficult. Firstly, humans do not explicitly communicate their intentions and use intuition...doctoral thesis 2022

van Berchum, E.C. (author)Manycoastal cities are struggling with a rapidly growing risk of flooding. The sizeand complexity of these cities often demand a coordinated strategy, consistingof a combination of flood risk reduction measures. A crucial part in the designprocess is the identification of effective flood risk management strategies. However,data and resources are...doctoral thesis 2022

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

Tang, Yingjie (author), Mou, Junmin (author), Chen, Linying (author), Zhou, Y. (author)Through the continuous development of intellectualization, considering the lifecycle of ships, the future of a waterborne traffic system is bound to be a mixed scenario where intelligent ships of different autonomy levels co-exist, i.e., mixed waterborne traffic. According to the three modules of ships’ perception, decision-making, and execution...review 2022

Zhilyaev, D. (author), Binnekamp, R. (author), Wolfert, A.R.M. (author)Within traditional design processes, decisions are often made based on individualistic values and late-stage assessments conducted on a predefined set of design alternatives potentially leading to suboptimal design decisions and conflicts. The issues are further amplified by the growing complexity of construction project management where an...journal article 2022

van den Berg, T.G.C. (author), Kroesen, M. (author), Chorus, C.G. (author)Within moral psychology, theories focusing on the conceptualization and empirical measurement of people’s morality in terms of general moral values –such as Moral Foundation Theory- (implicitly) assume general moral values to be relevant concepts for the explanation and prediction of behavior in everyday life. However, a solid theoretical and...journal article 2022

Peschl, M. (author), Zgonnikov, A. (author), Oliehoek, F.A. (author), Cavalcante Siebert, L. (author)Inferring reward functions from demonstrations and pairwise preferences are auspicious approaches for aligning Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents with human intentions. However, state-of-the art methods typically focus on learning a single reward model, thus rendering it difficult to trade off different reward functions from multiple experts. We...conference paper 2022

Ebrahimigharehbaghi, S. (author), Qian, QK (author), de Vries, G. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)The building sector can contribute considerably to reducing global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In the Netherlands, the GHG emissions must be mitigated by 95% by 2050 relative to the 1990 baseline. Various factors, such as low renovation rates cause uncertainties in reaching these targets. The current study aims for investigating the barriers...conference paper 2022

Sattlegger, A.S. (author), van den Hoven, M.J. (author), Bharosa, Nitesh (author)Governments are increasingly using sophisticated self-learning algorithms to automate and standardize decision-making on a large scale. However, despite aspirations for predictive data and more efficient decision-making, the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) also gives rise to risks and creates a potential for harm.
