Woernle, Severin (author)Lower-limb exoskeletons often use trajectory-tracking control to define the device's motion and assistance level. One challenge lies in ensuring a smooth and comfortable interaction between the user and the robotic device by defining a reference trajectory. While recent research has focused on generating individualized gait patterns based on...master thesis 2024

Vos, J. (author)This dissertation explores what road characteristics trigger drivers’ speed adjustments when approaching freeway curves. It combines speed prediction modelling and human factors research methods. The results show that drivers primarily consider visible cues such as the preceding roadway, deflection angle, and the number of lanes, as opposed to...doctoral thesis 2024

Kaur, M. (author)Technological systems and infrastructures form the bedrock of modern society and it is system administrators (sysadmins) who configure, maintain and operate these infrastructures. More often than not, they do so behind the scenes. The work of system administration tends to be unseen and, consequently, not well known. After all, do you think of...doctoral thesis 2023

Burggraaf, J.M. (author)Accidents at work come at a major cost including fatalities, disability and economic burden. The ideas around accident causation have changed over time from describing accidents as ‘acts of gods’ and as the fault of individual employees, to accidents being the result of an interaction between organizational, technical and human factors. Included...doctoral thesis 2023

Kaur, M. (author), Sri Ramulu, Harshini (author), Acar, Yasemin (author), Fiebig, T. (author)In the system and network administration domain, gender diversity remains a distant target. The experiences and perspectives of sysadmins who belong to marginalized genders (non cis-men) are not well understood beyond the fact that sysadmin work environments are generally not equitable. We address this knowledge gap in our study by focusing on...journal article 2023

Yuan, Y. (author), Wang, X. (author), Calvert, S.C. (author), Happee, R. (author), Wang, M. (author)Current driver behaviour models (DBMs) are primarily designed for the general driver population under specific scenarios, such as car following or lane changing. Hence DBMs capturing individual behaviour under various scenarios are lacking. This paper presents a novel method to quantify individual perceived driving risk in the longitudinal...journal article 2023

Kelly, Sage (author), Kaye, Sherrie Anne (author), White, Katherine M. (author), Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author)Participatory data stewardship (PDS) empowers individuals to shape and govern their data via responsible collection and use. As artificial intelligence (AI) requires massive amounts of data, research must assess what factors predict consumers’ willingness to provide their data to AI. This mixed-methods study applied the extended Technology...journal article 2023

Oskina, M.I. (author), Farah, H. (author), Morsink, Peter (author), Happee, R. (author), van Arem, B. (author)The operation of automated vehicles (AVs) on shared roads requires attention concerning their interactions with vulnerable road users (VRUs), such as cyclists. This study investigates the safety of cyclists when they interact with an AV and compares it with their interaction with a conventional vehicle. Overall, 29 cyclists participated in a...journal article 2023

Cuentas-Hernandez, Sandra (author), Li, Xiaomeng (author), King, Mark J. (author), Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author)Introduction: Driver distraction has been recognized for a long time as a significant road safety issue. It has been consistently reported that drivers spend considerable time engaged in activities that are secondary to the driving task. The temporary diversion of attention from safety-critical driving tasks has often been associated with...journal article 2023
