Mullakkal-Babu, F.A. (author), Wang, M. (author), van Arem, B. (author), Happee, R. (author)We present a simulation-based approach to assess the safety impacts of vehicles equipped with Automated Driving Systems (ADS) in mixed traffic with Human-driven Vehicles (HV). Specifically, we compare two generic longitudinal strategies of ADS to handle a cut-in: Reactive ADS acting only when the cut-in vehicle crosses the target lane boundary,...journal article 2020

van Beek, Gregory (author)In budding yeast, a certain concentration of the GTPase Cdc42 is optimal for cell division. This optimal concentration depends on the phenotype and genetic background of the cells. Due to bet hedging, the Cdc42 concentration is different between cells in a population and it is expected that the concentration, measured for many cells, is gamma...master thesis 2019

Warmelink, Alexander (author)Mass rapid transit plays an important role in providing a sustainable form of transport in densely populated areas. Public transport operators worldwide are experiencing an increase in popularity of their network and are experiencing ridership growth on their metro networks. To accommodate ridership growth, many transport operators are tasked...master thesis 2019

van de Ketterij, wouter (author)Correction techniques, such as tangential iterative projections (TIP), were developed to reconstruct the image for the whole field of view. However, due to the three dimensional nature of biological tissues, induced aberrations are different throughout the field of view. This Master of Science thesis shows the development of four algorithms....master thesis 2019

Jansen, Joost (author)Block signalling and Automatic Train Protection are two of the main railway safety systems to control the risk of train accidents. The combination of the existing Dutch block signalling system NS’54 and ATP-system ATB-EG is functioning well, but has some drawbacks. The systems have been designed over 60 years ago with proven technology of that...master thesis 2019

(author), Ramunno, Lora (author), Vaccari, Alessandro (author), Berini, Pierre (author), Petrov, Yuriy (author), Danilov, Denis (author)Carbon-based and carbon–metal hybrid materials hold great potential for applications in optics and electronics. Here, a novel material made of carbon and gold–silver nanoparticles is discussed, fabricated using a laser-induced self-assembly process. This self-assembled metamaterial manifests itself in the form of cuboids with lateral...journal article 2019

(author)Sags are roadway sections along which the gradient increases gradually in the direction of traffic. Sags are generally bottlenecks in freeway networks. Previous research suggests that traffic management measures using advanced Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) systems could reduce congestion on freeways, but little is known about their potential...journal article 2019

Shakeel, A. (author), van Kan, Paul J.M. (author), Chassagne, C. (author)A modified version of the commercially available RheOptiCAD® was developed to visualize the microscopic structural changes occurring in concentrated suspensions, such as the break-up of flocs in clay suspensions, under shearing action. This is made possible by replacing the inverted microscope used in the traditional RheOptiCAD® set-up by an...journal article 2019

Hari, S. (author), Verduin, T. (author), Kruit, P. (author), Hagen, C.W. (author)The potential of Electron Beam Induced Deposition (EBID) to become a reliable and reproducible direct-write nanopatterning technique has been investigated. A key requirement is that patterns of sub-20 nm dimension can be reproducibly fabricated and measured. EBID was used for the controlled fabrication of sub-20 nm dense lines on bulk silicon...journal article 2019

van Beinum, A.S. (author), Wegman, F.C.M. (author)Over the years the characteristics of traffic on Dutch motorways has changed, but its design guidelines did not develop as rapidly and large parts remain unchanged since the first guidelines from the 1970s. During the latest revision of the Dutch motorway design guidelines it became clear that a solid and comprehensive theoretical, or...journal article 2019

Coppola, M. (author), Guo, J. (author), Gill, E.K.A. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author)This work proposes PageRank as a tool to evaluate and optimize the global performance of a swarm based on the analysis of the local behavior of a single robot. PageRank is a graph centrality measure that assesses the importance of nodes based on how likely they are to be reached when traversing a graph. We relate this, using a microscopic...journal article 2019

Arat, K.T. (author), Klimpel, Thomas (author), Hagen, C.W. (author)Background: Charging of insulators is a complex phenomenon to simulate since the accuracy of the simulations is very sensitive to the interaction of electrons with matter and electric fields. Aim: In this study, we report model improvements for a previously developed Monte-Carlo simulator to more accurately simulate samples that charge....journal article 2019

Xiao, L. (author), Wang, M. (author), Schakel, W.J. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) systems have the potential to increase roadway capacity and mitigate traffic congestion thanks to the short following distance enabled by inter-vehicle communication. However, due to limitations in acceleration and deceleration capabilities of CACC systems, deactivation and switch to ACC or human...journal article 2018

Belis, Sébastien (author)The Equivalence Principle is today challenged by some theories attempting to unify General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. The MICROSCOPE mission thus intents to confirm or overturn this principle by testing the universality of free fall in space with an unrivaled precision objective of 10^-15. The principle of the test relies on the precise...master thesis 2018

Ras, Wilbert (author)The Wien filter is an important part in the multi-beam inspection microscope that is being developed at the Imaging Physics research group at the TU Delft. The multi-beam inspection microscope uses an array of 20x20 parallel beams with a pitch of 1mmthat scan the sample simultaneously. This way the low throughput of current scanning electron...bachelor thesis 2018

van Beinum, A.S. (author), Farah, H. (author), Wegman, F.C.M. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)In the vicinity of ramps, drivers make route choices, change lanes and in most cases also adjust their speeds. This can trigger anticipatory behaviour by the surrounding vehicles, which are also reflected in lane changes and/or changes in speed. This phenomenon is called turbulence and is widely recognised by the scientific literature and...journal article 2018
