Piera, Sybe (author)Future human-machine control tasks with preview (e.g., car driving) are expected to include automation for safety, but keep operators in charge for liability. Such shared control applications require time-varying human identification because the control feedback should be compatible with the operator's variable behavior. A promising time-domain...master thesis 2022

den Hertog, Koen (author)Parkinson’s Disease is a neurodegenerative disease that has a decline in motor behaviour as one of its main symptoms. This decline is currently monitored using subjective measures, such as questionnaires and clinical observations. More detailed and objective tracking of this decline can improve treatment of the disease and allow for earlier...master thesis 2022

Scheurwater, Bart (author)Witteveen+Bos as part of construction consortium Nautilus, has prepared the design of a sea defence system in Middelkerke. The very shallow water conditions (h/Hm0 = 0.3) and complex geometry of the structure, i.e. a high berm and stepped revetment, caused uncertainties in the usage of the empirical equations from the EurOtop Manual (2018) for...master thesis 2022

Luijten, Tim (author)Starting in the 1930’s, many research projects have been performed with the intent to establish rules, which can be used to design granular, geometrically closed filter structures for hydraulic structures. However, for the vast majority of these research projects, the filter structure was loaded by uniform flow, either in the parallel or...master thesis 2022

van Leeuwen, Barry (author)Predicting individual skill retention, the extent to which human operators retain learned skills over time is limited by lengthy experiments and identifying patterns in the highly dimensional data. Using machine learning to process this data and find patterns could provide a regression prediction of this data. This paper investigates the use of...master thesis 2022

van Ham, Jacomijn M. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)This paper presents the results of an experiment that was performed to verify the 'supervisory control algorithm', a well-known model of human operator adaptation to changes in controlled element dynamics. This model proposes that human adaptive behavior is triggered once the magnitudes of the tracking error or error rate exceed certain...journal article 2022

Mulder, Max (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van der El, Kasper (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author)Mathematical human control models are widely used in tuning manual control systems and understanding human performance. Human behavior is commonly described using linear time-invariant models, averaging-out all non-linear and time-varying effects, which are gathered into the remnant. These models are limited in their capability to capture...journal article 2022

Mulder, Max (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van der El, Kasper (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author)Cyberneticists develop mathematical human control models which are used to tune manual control systems and understand human performance limits. Neuroscientists explore the physiology and circuitry of the central nervous system to understand how the brain works. Both research human visuomotor control tasks, such as the pursuit tracking task....journal article 2022

Dialynas, G. (author), Christoforidis, Christos (author), Happee, R. (author), Schwab, A.L. (author)Experiments and human rider models were used to investigate bicycle balance and steering using visuo/vestibular motion and proprioceptive feedback taking into account sensory delays. An instrumented steer-by-wire bicycle designed and built at the TU Delft bicycle laboratory was used to investigate rider responses with and with reduced...journal article 2022

Ji, Yiran (author), Zheng, Feifei (author), Du, Jiawen (author), Huang, Yuan (author), Bi, Weiwei (author), Duan, Huan Feng (author), Savic, Dragan (author), Kapelan, Z. (author)Most of the contamination source localization methods for water distribution systems (WDSs) assume the availability of accurate water quality models and multi-parameter online sensors, which are often out of reach of many water utilities. To address this, a novel manual grab-sampling method (MGSM) is developed to effectively and efficiently...journal article 2022

de Jong, M.A. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Mathematical human controller (HC) models are widely used in tuning manual control systems and for understanding human performance. Typically, quasi-linear HC models are used, which can accurately capture the linear portion of HCs' behavior, averaged over a long measurement window. This paper presents a deep learning HC skill-level evaluation...journal article 2022

Kistemaker, Sander (author)The haptic feedback signal in haptic interfaces is usually in the form of a force on the control device. In contrast, the “active side stick”, investigated in the 80s and 90s, uses an admittance display, whereby the position of the device is linked to the feedback signal, and force applied on the device is used as the control signal. These...master thesis 2021

Commijs, Tjeerd (author)Accurate models of driver steering behavior are essential with ever-growing automation in road vehicles. In this project, the effects of driving speed on steering behavior on winding roads are investigated and modeled. Data were collected in a human-in-the-loop curve driving experiment with fifteen participants, who were asked to drive at five...master thesis 2021

de Jong, Martijn (author)To fully optimize the synergy between human operators and machines in modern day’s highly automated vehicle control tasks, a real-time quantitative feedback of skill level is required. Direct feedback of skill level could be used to enable scalable levels of autonomy of the controlled system, or to provide a warning when sudden skill level...master thesis 2021

Sun, Jing (author), Paasch, Jesper M. (author), Paulsson, Jenny (author), Tarandi, Väino (author), Harrie, Lars (author)With the increased interest and demand for 3D property, 3D property formation has shown increased significance. It is important to provide efficient, clear and unambiguous methods to form 3D property units, as well as register 3D property RRRs (rights, restrictions and responsibilities). The 3D property formation process should facilitate...conference paper 2021

Verkerk, Gertjan (author)Despite the increasing amount of automation in manual control tasks, such as driving a car or piloting an aircraft, the human ability to adapt to unexpected events still makes us an essential part of the control loop. Before we can remove the human completely, a better understanding of this unique characteristic is necessary so that we can apply...master thesis 2021

Zhang, Yixiang (author)The warehousing sector is among the top when it comes to the risk of developing work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), in particular low back pain (LBP). In this sector, LBP is a prevalent issue, due to the nature of the job of lifting and moving (heavy) objects around. The issue has significant implications for the workers’ health, in...master thesis 2021

Boogaard, Menno (author)Human force proprioception has previously been shown to be important in manual control tasks. Recent experiments suggest that force proprioception is more accurate than position proprioception. Still, knowledge about proprioceptive qualities and their relevance in manual control is lacking or inconsistent. This research aims to experimentally...master thesis 2021

Bazilinskyy, P. (author), Sakuma, Tsuyoshi (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)An important question in the development of automated vehicles (AVs) is which driving style AVs should adopt and how other road users perceive them. The current study aimed to determine which AV behaviours contribute to pedestrians' judgements as to whether the vehicle is driving manually or automatically as well as judgements of likeability....journal article 2021
