(author), Ibanez-Guzman, Javier (author), Li, Guofa (author), Piazzoni, Andrea (author), Wang, Pu (author), Santra, Avik (author)Automotive perception involves understanding the external driving environment and the internal state of the vehicle cabin and occupants using sensor data. It is critical to achieving high levels of safety and autonomy in driving. This article provides an overview of different sensor modalities, such as cameras, radars, and light detection and...journal article 2023

Nouws, S.J.J. (author), Martinez de Rituerto de Troya, I. (author), Dobbe, R.I.J. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)Algorithmic and data-driven systems are increasingly used in the public sector to improve the efficiency of existing services or to provide new services through the newfound capacity to process vast volumes of data. Unfortunately, certain instances also have negative consequences for citizens, in the form of discriminatory outcomes, arbitrary...conference paper 2023

Tešić, Milan (author), Miladić-Tešić, Suzana (author), Folla, Katerina (author), Yannis, George (author), Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author)Driver behavior is a key determinant of road safety. Risky behaviors can be measured and quantified using traditional and modern methods, which enables the assessment of the driver's behavior. Following lessons from safety science, it is important to analyse and manage risks factors to optimize interventions in the transport context at the...journal article 2023

Truelove, Verity (author), Nicolls, Michelle (author), Stefanidis, Kayla B. (author), Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author)Introduction: One of the primary countermeasures in place to prevent road rule violations is legal enforcement, yet there are numerous applications that can undermine such efforts by notifying drivers of enforcement locations. However, the capabilities of these applications and how they can impact offending behavior is currently unknown. Method:...journal article 2023

Czechowski, A.T. (author), Oliehoek, F.A. (author)One of the main challenges of multi-agent learning lies in establishing convergence of the algorithms, as, in general, a collection of individual, self-serving agents is not guaranteed to converge with their joint policy, when learning concurrently. This is in stark contrast to most single-agent environments, and sets a prohibitive barrier...journal article 2023

(author)Surrogate Safety Measures (SSMs) are used to express road safety in terms of the safety risk in traffic conflicts. Typically, SSMs rely on assumptions regarding the future evolution of traffic participant trajectories to generate a measure of risk, restricting their applicability to scenarios where these assumptions are valid. In response to...journal article 2023

van der Beek, Dolf (author), Steijn, Wouter Martinus Petrus (author), Groeneweg, J. (author)In this article, the authors apply the intervention mapping (IM) protocol to develop safety leadership training for a rail infrastructure maintenance company. The IM protocol helps to create an evidence-based intervention in a structured way, based on concrete evidence. The application of IM within the occupational safety domain is limited, a...journal article 2023

Yang, Fuqiang (author), Li, Xin (author), Yuan, S. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)Targeting the challenges in the risk analysis of laboratory fire accidents, particularly considering fire accidents in Chinese universities, an integrated approach is proposed with the combination of association rule learning, a Bayesian network (BN), and fuzzy set theory in this study. The proposed approach has the main advantages of deriving...journal article 2023

Hasan, Razi (author), Watson, Barry (author), Haworth, Narelle (author), Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author)Drug driving is recognised as a major road safety problem in many countries. In Australia, the primary response to this problem involved the adoption of roadside drug testing (RDT), which was modelled on the policies and practices used to conduct random breath testing (RBT) for alcohol. However, there remain important differences in the way that...journal article 2023

Piazzoni, Andrea (author), Cherian, Jim (author), Dauwels, J.H.G. (author), Chau, Lap Pui (author)Even though virtual testing of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) has been well recognized as essential for safety assessment, AV simulators are still undergoing active development. One particular challenge is the problem of including the Sensing and Perception (S&P) subsystem into the virtual simulation loop in an efficient and effective manner....journal article 2023

Freese, M. (author), van Vliet, Karen (author)Organizations will go through great lengths to prevent accidents from occurring. This is shown in the implementation of safety management systems in which all procedures are captured describing how work can be done safely. Stopping the work is seen as one of the last barriers in risk management. Our theoretical analyses and conducted interviews...conference paper 2023

van Asten, T. (author), Milias, V. (author), Bozzon, A. (author), Psyllidis, A. (author)Neighborhood safety and its perception are important determinants of citizens’ health and well-being. Contemporary urban design guidelines often advocate urban forms that encourage natural surveillance or “eyes on the street” to promote community safety. However, assessing a neighborhood’s level of natural surveillance is challenging due to its...book chapter 2023

(author)The use of refrigerants has been continuously increasing in thermal control systems employed in residential premises, offices, storage, process operations and many more. Widely used refrigerants such as R-410A have become a target for regulations to prohibit their use because of environmental issues. R-410A is a blend of R-32 (Difluoromethane...book chapter 2023
