de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Dodou, D. (author)The last few years have seen a wealth of research on external human–machine interfaces (eHMIs). It has been argued that eHMIs are vital because they fill the social interaction void that arises with the introduction of automated vehicles (AVs). However, there is still much discussion about whether eHMIs are needed. The present article surveys...journal article 2022

Pedone, Livio (author), Bianchi, S. (author), Giovinazzi, Sonia (author), Pampanin, Stefano (author)When dealing with seismic risk assessment at a large scale, the collection of relevant building data is still deemed a challenging task, often leading to limited building knowledge and, consequently, high uncertainties. Therefore, innovative yet standardized frameworks and adaptive tools are needed to support the seismic risk assessment of...journal article 2022

Machairas, Ilias (author), van de Ven, F.H.M. (author)Due to climate change, droughts will intensify in large parts of the world. Drought and its impacts on nature and agriculture have been studied thoroughly, but its effects on the urban environment is rather unexplored. But also the built environment is susceptible to droughts and estimation of its vulnerability is the first step to its...review 2022

Scheffers, Evelien (author)Distribution system robustness estimation is crucial in performing a substantiated trade-off in early-stage ship design. To improve the current robustness estimation, a maritime robustness approach (de Vos, 2018) is compared to and verified by a general network robustness approach (Van Mieghem, 2010). The first studied approach is verified by...master thesis 2021

Hoogmoed, Jim (author)The level of automation in vehicles is growing. But until all vehicles are completely automated, there will be a transition period where automated vehicles and human drivers coexist. Because these road users will coexist, it is necessary that automated vehicles understand human drivers and vice versa. This study aims to create a model that...master thesis 2021

Browarska, Maria (author)In the past few years, the frequency of onset natural disaster has been rising, causing significant damage to communities and infrastructure around the world. When it happens, airports in the region affected have to rapidly adjust and evolve from serving regular passengers to becoming a humanitarian hub, that handles a massive surge in both...master thesis 2021

Pletinckx, Stijn (author)Security misconfigurations and neglected updates commonly lead to systems being vulnerable. Ranging from default passwords to unpatched software, many systems, such as websites or databases, are being compromised due to these pitfalls. Often stemming from human error, it is difficult to avoid these misconfigurations, which is why they are...master thesis 2021

Brom, Daniël (author)Scandals in which governmental ADM tools played a role, have recently brought<br/>about political and societal debate about the potential harms to citizens that such automated systems potentially bring. This thesis focuses on ADM systems which contain an AI component. Based on the knowledge gaps perceived,<br/>the main research question for this...master thesis 2021

Op den Orth, Sara (author)Within the context of the Ethereum blockchain protocol, reentrancy is a well-known and well-researched smart contract vulnerability. However, when considering GoQuorum, an Ethereum soft fork, barely any research discussing smart contract vulnerabilities exists. This report aims to partly fill this research gap by evaluating the reentrancy smart...bachelor thesis 2021

Nguyen, Jakub (author)Nowadays software development greatly relies upon using third-party source code. A logical consequence is that vulnerabilities from such sources can be propagated to applications making use of those. Tools like Dependabot can alert developers about packages they use, which entail vulnerabilities. Such alerts oftentimes turn out to be false...bachelor thesis 2021

Mook, Niels (author)Software reuse in the form of dependencies has become widespread in software development. However, dependencies have the potential to suffer from vulnerabilities, thereby potentially putting depending projects at risk. Dependency analysis software can be used to manage vulnerable dependencies, such as Dependabot. Yet, such programs are generally...bachelor thesis 2021

Tjiam, Kevin (author)Smart contracts on Ethereum enable billions of dollars of value to be transacted in a decentralised, transparent and trustless environment. However, adversaries lie await in the Dark Forest, waiting to exploit any and all smart contract vulnerabilities in order to extract profits from unsuspecting victims in this new financial system. As the...bachelor thesis 2021

Popovici, Tudor (author)Modern software development involves the usage of external third-party software projects as direct dependencies. Nonetheless, developers of a dependant project have no control over critical aspects such as development and testing of the dependency. This can put the reliant repositories at risk through vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by...bachelor thesis 2021

Hoogendoorn, Hugo (author)Sandy beaches can be found all over the world and are on the interface between the sea and the land. Important functions of beaches are the protection of the inland to the forces of the sea and providing local opportunities in recreation. The impact of storm events on the beach is therefore an important topic of research especially with future...master thesis 2021
