Plat, Benthe (author)This report delves into the challenging process of translating complex tests from the Child Brain Lab into a design that is both accessible and engaging for children. The Child Brain Lab, part of the Erasmus MC Sophia Children’s Hospital, conducts research on brain development to gain a better understanding of the course of brain disorders and...master thesis 2023

Speksnijder, Robert (author)Quantum random walks are the quantum analogs of classical random walks and appear to be promising tools to design fast quantum algorithms. Therefore it is important to study their time-related features and see how these differ compared to the classical case. For the discrete-time quantum walk on the line it has been shown that the probability to...bachelor thesis 2023

Benjert, Zylan (author)We consider the problem of random walks moving around on a lattice Zd with an initial Poisson distribution of traps. We consider both static and moving traps. In the static case, we prove that the survival time has a decay of e−c t d /d +2 based on a heuristic argument. In the moving case we aim to prove the sub-exponential...bachelor thesis 2023

Mortensen, Isabella (author)Post-war shopping malls in the Netherlands are becoming increasingly vacant, which is reflected in the level of activity of the public spaces. These retail-oriented places are becoming less visited as the main reason to come here disappears. This presents a challenge in a compact and densely populated country with a high space demand. With the...master thesis 2023

den Ouden, Ronan (author)Random walks have been used in a number of different fields for a long time. With the rise of of quantum random walks a lot of these applications have been made more efficient. Recently there have been a lot of improvements in the realization of these quantum random walks in real world systems. <br/>In this research, the effect of uncertainty in...bachelor thesis 2023

baron van Voorst tot Voorst, Berend (author)This research aims to understand the influencing attributes of passengers and station layout elements on transfer walking times for metro transfers. Little research has been performed to include passenger-related attributes to model transfer walking time besides station layout elements. Through a literature review, the effect of gender, luggage...master thesis 2023

Zuidmeer, Jenna (author)The paper examines the relationship between the public transport network and urban diversity in Amsterdam using urban mapping and data analysis. The paper presents a hierarchical analysis of the urban diversity outcome, which is based on the computation of the average diversity scores for each geographical area. The Simpson index is used to...student report 2023

Cipriani, A. (author), Dan, Biltu (author), Hazra, Rajat Subhra (author), Ray, Rounak (author)The discrete membrane model is a Gaussian random interface whose inverse covariance is given by the discrete biharmonic operator on a graph. In literature almost all works have considered the field as indexed over Zd, and this enabled one to study the model using methods from partial differential equations. In this article we would like to...journal article 2023

van Mierlo, M. (author), Vlutters, M. (author), van Asseldonk, E. H.F. (author), van der Kooij, H. (author)Spatiotemporal gait characteristics change during very slow walking, a relevant speed considering individuals with movement disorders or using assistive devices. However, we lack insights in how very slow walking affects human balance control. Therefore, we aimed to identify how healthy individuals use balance strategies while walking very...journal article 2023

Jia, Z. (author), Nourian, Pirouz (author), Luscuere, P (author), Wagenaar, C. (author)This study presents a systematic review of the literature on decision support for designing hospital layouts using spatial network analysis and/or simulation modelling. The review includes 102 articles, which are classified into five different categories concerning their layout-related challenges. Specifically, the categories include...review 2023

Perera, Sara (author), Massobrio, R.M. (author)Public transport plays a key role in expanding the distances that people can travel using active modes of transport. Studying walking accessibility to public transportation systems is highly relevant, since the walk to stops/stations can be particularly challenging for children, the elderly, citizens with disabilities, and for the general...conference paper 2023

Calzolari, Davide (author), Della Santina, C. (author), Giordano, Alessandro M. (author), Schmidt, Annika (author), Albu-Schaffer, Alin (author)Animals rely on the elasticity of their tendons and muscles to execute robust and efficient locomotion patterns for a vast and continuous range of velocities. Replicating such capabilities in artificial systems is a long-lasting challenge in robotics. By taking advantage of a pitch dynamics decoupling spring potential, this work aims to...journal article 2023

(author)Humans prioritize regulation of the whole-body angular momentum (WBAM) during walking. When perturbed, modulations of the moment arm of the ground reaction force (GRF) with respect to the centre of mass (CoM) assist in recovering WBAM. For sagittal-plane perturbations of the WBAM given at toe off right (TOR), horizontal GRF modulations and...journal article 2023

Wezeman, Robert S. (author), Neumann, N.M.P. (author), Phillipson, F. (author), Kooij, Robert (author)In this paper we study encounter-based density estimation using different random walks and analyse the effects of the step-size on the convergence of the density approximation. Furthermore, we analyse different types of random walks, namely, a uniform random walk, with every position equally likely to be visited next, a classical random walk...conference paper 2023

Scerri, Karyn (author), Attard, Maria (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Cats, O. (author)Understanding people’s travel behavior is key to creating spaces that discourage car use, especially for short, walkable distances. The scope of this study is to understand better people’s propensity to use a car rather than walk for short-distance trips by focusing on the concept of perceived exertion (PE). A comparison is performed of two...journal article 2023

Sterke, B.T. (author), Poggensee, K. (author), Ribbers, G.M. (author), Lemus Perez, D.S. (author), Vallery, H. (author)Falling is a major cause of morbidity, and is often caused by a decrease in postural stability. A key component of postural stability is whole-body centroidal angular momentum, which can be influenced by control moment gyroscopes. In this proof-of-concept study, we explore the influence of our wearable robotic gyroscopic actuator “GyroPack” on...journal article 2023

The risk profile of road users is a key determinant of their safety on roads. However, the relation of such risk profiles to road users’...journal article 2023

Huisman, Jeffrey (author)The COVID-19 pandemic had a strong impact on travel behaviour and Dutch societal perspectives on that travel behaviour. During 2020 and even the first half of 2021, the number of airplane passengers and train passengers saw a massive drop during the pandemic. The car, while definitely affected early in the pandemic, saw less of a drop and car...master thesis 2022
