Design of a flexible ICT architecture for the integration of Floating Car Data in Rijkswaterstaat’s Traffic Management and Information Systems: A design science research approach

In the last years, Floating Car Data (FCD) has risen as a technology that has the potential to replace legacy sensors, reduce associated installation and maintenance costs and offer new possibilities in the field of traffic management. FCD refers to the use of sources such as in-vehicle systems with network connectivity or road users’ mobile...

Developing a Service Platform for Health and Wellbeing in a Living Lab Setting: An Action Design Research Approach

Applying Agile Design Sprint Methods in Action Design Research: Prototyping a Health and Wellbeing Platform

In Action Design Research projects, researchers often face severe constraints in terms of budget and time within the practical setting. Therefore, we argue that ADR researchers may adopt efficient methods to guide their design strategy. While agile and sprint oriented design approaches are becoming common in the practitioner domain, they have...

Invoice Financing for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises on an Online Platform: An Action Design Research using a Transaction Cost Perspective on Platform Theories applied in a Start-up
