Thierry, Martijn (author), Vet, Jasper (author), Uddin, Kazi Burhan (author), Wegman, F.C.M. (author)The lack of good road crash data is a serious obstacle to analysing road safety problems in Low-and Middle-Income countries (LMICs) and this complicates, for example, the sound assessment of road safety interventions. Police crash reports are the main source of crash data, but often have significant limitations. This paper describes a...journal article 2023

Adams, S.J.L. (author), Jarne Ornia, D. (author), Mazo, M. (author)We present a biologically inspired design for swarm foraging based on ant’s pheromone deployment, where the swarm is assumed to have very restricted capabilities. The robots do not require global or relative position measurements and the swarm is fully decentralized and needs no infrastructure in place. Additionally, the system only requires...journal article 2023
