Cantarelli, Chantal C. (author), Oglethorpe, David (author), van Wee, G.P. (author)Lock-in is defined as the tendency to continue with an inefficient decision or project proposal. The front-end phase is critical to project success, yet most studies have focused on lock-in in the implementation phase. Moreover, little is known about the way in which decision-makers perceive the risk of lock-in. In this paper we identify...journal article 2021

Leclercq, E.M. (author), Pojani, Dorina (author)Academics have decried the erosion of public space under the neoliberal practices that have taken root since the 1980s in cities around the world. However, it is unclear whether users are concerned about the ownership of the urban spaces they use. To find out, this study surveyed users and observed their behaviour in three types of public...journal article 2021

Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author)The doctoral defense is an important step in the doctoral journey and an essential requirement for obtaining a doctoral degree. Past research on the doctoral defense has focused solely on national practices. In this work, I investigate the potential link between the doctoral defense format based on its major and minor elements and the perception...journal article 2021

Vardar, Y. (author), Kuchenbecker, Katherine J. (author)Electrovibration holds great potential for creating vivid and realistic haptic sensations on touchscreens. Ideally, a designer should be able to control what users feel independent of the number of fingers they use, the movements they make, and how hard they press. We sought to understand the perception and physics of such interactions by...journal article 2021

Individual motion perception parameters and motion sickness frequency sensitivity in fore-aft motionIrmak, T. (author), de Winkel, K.N. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Bülthoff, Heinrich H. (author), Happee, R. (author)Previous literature suggests a relationship between individual characteristics of motion perception and the peak frequency of motion sickness sensitivity. Here, we used well-established paradigms to relate motion perception and motion sickness on an individual level. We recruited 23 participants to complete a two-part experiment. In the first...journal article 2021

Sektani, Hawar Himdad J. (author), Khayat, Mahmood (author), Mohammadi, Masi (author), Pereira Roders, A. (author)Community perceptions and experiences of built heritage are essential in understanding the built heritage and effect in individual and community wellbeing. Subsequently, local perceptions of built heritage directly influence the conservation and heritage-led interventions. This study investigated local perceptions of built heritage in Erbil...journal article 2021

Mazhar, O. (author), Babuska, R. (author), Kober, J. (author)Deep neural networks designed for vision tasks are often prone to failure when they encounter environmental conditions not covered by the training data. Single-modal strategies are insufficient when the sensor fails to acquire information due to malfunction or its design limitations. Multi-sensor configurations are known to provide redundancy...journal article 2021

Pfeiffer, S.U. (author), de Wagter, C. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author)We present a computationally efficient moving horizon estimator that allows for real-time localization using Ultra-Wideband measurements on small quadrotors. The estimator uses only a single iteration of a simple gradient descent method to optimize the state estimate based on past measurements, while using random sample consensus to reject...journal article 2021

Lau, Erica (author), Hou, H. (author), Lai, Joseph H.K. (author), Edwards, David (author), Chileshe, Nicholas (author)While the performance of sports facilities such as swimming pools is crucial to the health, safety and enjoyment of pool users, little research has been conducted to explore how to analytically evaluate the holistic performance of such facilities from the users' perspective. Even an evaluation framework portraying the key performance attributes...journal article 2021

How information stimulates homeowners’ cooperation in residential building energy retrofits in ChinaJia, L. (author), Qian, QK (author), Meijer, F.M. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)The process of residential energy retrofitting needs to be advanced, especially in the hot summer and cold winter (HSCW) zone of China. Good cooperation from homeowners is the key to the smooth project implementation. Some studies have identified four categories of information as important factors affecting homeowners' decision-making in...journal article 2021

Hagenaars, J.J. (author), Paredes-Vallés, Federico (author), Bohté, Sander M. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author)Flying insects are capable of vision-based navigation in cluttered environments, reliably avoiding obstacles through fast and agile maneuvers, while being very efficient in the processing of visual stimuli. Meanwhile, autonomous micro air vehicles still lag far behind their biological counterparts, displaying inferior performance at a much...journal article 2020

(author)Objective: To investigate pedestrians’ misuse of an automated vehicle (AV) equipped with an external human–machine interface (eHMI). Misuse occurs when a pedestrian enters the road because of uncritically following the eHMI’s message. Background: Human factors research indicates that automation misuse is a concern. However, there is no...journal article 2020

The convincing depiction of bunches of grapes is particularly interesting. A convincing portrayal of grapes requires a balanced...journal article 2020

van Zuijlen, M.J.P. (author), Pont, S.C. (author), Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author)Painters are masters of depiction and have learned to evoke a clear perception of materials and material attributes in a natural, three-dimensional setting, with complex lighting conditions. Furthermore, painters are not constrained by reality, meaning that they could paint materials without exactly following the laws of nature, while still...journal article 2020

Jia, L. (author), Qian, QK (author), Meijer, F.M. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)The implementation of energy retrofit of residential buildings faces many risks around the world, especially in China, leading to low retrofit progress. Stakeholders’ proactive risk management is the key to the smooth implementation of retrofit projects but is normally affected by risk perception. Perceived risks instead of real risks are the...journal article 2020
