Speeding in motorway work zones lowers the perceived safety of road workers and increases the accident risks of traffic participants. In a work zone, traffic participants share the road with road workers. Road workers are often vulnerable and feel threatened by vehicles passing with high speed. Traffic participants are also at risk since driving...

Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were performed to explore the electrochemical properties of two organic molecules that show promise to serve as affordable and safe anode materials in aqueous sodium-ion batteries. Upon sodium insertion, N,N’ –bis(methyl)- 1,4,5,8-naphthalene diimide (NDMe) appears to share sodium atoms with three...

This research project focuses on the impact of lacking spatial information in the execution phase of Dutch infrastructure projects. In this research project, spatial information is defined as a combination of geometric and geographic object related information. Three construction projects have been examined through case studies and depth...

Rijkswaterstaat (RWS) is responsible for the design, construction, management, and maintenance of the central infrastructure facilities in the Netherlands. To improve project management, RWS developed a management methodology called Integral Project Management (IPM). At the basis of the IPM model are seven construction processes which are...

Glacial isostatic adjustment is the viscoelastic response of the earth to ice sheet loading. Ice dynamic models employ glacial isostatic adjustment to accurately simulate bedrock uplift. In previous studies, ice dynamic models use only a constant relaxation time to predict bedrock uplift. In this study, the aim is to improve an ice dynamic model...

The static stability of stones on mild slopes under wave attack is investigated in this research. The first part of the research is focused on reproducing the physical scale model tests regarding profile change of Kramer (2016) numerically with the model XBeach-G. The erosion profiles modelled with the bed-load transport formulas of Nielsen ...

Solar cells are showing significant promise to become the solution for the growing energy needs of our world. However for this to happen, new disruptive technologies with high efficiency and low cost are needed in the market. One possibility comes from multijunction thin film solar cells based on a-Si alloys and nc-Si. For this purpose a–SiO<sub...

Sediment nourishments have become an attractive alternative to hard measures in counteracting long-term river bed degradation. Due to the large degree of uncertainty concerning mixed sediment morphodynamics, river authorities conduct field studies to collect data that will help in the calibration of morphological models, eventually used to...

Free competition in the insurance markets increases the competitiveness and lowers the premiums. If insurers lower their premiums without having a model that accurately quantifies the expected claim size, they can be in serious trouble. This research aims to accurately model the premiums and quantify the uncertainty involved using historic...

Wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), a relatively new metal 3D-printing technology, allows for fabrication of shapes that were not possible to produce a few years ago. Using 6-axis industrial robots with a gas metal arc welding (GMAW)-head, Dutch start-up MX3D prints metal in every direction mid-air. By welding small parts of material at...

An autonomous vehicle should be able to operate amidst numerous other human-driven vehicles, each driving on its own trajectory. To safely navigate in such a dynamic environment, the autonomous vehicle should be able to predict trajectories of the vehicles operating in its vicinity and use these to plan its own path. Most related work uses a...

An increasing amount of critical applications use DRAM as main memory in its computing systems. It it therefore extremely important that these memories function correctly during their lifetime in order to prevent catastrophic failures. Already during the design phase, the reliability of the circuit needs to be predicted so that a reasonable...

Graphs are used to model irregular data structures and serve as models to represent/capture the interrelationships between data. The data in graphs are also referred as graph signals. Graph signal processing (GSP) can then be applied which basically extends classical signal processing to solve problems. Anomaly detection is an example of such a...

The autonomous filling of creep-induced grain-boundary cavities by tungsten-rich precipitates has been studied for Fe-W alloys at various temperatures, loading conditions and creep rupture times. To this aim, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray nano-tomography were used. Additionally, the effect of local...

A new aviation legislation makes it mandatory for air-carrier pilots to go through stall recovery training on simulators. As a result, new aerodynamic modeling techniques are required to model complex non-linear behavior of the aircraft flight envelope. In 2005, the Multivariate Simplex B-Splines method was developed. MSBS are a true general...
