Baptist, V. (author)This chapter develops a layered analysis of the Schiedamsedijk, Rotterdam’s interwar amusement street. It links the street’s split socio-cultural character to that of port cities in general, and investigates this along the lines of a similar divide in perceptions of safety and security. Based on an historical bird’s-eye view of the pleasure area...book chapter 2024

Burggraaf, J.M. (author)Accidents at work come at a major cost including fatalities, disability and economic burden. The ideas around accident causation have changed over time from describing accidents as ‘acts of gods’ and as the fault of individual employees, to accidents being the result of an interaction between organizational, technical and human factors. Included...doctoral thesis 2023

Korenhof, Sophie A. (author), Fang, Yuan (author), Luo, Jie (author), van der Cammen, T.J.M. (author), Raat, Hein (author), van Grieken, Amy (author)Background: Due to the aging population, there is a need for monitoring well-being and safety while living independently. A low-intrusive monitoring system is based on a person’s use of energy or water. Objective: The study's objective was to provide a systematic overview of studies that monitor the health and well-being of older people using...review 2023

Tyagi, Alok (author), Tripathi, Rajesh (author), Bouarfa, S. (author)In the last decade, the aircraft maintenance industry has experienced a paradigm shift in safety management. This is primarily due to the implementation of Safety Management Systems (SMS) in its business practices. The critical facet of such SMS recognizes hazards ahead of time. This review aims to undertake scholarly research to enable the...review 2023

Van Rheenen, E.S. (author), Scheffers, E.L. (author), Zwaginga, J.J. (author), Visser, K. (author)It is essential to use alternative fuels if we are to reach the emission reduction targets set by the IMO. Hydrogen carriers are classified as zero-emission, while having a higher energy density (including packing factor) than pure hydrogen. They are often considered as safe alternative fuels. The exact definition of what safety entails is often...journal article 2023

Oskina, M.I. (author), Farah, H. (author), Morsink, Peter (author), Happee, R. (author), van Arem, B. (author)The operation of automated vehicles (AVs) on shared roads requires attention concerning their interactions with vulnerable road users (VRUs), such as cyclists. This study investigates the safety of cyclists when they interact with an AV and compares it with their interaction with a conventional vehicle. Overall, 29 cyclists participated in a...journal article 2023

Driessen, T. (author), Dodou, D. (author), Waard, Dick de (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Trucks are disproportionately involved in fatal traffic accidents and contribute significantly to CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. Gathering data from trucks presents a unique opportunity for estimating driver-specific costs associated with truck operation. Although research has been published on the predictive validity of driver data, such as in...journal article 2023

(author), Ibanez-Guzman, Javier (author), Li, Guofa (author), Piazzoni, Andrea (author), Wang, Pu (author), Santra, Avik (author)Automotive perception involves understanding the external driving environment and the internal state of the vehicle cabin and occupants using sensor data. It is critical to achieving high levels of safety and autonomy in driving. This article provides an overview of different sensor modalities, such as cameras, radars, and light detection and...journal article 2023

Brink, Wyger M. (author), Remis, R.F. (author), Webb, A. (author)Purpose: High permittivity dielectric pads are known to be effective for tailoring the RF field and improving image quality in high field MRI. Despite a number of studies reporting benign specific absorption rate (SAR) effects, their “universal” safety remains an open concern. In this work, we evaluate the impact of the insulation material in...journal article 2023

Sheykhfard, Abbas (author), Haghighi, Farshidreza (author), Papadimitriou, E. (author), Das, Subasish (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)Although signal countdown timers (SCTs) are likely to enhance efficiency at signalized intersections, there is little research on how they affect road users’ behavior. The present study explores factors associated with driver behavior through two approaches to examine how SCTs influence drivers’ actions toward pedestrians violating red lights....journal article 2023

Boskeljon-Horst, L. (author), Sillem, S. (author), Dekker, S.W.A. (author)There is little empirical evidence on the predictive value of safety culture assessments (SCAs) in relation to how accident-prone an organisation might be. Recently, Antonsen not just demonstrated how a quantitative SCA mispredicted future safety outcomes, but actually showed an inverse relationship between the assessment and subsequent critical...journal article 2022
