Study on safety of non-embedded software; Service, data access, and legal issues of advanced robots, autonomous, connected and AI-based vehicles and systems

As part of the ‘Study on Safety of non-embedded software’ TNO, VVA, and SSSA analysed the legal and business landscape and the challenges and opportunities related to new advanced technologies associated with digitisation and AI. The team studied: The safety of non-embedded software by gathering evidence and analysing the key risks, focusing on...

Integrated framework: d1.1

The MeBeSafe project intends to develop, implement and validate interventions that direct road users (drivers and cyclists) towards safer behaviour in common traffic situations which carry an elevated risk. More specifically, the aim is to change habitual traffic behaviour using different nudging interventions, i.e. subconsciously pushing road...

Towards the automotive HMI of the future: Overview of the AIDE - Integrated project results

The Adaptive Integrated Driver-vehicle interfacE (AIDE) is an integrated project funded by the European Commission in the Sixth Framework Programme. The project, which involves 31 partners from the European automotive industry and academia, deals with behavioral and technical issues related to automotive human-machine interface (HMI) design,...

HMI and Safety-Related Driver Performance

The aim of HASTE is to develop methodologies and guidelines for the assessment of In-Vehicle Information Systems (IVIS). The intention is to devise an assessment regime that is independent of the design of an IVIS and that is based on an evaluation of driving performance while using the system as compared with driving performance when not using...

Pesticides in the cultivation of carnations in greenhouses: Part II - Relationship between foliar residues and exposures

The relationship between the levels of dermal and respiratory exposure to pesticides and the amount of pesticide on the leaves of the plants has been studied during cutting of carnations in greenhouses. The study was focused on four pesticides and performed in 18 farms in the Netherlands. Dermal exposure measured by using long-sleeved cotton...

Risk assessment of dermal exposure of greenhouse workers to pesticides after re-entry

On 18 farms for rose culture in greenhouses in The Netherlands, dermal exposure of hands and forearms to abamectin (avermectin B1), dodemorph (4- cyclododecyl-2,6-dimethylmorpholinium acetate) and bupirimate (5-butyl-2- (ethylamino)-6-methyl-4-pyrimidinyl dimethylsulphate) was measured during crop activities. Dermal exposure during cutting (75...

Blootstelling aan propoxur bij het oogsten van bloemen

Bloemen worden regelmatig met bestrijdingsmiddelen behandeld. Hierdoor kunnen naar schatting 25 000 werkers die bloemen oogsten, worden blootgesteld aan deze middelen. Uit eerder onderzoek blijkt dat dit aanleiding kan geven tot een verhoogd risico op nadelige effecten voor de gezondheid. De risicoschatting is echter gebaseerd op globale...

Pesticides in the cultivation of carnations in greenhouses: Part I - Exposure and concomitant health risk

Respiratory exposure and dermal exposure of the hands and forearms to the pesticides chlorothalonil, thiophanate-methyl, thiram, and zineb during application and during crop activities have been measured on 18 farms for carnation culture in glass-covered greenhouses in the Netherlands. Farms were selected according to a 'worst case' strategy...

Exposure to pesticides: pt 2 The cultivation of roses in greenhouses

On 18 farms for rose culture in greenhouses in The Netherlands dermal exposure of hands and forearms to abamectin, dodemorph and bupirimate during crop activities has been measured. Furthermore, dermal exposure of hands and forearms to abamectin and dodemorph during application by high-volume spraying has been measured. Dermal exposure to...

Exposure to pesticides: pt 1 The cultivation of carnations in greenhouses

On 18 farms for carnation culture in greenhouses in The Netherlands respiratory exposure and dermal exposure of hands and forearms to chlorothalonil, thiophanatemethyl, thiram and zineb during application and following crop activities have been measured. Farms have been selected by a 'worst case' strategy with regard to dermal exposure to...

Inventarisatie naar het voorkomen en gebruik van en blootstelling aan chloroform in Nederlandse bedrijven

Dit is het resultaat van de eerste fase van een aanpak zoals deze is voorgesteld bij de planning en uitvoering van de zg. "Health Hazard Surveys" in de Nederlandse industrie ten aanzien van het vóórkomen van, het gebruik van en de beroepsmatige blootstelling aan chloroform. Hieruit kan worden nagegaan of deze stof een prioritaire status moet...

Inventarisatie naar het vóórkomen en gebruik van en blootstelling aan tetrachloorkoolstof in Nederlandse bedrijven

Dit is het resultaat van de eerste fase van een aanpak zoals deze is voorgesteld bij de planning en uitvoering van zg. "Health Hazard Surveys" in de Nederlandse industrie ten aanzien van het vóórkomen van, de toepassing van en de mate van beroepsmatige blootstelling aan tetrachloorkoolstof. Hieruit kan worden nagegaan of deze stof een...
