Optimising a vehicle's approach towards an adaptively controlled intersection

Traffic emissions at controlled intersections can be reduced when the possibilities of infrastructure-to-vehicle communication are put to good use. In this study the authors present two applications: one infrastructure-based and one vehicle-based that in concert are able to significantly reduce the overall emissions at a controlled intersection....

Harmonization of measurement strategies for exposure to manufactured nano-objects; Report of a workshop

The present paper summarizes the outcome of the discussions at the First International Scientific Workshop on Harmonization of Strategies to Measure and Analyze Exposure to (Manufactured) Nano-objects in Workplace Air that was organized and hosted by the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) and the Institute for...

Use of the MEGA exposure database for the validation of the Stoffenmanager model

Objectives: This paper explores the usefulness of the exposure database MEGA for model validation and evaluates the capability of two Stoffenmanager model equations (i.e. handling of powders/granules and machining) to estimate workers exposure to inhalable dust. Methods: For the task groups, ‘handling of powders and granules’ (handling) and ...
