This deliverable provides a comprehensive description of the development and implementation process of four innovative Situation Awareness capabilities, materialised into four software modules: Augmented Video Fusion Module, Chemical Hazard Module, Damaged Assets Location and Routing, and Portable SA platform. The internal processes of each...

Rapport A: Methode Urban Tools Next II - toelichting op gekozen aanpak voor parkeren, ketens en hubs, nieuwe mobiliteitsconcepten

De grote steden en regio’s in Nederland gebruiken verkeersmodellen om inzicht te krijgen in het effect van diverse ontwikkelingen en interventies. Met name voor de onderbouwing van grotere investeringen spelen deze modellen een zeer belangrijke rol. De huidige geaggregeerde modellen krijgen echter steeds meer moeite met de veranderingen die we...

Actionable situation awareness: Supporting team decisions in hazardous situations

Situation Awareness (SA) has been recognized and studied as an important requirement for an effective task performance of first responders. The integration of increasingly advanced sensor and artificial intelligence technology into the work processes affects the building, maintenance, and sharing of SA. Connecting SA to decision-support models...

Personal exposure to UFP in different micro-environments and time of day

Particulate matter exposure may cause adverse health effects. Although ultrafine particulate matter (UFP) is hypothesised to be particularly health relevant, the number of studies into personal UFP exposure is limited. Aim To increase insight where and when most UFP exposure occurs, in terms of exposure levels and peaks in microenvironments,...

Interventiestudie Gezonde Schoolpleinen: het effect op leerlingen van het herinrichten van schoolplein tot gezond schoolplein

In Nederland vinden we het van groot belang dat kinderen de kans krijgen om zich op gezonde wijze te ontwikkelen. Een belangrijk aspect van een gezonde ontwikkeling is dat kinderen dagelijks voldoende bewegen. Te veel kinderen voldoen helaas niet aan de beweegnorm van dagelijks een uur lichamelijke activiteit. Daarom is het van belang om...

Self Rescue Model-SeReMo-A model to determine the effects of human behaviour and safety measures on the consequences of a hazardous material release-development of the new triage injury model and self-rescue for fire and explosion accidents

Human behaviour during a large-scale hazardous material release can make the difference between life, serious injury and death. People may decide to investigate what is going on or to take shelter, while a toxic or flammable cloud is being released. The Self Rescue Model (SeReMo) has been developed to estimate the consequences of human behaviour...

How many walking and cycling trips made by elderly are beyond commonly used buffer sizes: Results from a GPS study

In choosing appropriate buffer sizes to study environmental influences on physical activity, studies are hampered by insufficient insight into the distance elderly travel actively. This study aims at getting insight into the number of trips walked and cycled within various buffer sizes using GPS measures. Data were obtained from the Elderly And...

Using GPS to measure the interaction between individuals and their neighbourhood

There has been an increasing focus on examining the relationship between neigh-bourhood built environment and health and health behaviours. This is mainly due to the potential of environmental interventions for having a sustained impact on entire population groups rather than a short-term impact on individuals (Giles-Corti et al. 2005). Moreover...

Schoolyard physical activity of 6–11 year old children assessed by GPS and accelerometry

Background Children’s current physical activity levels are disturbingly low when compared to recommended levels. This may be changed by intervening in the school environment. However, at present, it is unclear to what extent schoolyard physical activity contributes towards reaching the daily physical activity guideline. The aim of this study was...

Kwantificering van de effectiviteit van maatregelen voor ongevallen met gevaarlijke stoffen, Fase 1: kwantificeren van aantallen gewonden

Het doel van de studie (fase 1) is het ontwikkelen van een methodiek waarmee de ernst van het letsel en het aantal gewonden berekend kunnen worden ten gevolge van ongevallen met gevaarlijke stoffen. Het gaat daarbij om het opstellen van rekenregels. Het project heeft geresulteerd in een voorstel voor rekenregels voor explosie-, brand- en toxisch...

The development of RISK-NL V5.0 and its applications

Risk-NL is a Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) software tool for the external safety of ammunition storage sites. The Netherlands MoD has asked TNO to upgrade Risk-NL with improved models that have recently been developed, and a new user interface. The new models implemented in Risk-NL v5.0 are more physics-based, and have a higher level of...

An advanced model for spreading and evaporation of accidentally released hazardous liquids on land

Pool evaporation modelling is an important element in consequence assessment of accidentally released hazardous liquids. The evaporation rate determines the amount of toxic or flammable gas released into the atmosphere and is an important factor for the size of a pool fire. In this paper a completely integrated model is described for spreading...
