(author), Sprajcer, A. (author), Toffetti, A. (author), Twisk, D. (author), Wahlgren, A. (author), Ziegler, J. (author)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...report 2017

McCoy, R.W. (author), Chou, C.C. (author), van de Velde, R. (author), Twisk, D. (author), van Schie, C. (author), TNO Industrie en Techniek (author)A computational model of a mid-size sport utility vehicle was developed using MADYMO. The model includes a detailed description of the suspension system and tire characteristics that incorporated the Delft-Tyre magic formula description. The model was correlated by simulating a vehicle suspension kinematics and compliance test. The correlated...conference paper 2007

Been, B.W. (author), van Ratingen, M.R. (author), Janssen, E.G. (author), Twisk, D. (author), TNO Wegtransportmiddelen (author)Pedestrian head form impactors are test devices simulating the human head, used for evaluating pedestrian protection afforded by a passenger car front during a pedestrian-to-car-collision. A 3.5 kg head form impactor was developed representing the head of a range of humans between a 6 year old child and a small female. The technical...conference paper 2002

Rouhana, S.W. (author), Elhagediab, A.M. (author), Twisk, D. (author), Berliner, J. (author), Baayoun, E. (author), Dalmotas, D. (author), Tylko, S. (author), TNO Wegtransportmiddelen (author)In 1998, Rouhana et al. described development of a new device, called the IR-TRACC (InfraRed - Telescoping Rod for Asessment of Chest Compression). Tests have been performed with IR-TRACC units at various labs around the world since 1998. A first-generation was retrofit into a Q3 dummy at TNO. Similarly, a mid sized male Hybrid III dummy thorax...conference paper 2002

Twisk, D. (author), van Ratingen, M.R. (author), Schrooten, M. (author), TNO Wegtransportmiddelen (author)The paper describes the use of FE modeling in the design process of the new Q child dummies, in particular the upper thorax. The model has been used to optimize the design of the ribcage, by making the changes in rib mass, material thickness, properties, etc., so that the dummy response meets the design targets. With the current interest in the...conference paper 1999

TNO Wegtransportmiddelen (author), van Ratingen, M.R. (author), Twisk, D. (author), Schrooten, M. (author), Barnes, A. (author), Platten, G. (author)The Q-series of child dummies is a new family of advanced child dummies covering the complete child population up to 12 years. The 'Q-series' design is not only advanced in terms of its biomechanical basis, it is also developed to be used in both front and side impact making it the first 'multi-directional' series of (child) dummies. This paper...conference paper 1997
