Reuten, A.J.C. (author), Smeets, J.B.J. (author), Rausch, J. (author), Martens, M.H. (author), Schmidt, E.A. (author), Bos, J.E. (author)The introduction of (fully) automated vehicles has generated a re-interest in motion sickness, given that passengers suffer much more from motion sickness compared to car drivers. A suggested solution is to improve the anticipation of passive self-motion via cues that alert passengers of changes in the upcoming motion trajectory. We already know...article 2023

Ligterink, N.E. (author), Elstgeest, M. (author), Frateur, T. (author), de Ruiter, J. (author), Paschinger, P. (author)Emission tests in earlier TNO studies show that a small group (6%) of petrol passenger cars, with a malfunctioning three-way catalytic converter, account for a large proportion (36%) of the total NOx emissions of passenger cars. NOx emissions in vehicles with a defective three-way catalytic converter can increase by a factor of 10 or more...report 2022

Baars, M. (author), Hellendoorn, H. (author), Alirezaei, M. (author)In this research a controller is developed that can control path-tracking both within and beyond stable limit handling. The controller is based on the equations of motion of the nonlinear bicycle model. The performance of the controller is evaluated in simulation, a sensitivity analysis is performed and the controller is implemented on a 1/10...article 2021

Boelhouwer, A. (author), van den Beukel, A.P. (author), van der Voort, M.C. (author), Martens, M.H. (author)Partially automated car systems are expected to soon become available to the public. However, in order for any of the potential benefits of automated driving to arise, the driver and car need to establish effective, efficient and satisfactory interactions. Otherwise, the driver may rely too much on the automated car system, leading to dangerous...article 2019

Puylaert, S. (author), Snelder, M. (author), van Nes, R. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Modern cars are increasingly being equipped with automated driving functions. For governments it is important to gain insight in the mobility impacts of automated vehicles. This is important as the introduction of automated vehicles affects current investment decisions about infrastructure projects and other policy measures like road pricing....article 2019

Kuiper, O.X. (author), Bos, J.E. (author), Diels, C. (author), Cammaerts, K. (author)We investigated whether motion sickness analogous to carsickness can be studied in a moving base simulator, despite the limited motion envelope. Importantly, to avoid simulator sickness, vision outside the simulator cabin was restricted. Participants (N = 16) were exposed blindfolded to 15-min lateral sinusoidal motion at 0.2 Hz and 0.35 Hz on...article 2019

(author)Active transport contributes to increased daily physical activity (PA). Car ownership is associated with less frequent active transport and less PA. For business car ownership this relation is unknown. Therefore, we explored whether business car owners and their adult household members comply less with the Dutch moderate to vigorous physical...article 2017

Klunder, G.A. (author), Taale, H. (author), Kester, L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S. (author)This paper describes a study which gives insight into the size of improvement that is possible with individual in-car routing advice based on the actual traffic situation derived from floating car data (FCD). It also gives an idea about the required penetration rate of floating car data needed to achieve a certain degree of improvement. The...article 2017

van den Haak, P. (author), Bakri, T. (author), van Katwijk, R. (author), Emde, M. (author), Agricola, N. (author), Snelder, M. (author)Accurate and reliable traffic state estimations are extremely important for road operators and service providers, because they are the basis for decision making. Traffic movements are generally measured by different types of sensors that are placed in or along the road infrastructure. In this paper, aggregated and anonymized data from Google,...conference paper 2017

Hiemstra-van Mastrigt, S. (author), Kamp, I. (author), van Veen, S.A.T. (author), Vink, P. (author), Bosch, T. (author)New technologies have led to an increasingly sedentary lifestyle. Sedentary behaviour is characterised by physical inactivity and is associated with several health risks. This excessive sitting does not only take place in the office or at home, but also during daily commute. Therefore, BMW AG developed an active seating system for the back seat...article 2015

Hiemstra-van Mastrigt, S. (author)This thesis provides new knowledge on how to design comfortable passenger seats and provides recommendations for design and research. Although the first studies on passenger seat comfort appeared already 40 years ago, the activities and context have changed since then. In this thesis, relationships have been mapped out between activities ...doctoral thesis 2015

van Veen, S.A.T. (author), Hiemstra-van Mastrigt, S. (author), Kamp, I. (author), Vink, P.

Currently, this is the case for the car passengers and-in the future-autonomous driving cars will also facilitate drivers to perform other activities. One of these activities is working with handheld devices. Objective: Previous...article 2014

Berkhoff, A.P. (author), van der Rots, R. (author)Quiet vehicles may be noticed relatively late and therefore constitute a potential risk for vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and bicyclists. The ideal acoustic warning signal generator notifies vulnerable road users while minimizing noise pollution. Several sensor systems exist which are able to reveal the position of the vulnerable...conference paper 2013
