van Meerveld, H. (author), Schoenmaker, R. (author), Wessels, J.F.M. (author), Bakker, J. (author)This paper discusses the development and first testing of a valid, reliable, functional and simple indicator, that represents the long term effect of short term decisions. Such an indicator can assist counteracting short term views in network level asset management decision making. Short-termism or myopia may occur in cases where service level...conference paper 2017

van Breugel, K. (author), Polder, R.B. (author), de Rooij, M.R. (author)For many concrete infrastructural works a service life of 80, 100 or 200 years is required. To convince owners and authorities that these requirements can be met probability-based models for service life predictions have been developed. These models are based on theoretical and experimental laboratory studies. Many of these models focus on the...conference paper 2017

Peelen, W.H.A. (author), Vervuurt, A.H.J.M. (author)Modular expansion joints constitute a substantial part of direct and indirect costs of bridge maintenance. Joint condition assessments can be improved to predict or detect damages earlier. In this way the probability for consequential damages such as emergency repair and a shortened lifespan is reduced. Maintenance can be planned well in advance...conference paper 2017

(author)Quality control during the construction process is one of the determining factors that governs the service life of an asphalt road. In CONSISTEND a predictive tool is developed that objectively determines the effect of quality control during the construction processes on the life span of surface courses of asphalt roads. The tool predicts the...conference paper 2017

Malone, K.M. (author), van Dam, E. (author), Wilschut, E. (author)Intelligent Transport Systems are being developed to improve the safety of cyclists. A trial of one such system, an Intersection Safety system, was held in Helmond, the Netherlands, in March 2015. The trial tested the technical performance of the set-up, as well as the cyclists’ subjective and objective behavior during the tests. Car passengers...conference paper 2017

Their presence and correct functioning translates in benefits and any disruption, malfunctioning or ruptures represent hazards for the community. Most pipelines are buried, which impedes direct monitoring of the structural reliability of the networks. The behavior of the soil...conference paper 2017
