Schmeitz, A.J.C. (author), Willemsen, D.M.C. (author), Ellwanger, S. (author)Platooning is a cooperative driving technology for driving in a longitudinal formation. Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication is the key enabling technology. Platooning is considered to be a closed application between well-known participants that use V2V data for their operation. For the deployment of platooning, multi-brand, i.e. interoperable...article 2023

Willemsen, D.M.C. (author), Schmeitz, A.J.C. (author), Mascalchi, E. (author)Truck platooning is the linking of two or more trucks in convoy, using connectivity technology and automated driving support systems. For the wide deployment of platooning, multi-brand, i.e. interoperable, solutions are paramount. To achieve this, the European ENSEMBLE (ENabling SafE Multi-Brand pLatooning for Europe) project has been conducted....article 2023

Godthelp, H. (author)Road crashes cause a huge problem of public health in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). The Safe System approach is generally considered as the leading concept on the way to road safety. Based on the fundamental premise that humans make mistakes, the overall traffic system should be ‘forgiving’. Sustainable safe road design is one of the...article 2023

Varotto, S.F. (author), Mons, C. (author), Hogema, J. (author), Christoph, M. (author), van Nes, N. (author), Martens, M.H. (author)Advanced driver assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control (ACC) and lane keeping system (LKS) potentially contribute to reducing crash rates and traffic congestion. On-road studies based on early ACC systems operational at medium–high speeds only have shown that the system reduces the proportion of short time gaps when activated....article 2022

van Hove, W. (author), dalla Longa, F. (author), van der Zwaan, B. (author)In this paper we identify drivers for energy poverty in Europe using machine learning. The establishment of predictors for energy poverty valid across countries is a call made by many experts, since it could pro vide a basis to effectively target energy-poor households with adequate policy measures. We apply a ‘‘low income, high expenditure”...article 2022

Stapel, J. (author), Happee, R. (author), Christoph, M. (author), van Nes, N. (author), Martens, M. (author)This study reports usage of supervised automation and driver attention from longitudinal naturalistic driving observations. Automation inexperienced drivers were provided with instrumented vehicles with adaptive cruise control (ACC) and lane keeping (LK) features (SAE level 2). Data was collected comparing one month of driving without support to...article 2022

Sharma, S. (author), van Lint, H. (author), Tavasszy, L.A. (author), Snelder, M. (author)Optimizing route choices for truck drivers is a key element in achieving reliable road freight operations. For commercial reasons, it is often difficult to collect freight activity data through traditional surveys. Automated vehicle identification (AVI) data on fixed locations (e.g., Bluetooth or camera) are low-cost alternatives that may hold...article 2022

Burggraaf, J. (author), Groeneweg, J. (author), Sillem, S. (author), van Gelder, P. (author)When a train passes a red aspect, this is called a Signal Passed at Danger event or SPAD. Sometimes it is easy to identify the SPAD cause but in other cases it is unclear why the incident occurred, especially if the system operated as usual and the train driver was trained and experienced just like his or her colleagues. In previous research,...article 2022

Paardekooper, J.P. (author), Comi, M. (author), Grappiolo, C. (author), Snijders, R. (author), van Vught, W. (author), Beekelaar, R. (author)An increasing number of tasks is being taken over from the human driver as automated driving technology is developed. Accidents have been reported in situations where the automated driving technology was not able to function according to specifications. As data-driven Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are becoming more ubiquitous in automated...conference paper 2021

(author)Drivers struggle to understand how, and when, to safely use their cars' complex automated functions. Training is necessary but costly and time consuming. A Digital In-Car Tutor (DIT) is proposed to support drivers in learning about, and trying out, their car automation during regular drives. During this driving simulator study, we investigated...article 2020

Mohamed, S. (author), De, S. (author), Bimpisidis, K. (author), Nathan, V. (author), Goswami, D. (author), Corporaal, H. (author), Basten, T. (author)Image Processing (IP) applications have become popular with the advent of efficient algorithms and low-cost CMOS cameras with high resolution. However, IP applications are compute-intensive, consume a lot of energy and have long processing times. Image approximation has been proposed by recent works for an energy-efficient design of these...conference paper 2019

(author)An increasing amount of vehicles are equipped with driver assistance systems; many of the vehicles currently on the market can be optionally equipped with adaptive cruise control and lane centering systems. Using both systems at the same time brings the vehicle to SAE level-2 automation. This means a driver does not need to perform longitudinal...article 2019
