Anand, N. (author), van Duin, R. (author), Tavasszy, L. (author)Congestion, pollution, and safety are some of the most worrisome side-effects of the urban goods movement activities. These problems are generally attributed to the underlying characteristics of the domain such as heterogeneous stakeholders, their conflicting objectives and resulting distributed decision-making. Such autonomous decision-making...article 2014

Peeters, M.M.M. (author), van den Bosch, K. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Meyer, J.J.Ch. (author)An intelligent system for automated scenario-based training (SBT) needs knowledge about the training domain, events taking place in the simulated environment, the behaviour of the participating characters, and teaching strategies for effective learning. This knowledge base should be theoretically sound and should represent the information in a...article 2014

(author), Smith, A.J.E. (author), Versloot, C.A. (author), de Wit, J.J. (author)More and more sensors are getting Internet connected. Examples are cameras on cell phones, CCTV cameras for traffic control as well as dedicated security and defense sensor systems. Due to the steadily increasing data volume, human exploitation of all this sensor data is impossible for effective mission execution. Smart access to all sensor data...conference paper 2013

Peeters, M.M.M. (author), van den Bosch, K. (author), Meijer, J.J.C. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)Serious games offer high potential for immersive, effective, and autonomous training. However, research has shown that trainees need guidance and structure during training. This could be achieved by means of well-chosen scenarios and targeted adaptations of the storyline based on didactic considerations. This paper discusses some of the...conference paper 2012
