Medisch Biologisch Laboratorium TNO (author), de Kort, W.L.A.M. (author), Fransman, L.G. (author), van Dijk, F.J.H. (author)Several hundreds of thousands of preemployment medical examinations are performed in The Netherlands each year, with the objective of screening for obvious risks for the applicants or others. Neither the efficacy of these examinations nor determinants for rejection are known. Altogether 101,754 preemployment medical examinations of applicants...article 1991

Instituut voor Zintuigfysiologie TNO (author), Godthelp, J. (author)Based on a preview-predictor model, the time-to-line crossing (TLC) description was developed to quantify the potential role of error-neglecting strategies in driving. In a previous study the usefulness of the TLC concept was illustrated for straight lane keeping. In the present analysis TLC was applied to describe steering through a curve. When...article 1986

(author)This report presents the re-evaluation of the raw data of previously published acute inhalation toxicity studies of some volatile industrial chemicals. In these studies both concentration and exposure time were varied. The raw data were obtained from an extensive literature search and were subjected to probit analysis. The results show that the...article 1986

Instituut voor Zintuigfysiologie TNO (author), Godthelp, J. (author), Riemersma, J.B.J. (author)Work zones represent a discontinuity for drivers in terms of driving speed and roadway characteristics. Therefore it is generally accepted that special demands must be made on the traffic devices used in these areas. This paper presents a functional description of delineation systems used in work zones. Based on a theoretical analysis...article 1982

Instituut voor Zintuigfysiologie TNO (author), Veling, I.H. (author)Several new driving knowledge tests and a conventional written test are compared with respect to their correlations with real driving performance. It is found that a theoretical knowledge test, using slides of simple real-traffic situations, correlates higher with real driving performance than the conventional test. Therefore, as a licensing...article 1982
