van der Ploeg, C. (author), Smit, R. (author), Teerhuis, A. (author), Silvas, E. (author)Developing safe automated vehicles that can be proactive, safe, and comfortable in mixed traffic requires improved planning methods that are risk-averse and that account for predictions of the motion of other road users. To consider these criteria, in this article, we propose a nonlinear model-predictive trajectory generator scheme, which...conference paper 2022

Bearfield, G. (author), van Gulijk, C. (author), Thomas, R. (author)Safety critical functions of the engineered railway need to perform at levels of integrity that are so high that an acceptable failure rate cannot be demonstrated through testing alone. Where such functions need to be implemented in complex programmable electronic systems certain design, build and test requirements are defined in technical...article 2022

Schoen, E.D. (author), Eendebak, P.T. (author), Goos, P. (author)A conference design is a rectangular matrix with orthogonal columns, one zero in each column, at most one zero in each row and -1's and +1's elsewhere. A definitive screening design can be constructed by folding over a conference design and adding a row vector of zeroes. We prove that, for a given even number of rows, there is just one...article 2019
