Streefkerk, J.W. (author), van Esch-Bussemakers, M. (author), Neerincx, M. (author)Motivation - Automated task allocation systems are prone to errors (e.g. incorrect advice) due to context events. Empirical assessment is needed of how the costs of incorrect task allocation advice relate to the benefits. Research approach - Claims regarding benefits and costs are tested in a team surveillance task in a synthetic task...conference paper 2010

Gunawan, L. (author), Alers, H. (author), Brinkman, W.-P. (author), Neerincx, M. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)Motivation - A situation map that shows the overview of a disaster situation serves as a valuable tool for disaster response teams. It helps them orientate their location and make disaster response decisions. It is, however, a quite complicated task to rapidly generate a comprehensive situation map of a disaster area. In this paper, we report on...conference paper 2010

Schraagen, J.M.C. (author), de Koning, L. (author), Hof, T. (author), van Dongen, K. (author)The goal of this paper is to describe the development of an instrument to measure team situation awareness (TSA). Individual team member SA may or may not be shared through communication processes with other team members. Most existing instruments do not measure these processes but measure TSA as a product. Because team members have access to...conference paper 2010

Hogervorst, M.A. (author), Toet, A. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)We present a new method to render multi-band night-time imagery (images from sensors whose sensitive range does not necessarily coincide with the visual part of the electromagnetic spectrum, e.g. image intensifiers, thermal camera's) in natural daytime colors. The color mapping is derived from the combination of a multi-band image and a...article 2010

van den Broek, A.C. (author), Deves, T.K.G. (author), Neef, R.M. (author), Smith, A.J.E. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)In present-day military security operations threats are more difficult to reveal than inconventional warfare theatres, since they take place during the course of normal life. For example, during maritime missions in littoral environments, acts of piracy, drug trafficking and other threatening events become obscured in the crowd of everyday...conference paper 2010

van Eijk, A.M.J. (author), Degache, M.A.C. (author), de Lange, D.J.J. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)Efficient military operations require insight in the capabilities of the available sensor package to reliably assess the operational theatre, as well as insight in the adversary’s capabilities to do the same. This paper presents the EOSTAR model suite, an end-to-end approach to assess the performance of electro-optical sensor systems in an...conference paper 2010

TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author), Schoemaker, R.M. (author), Sandbrink, R.D.J. (author), van Voorthuijsen, G.P. (author)A priori information on suspicious behaviour is extremely valuable for countering threats involving improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Suspicious activities along routes during expeditionary operations can be monitored by unattended networks using simple sensing nodes that can gather data for continuous monitoring of daily vehicle activity....conference paper 2010

van der Lee, M.D.E. (author), van de Ven, J.G.M. (author), van Rijk, R. (author), Bras, R. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)Recent years have shown an increase in the use of tools that enhance situational awareness. Use of GPS for navigation has become common usage. Furthermore, in many countries vehicle based computer systems are currently being fielded for first responders providing preparative information access. For example in the Netherlands several fire service...conference paper 2009

(author)In de Golf van Aden nabij de kust van Somalië vaart een bootje richting Hr.Ms. Evertsen die op dat moment net buiten de territoriale wateren patrouilleert. Door het slechte weer en de afstand van enkele kilometers kunnen de operators lastig zien om wat voor vaartuig het gaat. Zijn het piraten of is het gewoon een vissersbootje? Dragen de...article 2009
