(author)Objectives: Within the chemical legislation, REACH was implemented in order to improve safe working conditions with hazardous substances. Literature and real-life experiences by those concerned have shown that there are still gaps with a need for improved risk communication. This study elaborated on how information provided by REACH is...article 2023

Meima, M.Y. (author), Fransman, W. (author)The Roadmap on Carcinogens aims to create awareness on occupational exposure to carcinogens, and ultimately provide innovative approaches to reduce exposure. One of the challenges of this roadmap (Challenge 4.3) is to gather results, bring together stakeholders and promote the development of SWPs. The current report aims to summarize the status...report 2023

van Kampen, J. (author), Lammers, M. (author), Steijn, W. (author), Guldenmund, F. (author), Groeneweg, J. (author)In the Netherlands, approximately 2.300 workers have a serious reportable accident at work every year, of which around 60 are fatal (Inspectie SZW, 2020; Bellamy et al., 2014). Safety practitioners employ many methods to improve occupational safety for workers within their companies. Interventions might, for example, be aimed at improving...article 2023

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

Peysakhovich, V. (author), Ledegang, W. (author), Houben, M. (author), Groen, E. (author)Eye movements analysis has great potential for understanding operator behaviour in many safety-critical domains, including aviation. In addition to traditional eye-tracking measures on pilots’ visual behavior, it seems promising to incorporate machine learning approaches to classify pilots’ visual scanning patterns. However, given the multitude...conference paper 2022

(author)Background: It is difficult for accident investigators to objectively determine whether spatial disorientation may have contributed to a fatal airplane accident. In this paper, we evaluate three methods to reconstruct the possible occurrence of the somatogravic illusion based on flight data recordings from an airplane accident. (2) Methods: The...article 2022

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
