A number of models have been proposed to calculate overpressure and impulse from accidental industrial explosions. When the blast is produced by ignition of a vapour cloud, the TNO Multi-Energy model is widely used. From the curves given by this model, data are fitted to obtain equations showing the relationship between overpressure, impulse and distance. These equations, referred herein as cha...

This thesis is the result of a PhD study carried out between 2003 and 2007 at the University of Twente, faculty of Engineering Technology, Centre for Transport Studies in close collaboration with TNO within the framework of knowledge centre AIDA (Applications of Integrated Driver Assistance). The project is made possible with support of Transumo. Transumo (TRANsition SUstainable MObility) is a ...

In the present work we discuss the results, which our speaker verification system, WCL-1, obtained in the 2003 NFI/TNO Forensic Speaker Recognition Evaluation. These results, together with the ones obtained in the 2003 NIST Speaker Recognition Evaluation, give opportunity for in depth analysis of the various aspects of real-world application of the speaker recognition technology. Based on the d...

We describe the systems submitted to the NIST RT06s evaluation for the Speech Activity Detection (SAD) and Speaker Diarization (SPKR) tasks. For speech activity detection, a new analysis methodology is presented that generalizes the Detection Erorr Tradeoff analysis commonly used in speaker detection tasks. The speaker diarization systems are based on the TNO and ICSI system submitted for RT05s...

Santa Barbara Infrared is working with TNO Human Factors Research Institute to develop the equipment and procedures necessary for a new standardized test method for characterizing electro-optical system performance. This method called Triangle Orientation Discrimination (TOD), offers a statistically more accurate and less subjective method of characterizing electro-optical system performance. T...
