In a society that relies on individual mobility day to day sufficient methods for area-wide traffic monitoring and guidance are requested. Therefore, large-area traffic monitoring with high spatial and temporal resolution becomes necessary in order to exploit the existing road capacities sufficiently. Moreover, daily commuters are interested in predictions of their travel times to work and back...

An experiment was conducted to determine the influence the time of brush-cutting can have on plant regrowth and attractiveness to herbivores that browse in linear corridors. The influence of cutting time on leaf flush and senescence, shoot morphometry, and biomass was measured for 3 consecutive years after initial brush-cutting. Results indicate that morphological and phenological attributes of...

The available sight distance (ASD) in front of the driver to detect possible conflicts with unexpected obstacles is fundamental for traffic safety. In the last 20 years, road design software (RDS) has been continuously updated with dedicated modules to estimate ASD, thus assessing the quality of project from a safety point of view. Unfortunately, the evaluation of ASD still represents an issue ...

A third of the Dutch highways is monitored and controlled by roadside units. These RSUs are safety-critical systems, as they safeguard roadworks accidents. Therefore, it essential to have guarantees on correctness unit controller. Using supervisory control theory, a correct-by-construction supervisor obtained from model system its requirements. From model, controller implementation can be autom...
