Hoe repareer je en maak je op een structurele manier IT-systemen verantwoord, voor de nieuwe toepassingen? Nanda Piersma doet een oproep om dit vraagstuk ook neer te leggen bij de ontwerpers en bouwers van digitale systemen. Hoe kunnen zij IT-systemen bouwen die verantwoord zijn en van waarde in de maatschappij? …

Het gebruik van data voor het inrichten en optimaliseren van dagelijkse- en bedrijfsprocessen heeft een enorme vlucht genomen. Het doel van het gebruik van data is om betere beslissingen te nemen, verbeterde, gepersonaliseerde services aan te bieden of beter inzicht te krijgen.

Green spaces play an important role in urban areas. We study the accessibility of green urban areas by combining open data sets about green with population size data. We develop a mathematical model to define the population density of a green area and calculate the available green space depending on …

While the technical application domain seems to be to most established field for AI applications, the field is at the very beginning to identify and implement responsible and fair AI applications. Technical, non-user facing services indirectly model user behavior as a consequence of which unexpected …

City authorities want to know how to match the charging infrastructures for electric vehicles with the demand. Using camera recognition algorithms from artificial intelligence we investigated the behavior of taxis at a charging stations and a taxi stand.

Smart charging protocols for electric vehicles can help avoid overload and instability in the electrical distribution network and can increase the proportion of locally generated solar energy used for charging. Our results show that the impact of smart charging depends heavily on the technical charging …

Parks are necessary for sustainable urban vitality. We studied the optimal availability of parks by combining open data sets with polygons and classification frameworks from urban planning literature. Both distance and population density should be considered as measures of availability when planning …

A smart charging profile was implemented on 39 public charging stations in Amsterdam on which the current level available for electric vehicle (EV) charging was limited during peak hours on the electricity grid (07:00-08:30 and 17:00-20:00) and was increased during the rest of the day. The impact of …

The city of Amsterdam set the ambitious target of having local zero emission transport in 2025. To achieve this challenging goal, the network of public charging stations needs to be developed. This expansion will increase the load on the local electrical network. To avoid overload and instability in …
