Inland water vessels are impacted by climate change in two respects. First of all, they will need to convert to low-impact power propulsion and energy (PPE) systems. Secondly, they will need to deal with the impact of climate change, especially longer periods of very low and high water. This paper reviews …

Product service systems (PSS) are an example of a novel business model billed as having the potential to significantly reduce the environmental burdens of production and consumption processes. However, despite widespread interest in PSS, consensus regarding their actual environmental impacts, particularly …

Sensors in offices mainly measure environmental data, missing qualitative insights into office workers’ perceptions. This opens the opportunity for active individual participation in data collection. To promote reflection on office well-being while overcoming experience sampling challenges in terms of …

Dealing with and maintaining high-quality standards in the design and construction phases is challenging, especially for on-site construction. Issues like improper implementation of building components and poor communication can widen the gap between design specifications and actual conditions. To prevent …

In mobile robotics, LASER scanners have a wide spectrum of indoor and outdoor applications, both in structured and unstructured environments, due to their accuracy and precision. Most works that use this sensor have their own data representation and their own case-specific modeling strategies, and no …

Sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS) or nature-based solutions (NBSs) are widely implemented to collect, store and infiltrate stormwater. The buildup of pollutants is expected in NBSs, and Dutch guidelines advise monitoring the topsoil of bio-swales every 5 years. In the Netherlands, almost every …

Autonomous freight transport is becoming an increasingly relevant topic in transport and logistics. Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (or MASS) can sail to varying degrees of autonomy, making “smart” shipping possible and sailing with fewer or even full crew members. MASS is intended to enable shipping …

There is an urgent need to engage with deep leverage points in sustainability transformations—fundamental myths, paradigms, and systems of meaning making—to open new collective horizons for action. Art and creative practice are uniquely suited to help facilitate change in these deeper transformational …

Vroegtijdige detectie van agitatie bij mensen met dementie kan leiden tot tijdige interventies, waardoor verslechtering van de situatie wordt voorkomen en de kwaliteit van leven wordt verbeterd. De opkomst van multimodale detectie en de vooruitgang in kunstmatige intelligentie maken het haalbaar om technologie …

De landbouw in Nederland zorgt voor een netto CO2- en stikstofuitstoot. Om de druk op het milieu te verminderen is het noodzakelijk deze uitstoot te reduceren. Juist uit verse mest gaat veel methaan en stikstof verloren Het is daarom van essentieel belang om verse mest direct te conserveren waardoor …
