This report describes the development software of the Ship Monitoring and Management system. The Transport sector is one of the biggest sectors in the Netherlands. Products are transported by road, rail and river. Most of the sectors in the transport sector try to reduce the environmental footprint. However …

SGS is an international commercial diving company that specializes in underwater ship repair and maintenance. Through their extensive, globally recognized network of service stations, offices and local assets, SGS is able to provide excellent ship solutions to ship managers at any location. Currently, …

The objective of this study is to gain a better understanding of rider weight and the possible relation-ship regarding lifestyle choices. Firstly equestrian riders were questioned by the use of an question-naire, provided online. Secondly a case study among five riders was carried out by the use of a …

The inland shipping industry contributes substantially to the trade relations between the Netherlands and Germany. The industry is different from other transport modes (rail, road and air) in that ships are more environmentally friendly and cost-effective. Yet, it faces many structural problems that …

The current Dutch Walrus-class submarines count over a hundred hydraulic actuators, including the rudders, the periscope and the integrated torpedo and harpoon system. Al these devices are controlled with petroleum based, and therefore flammable, hydraulic oil. Replacing these hydraulic actuators on …

A rail-guided robotic system is currently being designed for the inspection of ballast water tanks in ships. This robotic system will manipulate sensors toward the interior walls of the tank. In this paper, the influence of rail compliance on the end-effector position error due to ship movement is investigated. …

The EAS conference theme “Craftsmanship & Artistry” confers the image that general music education in 21st western century society moves from a work-based (cf.

In this paper, conflict probing has been proposed as an element of a UAS self separation concept. Conflict probing consists of predicting the future separation between own ship and hazards for a set of own ship velocity vectors -representing possible combinations of Track, Flight Path Angle (FPA) and …
