Smart Dynamic Traffic Monitoring and Enforcement System Universiteit Hasselt
Enforcement of trafc rules and regulations involves a wide range of complex tasks, many of which demand the use of modern technologies. variable speed limits (VSL) control is to change the current speed limit according to the current trafc situation based on the observed trafc conditions. The aim of this study is to provide a simulation-based methodological framework to evaluate (VSL) as an effective Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) ...
A Smart Machine for Selective Laser Melting - A Controlled & Synchronized System Approach KU Leuven
The main objective of this dissertation is to improve the robustness of the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process and eliminate machine variant quality behavior. This is realized by examining the components that are mainly responsible to form a melt-pool and thus directly influence the melt pool quality. To improve the robustness of the SLM process, the galvano scanner and laser source are dynamically improved and synchronized to form a ...
Improved Traffic Flow Efficiency During Yellow Interval at Signalized Intersections Using a Smart Countdown System Universiteit Hasselt
Inadequate and unnecessary stopping at signalized intersections reduces operational efficiency. The study aims at investigating the effect of a smart advanced warning system on driving behavior and the efficiency of signalized intersections. A green LED dynamic light (G-LED) system (combined system with countdown strategy) is developed and evaluated by means of a driving simulator experiment. The efficiency of the proposed system is compared ...
Smart wearables as friends or foes? Engaging employees along smart journeys Universiteit Gent
To fully exploit the potential of smart wearables for organizations to boost service productivity while keeping up with customers’ needs (Henkens et al. 2022), researchers and practitioners emphasize the importance of embedding them into their employees’ routines (Mele et al. 2023). Yet, not all employees are open to changing their routines for smart wearables, especially when working pressure is souring (Schein and Rauschnabel 2021; Hein and ...
2.5D smart objects using thermoplastic stretchable interconnects Universiteit Gent
This contribution describes the technology used to produce thermoplastically deformable electronics, based on flexible circuit board technology, to achieve low-cost 2.5D free-form rigid smart objects. These one-time deformable circuits employ a modified version of the previously developed meander-based “polymer-last” technology for dynamically stretchable elastic circuits. This is readily achieved by substituting the dynamically stretchable ...
Simpler learning of robotic manipulation of clothing by utilizing DIY smart textile technology Universiteit Gent
Deformable objects such as ropes, wires, and clothing are omnipresent in society and industry but are little researched in robotics research. This is due to the infinite amount of possible state configurations caused by the deformations of the deformable object. Engineered approaches try to cope with this by implementing highly complex operations in order to estimate the state of the deformable object. This complexity can be circumvented by ...
Robustness assessment and optimization of a simplified smart structure model for structural acoustic control KU Leuven
In the past 20 years, fundamental research has been conducted on intelligent materials towards developing smart structures. This has raised industrial interest for the application of smart structures to many problems found in civil life. Among those, noise is gaining an increased attention as it is one of the environmental pressures that most closely affects the EU citizens, as confirmed by public surveys on overall nuisance and health problems. ...
Shaping the Future now : good start! International evaluation of geo life region, smart housing smaland and the paper province 2.0 Universiteit Gent
In this evaluation report Vinnova (Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems) presents the first evaluation of the initiatives in the fourth announcement of the Vinnväxt-programme. The initiatives were selected through a call in two steps; first a planning phase where eleven applications were approved and a second phase where the winners were announced. In May 2013 the programme council and the assessment panel (10 experts), plus ...
Web data extraction systems versus research collaboration in sustainable planning for housing: smart governance takes it all Universiteit Gent
To date, there are no clear insights in the spatial patterns and micro-dynamics of the housing market. The objective of this study is to collect real estate micro-data for the development of policy-support indicators on housing market dynamics at the local scale. These indicators can provide the requested insights in spatial patterns and micro-dynamics of the housing market. Because the required real estate data are not systematicly published as ...
