The Inverted Pendulum is one of the classical control problems of an inherently unstable system. The idea is that the pendulum, fixed on a cart, stays upright in its vertical position while the cart is moving, or disturbances are applied. The system is used to demonstrate the capability of the target …

SME production companies producing high variety/low volume discrete products face challenging customer demands. These result in complex planning issues due to the tension between optimizing a low volume flow and optimizing efficiency parameters. Current planning and control systems do not support this …

Running is a popular recreational sports activity, but it also has a discontinuation rate, primarily due to running-related injuries. Running injuries, and hence discontinuation can be reduced by providing feedback and instructions on running technique. This paper aims to explore three low fidelity feedback …

This Work-in-Progress Innovate Practice Short Paper is concentrated around online teaching and learning and especially focused on the didactics in remote labs. In a remote lab, the lab equipment or instruments are geographically at another place than the student (and/or lecturer) himself. Learning will …

Climate change accentuates heat waves in The Netherlands. This, in combination with high nutrient concentrations in Dutch surface waters, is intensifying the proliferation of toxic blue-green algae (cyanobacteria), a threat for the health of the population and ecosystems. Lakes are resources for recreational …

New technologies or approaches are being widely developed and proposed to be deployed in real energy systems to improve desired objectives; however, supporting decision making processes to select best solutions in terms of performance and efficiently following cost-benefit analysis require some sort …

Industrial control systems are essential for the functioning of our society since they control our electricity, water, agriculture, health, communication, transportation, emergency service and financial service. In the digital age of big data and data analytics these so-called critical infrastructures …

There is an urgency for developing methods that are capable of monitoring water systems that are fast changing due to climate change and increase of anthropogenic pressure. Updated and real-time detailed data is necessary to support water and soil management strategies. This study evaluates the implementations …

Real-time location systems (RTLS) can be implemented in aged care for monitoring persons with wandering behaviour and asset management. RTLS can help retrieve personal items and assistive technologies that when lost or misplaced may have serious financial, economic and practical implications. Various …

Purpose – In the domain of healthcare, both process efficiency and the quality of care can be improved through the use of dedicated pervasive technologies. Among these applications are so-called real-time location systems (RTLS). Such systems are designed to determine and monitor the location of assets …
