De verantwoordelijkheidskloof bij zelfrijdende auto's

De verantwoordelijkheidskloof bij zelfrijdende auto's

Wie is er verantwoordelijk wanneer zelfrijdende auto’s betrokken zijn bij ongevallen? Onlangs reed een zelfstandig rijdende Volvo een voetganger aan in Arizona, die de aanrijding niet overleefde. En in 2016 kwam de chauffeur van een zelfrijdende Tesla om het leven. Filippo Santoni de Sio van de TU Delft onderzoekt ethische vragen rond zelfrijdende auto’s.

Improving Safety and Security using Bayesian Belief Networks

Bayesian belief networks (BBNs) are frameworks to model safety and security related problems within the public and private sectors. It involves the identification of causal factors that may lead to economic damage and loss of life within these sectors. These cause–consequence chains are typically described in terms of probabilistic formulations to capture uncertainties in these chains.

Rethinking paradigms

January 2023 - ?

Rethinking paradigms is about the way people in healthcare think, reason, and conduct research. Current paradigms seem to limit innovation and progress, even sometimes cause harm to patients, healthcare professionals and the healthcare system itself. We explore the validity of this observation and the need for a fundamental change in how we think and approach challenges.

Capturing the societal value of smart energy systems

Smart grid technologies are considered to be important enablers in the transition to a more sustainable electricity system, as they facilitate the growing deployment of, among others, renewable energies. However, there are serious ethical concerns related to their use, concerning privacy, security, reliability, or affordability. To address these ethical concerns and avoid conflicts during implementation, there is a strong urgency to take moral values into account when designing smart grid technologies.

Veiligheid en beveiliging van chemie en transport

Hoe de douane efficiënter inspecteert in de logistieke keten

Hoe de douane efficiënter inspecteert in de logistieke keten

De douane op Schiphol en in de haven van Rotterdam krijgt het de komende jaren flink druk. De enorme groei van e-commerce en de aankomende Brexit zorgen ervoor dat het aantal douane aangiften dat via deze grote logistieke hubs Europa in komt, stijgt van 160 miljoen naar 500 miljoen binnen nu en vijf jaar. Deze enorme toename vraagt om slimme manieren van werken om efficiënte risicoanalyse te waarborgen en kosten te besparen bij verwerking van de douane import aangifte. “Digitalisering en samenwerking tussen douane organisaties en de vervoersketen is hierbij van groot belang”, aldus Yao-Hua Tan, hoogleraar Informatie en Communicatie Technologie.

APROPOS

In the race towards building smarter, more powerful and more connected machines, scientists are also searching for ways to make sure they are energy efficient. If no action is taken, computers will soon need more electricity than the world energy resources can generate. More alarmingly, the Internet of Things will connect up to 50 billion devices to the cloud through wireless networks. This EU-funded APROPOS project is exploring ways to decrease energy consumption and optimise energy-accuracy trade-offs. To that end, it is developing approximate computing, in which applications using data may be satisfied with an 'acceptable' level of accuracy, and it will train early-stage researchers in energy-accuracy trade-offs on circuit, architecture, software and system-level solutions.

SPATIAL

A fund of 5M€ is awarded to SPATIAL project coordinated by TBM Associate Professor Dr. Aaron Ding.
