CBS – Calculating Traffic based on Road Sensor Data

The Nationale Databank Wegverkeergegevens (NDW), a database for traffic data, contains the counts of more than 14,000 traffic loops, that are to be found in the Dutch system of motorways and provincial roads. During a day it is analysed how many vehicles of which type pass through these loops each minute. Each day this givesView problem details

HZPC – The Mathematics of French Fries

HZPC is the world-leading developer and seller of high-quality seed potatoes. It is a Dutch company with offices in Metslawier and Joure that operates internationally and that employs over 230 people. To serve its customers better, it also performs research in the growth and processing of its potato varieties. This project is related to theView problem details

INCAS3 – Nonlinear Cochlear Mechanics

It is perhaps astonishing that in spite of the advances in medical imaging and other research techniques, the possibilities of visualizing damage to the human hearing system are very limited. Although there is a vast range of audiological tests that measure the effect of damage, pinpointing what is causing these effects is often impossible. This,View problem details

MARIN – System Parameter Identification in Numerical Simulations

A common problem in numerical simulations is finding the correct parameter values of a mathematical model. A typical example from MARIN practice is the simulation of a ship manoeuvre, like a zig-zag or a turning circle (Figure 1), where the result is compared with the outcome of an experiment. The forces acting on the shipView problem details

Witteveen+Bos – Monitoring the Sewer System

The old city centre of Delft is sensitive to both pluvial and fluvial flooding, especially specific areas in the eastern part of the city centre. This includes surcharging of sewers and flooding of streets and buildings due to storm events, overflowing of canals and high groundwater levels. In order to reduce flooding impacts, the canalsView problem details

WLN – A Statistical Tool for Water Quality Monitoring

For 30 years WLN safeguards the quality of drinking water in Groningen and Drenthe. By using chemical, biological and technological research protects the quality of the drinking water that water company Groningen and water transportation company Drente provide. Quality control is essential for WLN. Background Measuring the quality of drinking water is WLN’s core business.View problem details
