The theoretical promises of quantum computing have been notoriously glorified by pop-science articles in recent years. The practical and feasible applications, however, are still scarce. This begs the question of what companies can do with this technology right now. At CGI, a proof of concept was developed …

Poster KIM voor de ECR is nu online te zien via EPOS: https://epos.myesr.org/poster/esr/ecr2022/C-16092 posternummer: C-16092, ECR 2022 Purpose Artificial Intelligence (AI) has developed at high speed the last few years and will substantially change various disciplines (1,2). These changes are also …

Background and objectives Before the Covid-19 pandemic, important social studies already indicated the severe negative feedback associated with high-rise developments. During the Covid-19 pandemic, citizens were confronted with their neighbourhoods’ insufficient restorative capacity to maintain their …

From the very beginnings of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, water management has been a topic of prime importance. This subject has taken even greater priority in recent times due to climate change and the consequent erratic weather and sea-level rise. The measures taken to ensure water safety have been …

Pavements are used everywhere, and are of a major importance in the infrastructure. However, conditions for which these pavements are designed for and built in are rapidly changing due to climate change. The trends observed in the Netherlands suggest a maximum temperature increase of 3 degrees Celsius …

When waves interact with surfaces of different structures they are reflected, and these reflections are mainly caused due to less wave energy being dissipated by the surface of the structure. Naturally, rock slopes or permeable structures (mangroves forests, brushwood material, etc.) are used around …

In Vlissingen, the municipality wants to make a selected neighbourhood natural gas-free. In order to support this, they have been granted a subsidy. There are many important stakeholders in this project such as the housing corporation l’Escaut which owns most of the houses in the neighbourhood. All of …

The emission of greenhouse gasses is a trending subject worldwide. Also the maritime industry is looking for alternative options for zero-emission transport. Nedstack provides fuel cells as a solution for this challenge. This research is a first glance at the possibilities to create a feasible retrofit …

Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS) have the potential to offer better flexibility to a grid than any single energy storage solution. However, sizing a HESS is challenging, as the required capacity, power and ramp rates for a given application are difficult to derive. This paper proposes a method for …

At the 5Groningen field lab, the next generation of wireless technology is being put to the test in an experiment with a prototype involving real-time decision-making using 5G edge computing. One of the applications envisioned is a smart police vest that can fully automatically detect threats like firearms …
